good design: the developers of N++ found that a lot of playtesters felt like they sucked at the game because they kept dying, so they made it so that the demos that play on the title screen are all of the character failing. you'll never see the ninja on the menu reach the exit. it's as if to say "don't worry, you're supposed to die a lot. you'll get there."

hilarious design: as you play the game, those demos get replaced with your own fuckups

software devs, organize!

software does not need to be awful. it does not need to watch or exploit you. our enthrallment to wages makes scabs of us. through our complicity, bosses launder blood through us.

it can be made to endure, to evolve and grow like great oaks. it can be made accountable to the people it affects. a higher standard awaits.

@Azure I'd rather ugly tech that's trying to look like something, than the boring nonsense we have today

@thomasfuchs I've yet to see anything I like better than the Sharp X1 (a Z80 system from Japan). Beautiful red case, builtin tape deck, matching keyboard and CRT.
