[2026-09-07T09:20:01Z] dylan_a: is that the grape farmer himself [2026-09-07T09:21:29Z] capitalism bro [2026-09-07T09:21:49Z] yeah we're not starting that again today lol [2026-09-07T09:22:01Z] xD [2026-09-07T09:36:15Z] midfavila: Hello [2026-09-07T09:36:59Z] dylan_a: hey hey [2026-09-07T09:37:07Z] how it's going? been a while since you've been on [2026-09-07T09:40:41Z] Yeah, it's been ages. I decided I'll start lurking in here a little. I mean, why not? [2026-09-07T09:41:13Z] i don't think anyone would object :P [2026-09-07T09:41:18Z] although it's pretty quiet these days [2026-09-07T09:41:40Z] We finished with the grape harvest and winemaking a couple of days ago. This is my third year now, was very successful. The grape juice is fermenting away and will be wine in a few weeks. [2026-09-07T09:42:03Z] good to hear :3 [2026-09-07T09:42:17Z] i bet you're feeling pretty smug as of late about not needing to rely on industrial fertilisers et al [2026-09-07T09:42:31Z] I posted some photos on the wild project Instagram (I know, I know) if you're curious about what it looks like [2026-09-07T09:42:46Z] not even on the fedi smdh [2026-09-07T09:42:53Z] i could take a peek tho [2026-09-07T09:43:43Z] Nah, it's not smugness, it's more I'm sad that other people don't do the same! In this part of the world it's very easy to do grapes and olives sustainably like this. [2026-09-07T09:43:54Z] very fair [2026-09-07T09:44:12Z] i was mostly being tongue in cheek anyway [2026-09-07T09:44:35Z] the region i'm in has a pretty big agricultural sector but it's all heavily industrialised monocrops so people are freaking out about stuff atm [2026-09-07T09:44:38Z] https://www.instagram.com/wild_project_gr/ [2026-09-07T09:45:35Z] that's pretty cool man, you look like you're doing well [2026-09-07T09:47:04Z] Thanks man [2026-09-07T09:48:09Z] Yeah, it's going well. I started a volunteer program beginning of the year and have had more than 50 people stay here since... Teaching them about this life, natural farming, etc. [2026-09-07T09:48:26Z] Even had a former KISS contributor stay a little bit ;) [2026-09-07T09:48:32Z] that's pretty cool [2026-09-07T09:49:07Z] well, if i ever happen to be in the region, i'll be sure to barge in and steal some olives or something [2026-09-07T09:49:17Z] do you post any of that stuff online? [2026-09-07T10:02:46Z] You're more than welcome to visit :D [2026-09-07T10:03:34Z] I post photos on the Instagram and write about it on the wild.gr website and my blog dylan.gr though I've been a little lazy of late [2026-09-07T10:08:56Z] well, there's nothing wrong with taking it easy now and again, as long as you get back to things when they need to be gotten back to and all [2026-09-07T10:09:26Z] i'll have to add it to my rss feed, if that's something on the site. [2026-09-07T10:29:51Z] Yeah, there's an rss feed on both. I don't really write about tech all that much though. Mostly what I'm thinking about and a lot of poetry [2026-09-07T10:43:32Z] same i will steal grapes and the olives when i vist that place [2026-09-07T12:35:53Z] hiii dylan_a! great seeing you here! [2026-09-07T12:36:49Z] dylan_a: nice to see you make an appearance.

I was going to bite the bullet and order it this weekend, before I was told that I can have this, if you want. siiiiick [2026-09-07T12:39:11Z] Thanks for the kind words everyone :) nice to be here [2026-09-07T12:41:22Z] kris_: i meant to say order the retroid pocket nova, this weekend. not a 3ds. i messed up when I changed my mind on how I was going to word the sentence. lol [2026-09-07T12:42:13Z] dylan_a: always good to have the man himself here. we're here because of you after all. kiss paved the way for lots of other projects and ideas that people keep comming here to show of [2026-09-07T12:48:39Z] <3
