help I can't stop listening to Steely Dan's The Second Arrangement

Continuing my Price is Right watch and I'm just somewhat fascinated by this TV dinner that's literally just two Salisbury steaks and french fries.

My new social media app is called Grouse. You can only post criticism of the 3,000 other new social media apps.

Posts are called “Gripes.” No likes or reposts—just one button to “Commiserate.” If a Gripe receives enough Commiseration it’s elevated by the algorithm into a “Complaint.”

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

note to self: don't pronounce the t in "Renault"

I've never seen an episode of Top Gear until tonight, and I'm enjoying myself.

The cars are cool.

Jeremy Clarkson is an utter bellend, though

Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.

Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

I absolutely love the three-hour delay during which those mental gears likely turned oh so slowly towards a hilariously horrified realization.

another day where I slept in and now it's late and I'm probably gonna be up all night again

argh

are you on scrumbo?

follow me on florple

okay FINE I made an account on thimble

birdsite, social media discourse 

seems every time a new social media site pops up I see like 25 tweets going "okay I've made an account on that other site, follow me on florple."

it's kinda annoying but it also shows how we're in a dangerous time for social media and internet contact, and that's a bit worrying to me.

Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda

officially . please get in touch with me if you know of any remote positions for an all-around programmer, developer, interface designer with 10 years experience. i can do pretty much anything with computers and i need to survive. :boost_ok:

Still slowly at compiling for this game show cars thing and so far half of them come from Price is Right episodes.

Which makes sense, considering I've been binge-watching them as of late 😅

@grumpygamer open source classic overhead shooter, #CDogsSDL

cxong.github.io/cdogs-sdl/

Was a freeware DOS game from 1997-2001, open sourced and I’ve been maintaining since 2013

One of the unusual features is that it can read wolfenstein 3d data, so if you have that installed via steam or gog, you can play through that whole game but overhead instead of first person

if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home

what the heck I've been on HRT for 22 months???

So I have this idea for a mastodon bot that randomly posts a car from a game show every half hour.

I've found 14 cars to feature so far, and I've got a long way to go

the time for pride is over

the time for wrath is now and forever
