New(ish) on the Secret Area: Here's some stuff I bought for the past six months.
I posted this on Friday and forgot to promote it on my socials. Whoops.😅
Likes, shares and comments appreciated, as always.

update: doing some image searching through Google Chrome has found me the actual car:
The All-Cars Charly Camel.
Cute little thing, isn't it

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.”
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.
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

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
https://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
