I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

@dariaphoebe A favorite doesn’t feel right so let me leave you a 😭 in reply as well
That post gives the context, but if you already know what the Famicom game Cocoron is and you want the direct link to a new way to play it:
The Cocoron “Heck%” randomizer:
@deejvalen nice. I read it the first time as “look if you’re trans” because it made sense and would fit the rhyme
@deejvalen move a couple of words around and this is an eleanor rigby
Gargron? That's the buff demon dude you need to hit with a pinball, right?

sorry I haven't been reposting my Silver Ball Century #pinball streams here consistently!
Tonight is a bonus stream because pinball in 1992 is too good for just two streams

Laurie Penny, still relevant https://lauriepenny.substack.com/p/peace-is-still-weirder-than-war
#eurovision as a peace project; national competition re-envisaged as something gloriously silly, irreverent, irrelevant, fun, camp and democratic.

@pup_hime @deejvalen what else would “godspeed” mean, if it doesn’t mean that each god makes you go faster

@christianp oh and I see how this isn't the same. the rule I described would not get off the ground -- it would keep b=1 forever and just produce 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

It's late 1991 on Silver Ball Century, my chronological playthrough of virtual #pinball : https://cohost.org/arborelia/post/1447700-ball-be-back

It's funny how this (the TRS-80 MC-10) is a "forgotten computer" to most people, but it's actually what I thought people meant by "trs-80" or "trash-80" for a bunch of my life. It was the first computer that I "owned" myself, though it was a hand-me-down and I was very young. I have a lot of fond memories of doing nothing very useful with it.

For clarification, folks, this means that Calckey is the first ActivityPub platform (AFAIK) that will let you migrate your entire social graph (followers AND followings) from one ActivityPub instance (whether Mastodon, Calckey, Misskey, or other). You still have to export from one and import to the other, but that's a simple thing (and will probably be automated soon)..
