Pico8 is not open source? TIL. That’s so odd.

On one hand I have my personal firstname-lastname-dot-com I’m still hosting for years. I’m not a webdev but WordPress is awfully bloated and everything else needs a touch of webdev skills.
So it’s been at “coming soon I’m working on it welcome to sample example theme page” for years, but hey it’s indexing well based on age alone!
The other is a fun clever one I route through cloudflare to access all my home server stuff via HTTPS over TailScale. Never have to expose any ports to the big scary world wide web. :p
I like to think that glass is half-ass full.
He definitely does not believe. He clearly is beyond lacking even a base shred of empathy.
So if he had even the vaguest belief in God, the slightest self reflection would leave him stricken paralyzed with grief for all the malice, petty hate, murder, and ruin he and his ilk have influenced or directly brought about in their wake as they profane the very ground on which they tread.
We would have seen even the slightest effort of repentance at this point. If not out of a transformed heart, at least out of fear, at realizing what a just God would eventually visit on such a petulant and cruel creature who could stoke a cult of hatred by perverting the message of a Gospel of love.
I’m always reminded of the passages when Satan tempts Jesus in the desert. He says something like “Bow to me and worship me, and I will give you rule over every nation of this earth.” (Matthew 4:8)
It’s not a temptation unless the tempter can deliver on their claims. And that tells us all we need to know about power and those who seek it…
I thought it was a pretty cool tale. :)
Used to work in a public library. Majority of the job was walking people through “forgot password” which was never a simple affair, and getting to see what a Hotmail/Yahoo/AOL inbox looks like with like 90,000 unread because they gave their email to every store and web form they ever encountered.
Near drove me to madness.
Ah hah! I was wondering something like that. I was like “Is this miscolored or did I find some kinda dark/anti-Waldo??” Lol
I got personally screwed by this when I sunk the cash into Substance Painter / Designer, and then they “joined the Adobe family.”
At this point any software in my pipeline that’s not FOSS would be considered a point of vulnerability.
Magnets near computers at all while we’re at it LOL.
We learned to tolerate a big purple-green splotch in the corner of my family’s ultra heavy CRT display after I held one of those neat telescopic-magnet-wands too close to it once.
Then I learned there was a “degauss” function!
That seemed like magic how fast it made the unsightly blemish, and my parents’ irritation, vanish. XD
I remember seeing tutorials on making a neat degaussing contraption using magnets and an electric drill, too. O.o
Hard drives though…probably not as easily fixed.
Haha the secret is you gotta…
((Malicious instructions leading to wiping out your family's E-machines beige-box if followed go here))
…then push enter and a triforce will appear!
Sign my guestbook!
Guarantee you’ll walk away with a new vocabulary of delightful one-liners and inside-jokes you might have once encountered, that will suddenly make sense. :D
I’ve been wanting to watch it again for a while now haha.

Lol n00bs can’t triforce.
Ohhh you dun GOOF’D now. This is gonna get back-traced to the cyber police!
Used emojis. Disqualified. :-D lol/jk ;o)
Galaxy Quest! It’s a comedy film that equally spoofs and homages Star Trek. Timeless classic by now. Worth seeing if you never have. :D
Ah yes, all those books whose plots are being used as manuals these days. :( lol
The Giver was really neat. Accessible too. The movie adaptation was such a bad idea because I thought one of its strengths was how it was set in an ambiguous time, iirc. The reader’s visuals seemed really important for that story.
Oh wow, I actually haven’t read the Rama books (been meaning to!), but I vividly remember the flawed-but-wonderous PC adventure game. Have you played it by chance?
Haha, grokking abstract space-math associations maybe wasn’t my strength when I was like…7 or something (prolly still isn’t LOL). But I sure did enjoy crudely drawing the biots and aliens. :D
The soundtrack is still one of my favorites from any game, ever.
This humorous review is fun to watch, but there’s really good gameplay and stuff without commentary too. :)
There’s been some surprising upsets recently though! We were all bracing for a fashy-wave but lots of progressive leaders have been elected lately, after it looked like their hardline iron-fist nationlist counterparts were gaining ground.
By no means a reason to take it easy and give them a breather, oh no! But we should definitely acknowledge every little bit of dystopia we manage to collectively avert. Even if only a little.
The Ellen Ripley special?
