It’s true, tho

"firefox only has a 3% market share"

bruh that's 150 million people

Sounds about right for modern printer companies these days... xD

Modern 64-bit versions of Windows can’t run 16-bit software anymore.

Or can they?

I drew the cover art for this month's issue of Pico-View (a webzine for #pico8 devs and fans)! I made it in my pico-8 drawing app and recorded a timelapse of the process.

Background music by @muse_energy, also made in pico-8!

#textWeek2023 has started! A full week dedicated to text games of all sort on the Internet.

But most important, today is the release of the Virtual Museum of Screens! Take a tour on an entirely ASCII virtual place to learn about the history of games on the Internet (link below)

One of the creepier tech-related incidents I remember was many years ago when I wanted the Sam's Photofacts (a third-party creator of device specs and schematics, etc.) for a very old portable TV. Way out of date, but I was trying to help someone with it.

I mentioned to a friend that I was looking for old Photofacts, but I did not say anything about the TV. He scribbled an address on a scrap of paper, an address locally here in L.A. "Try him," he muttered.

I drive over. It's a small unmarked storefront. I go in, the bell on the door rings. Sitting inside, like the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland", is this little guy perched on a stool, with immense stacks of paper surrounding him everywhere. Total mayhem.

I walk up to him -- knowing that this was a waste of time and really wanting to get out of there -- and asked if he had the Sam's Photofacts for that specific very old TV model.

Without saying a word, he reached over to the pile of papers right next to him, took the TOP item off the pile, and silently handed it to me. It was the ancient one I needed. Stunned, I paid him the amount marked on the item, and left with it, not completely sure what had just happened.

When I drove by there a month later that storefront was something else entirely. He was gone.
