But beyond calculating the volume of the nests of obscure birds, Hypercard could be used to stitch together applications that did pretty much anything.

Myst was built in Hypercard, for example. But so were hundreds of other games and programs by amateurs.

The point of hypercard was that it was accessible to people who were not developers. Anyone could reasonably build something with this tool.

Most people that I've spoken to about it said that it felt to them like the future.

Aaah, ich kriegs einfach nicht auf die Reihe, schlafen zu gehen :< *liegt herum und ist müde aber schlafen gehen ist so aufwändig*

also if yr a trans person who's on or wants to be on estrogen based hrt but doesn't want breasts, or can't risk breasts, look into raloxifine and related things. I've seen very few experiences on it, but. yeah. it's basically anti estrogenic selectively on breast tissue

@distelfliege @Jules ich bewunder deine Bilder ja immer so *-* tbh wurde dein instagram auch in der telegramgruppe gepostet weil so inspirierend. (nicht von mir, ha!) :>

@Jules @Pinkshrimps es gibt so grobe Pläne, sobald es schön ist in den Donauauen zu zelten, weil es dort eine Wiese gibt, wo man das für 2 Tage darf, und nur zu kochen und spazieren zu gehen, jz muss nur noch Wetter und Motivation passen eigentlich :s Aber unsere Telegramgruppe heißt "Kaffeekochen @ Donauauen" und ich finde, das ist schon ein guter Anfang :>

@Shutsumon yes, that's Clariel :/ I didn't even hate the book, i think it's just… not as good as the other ones, and not as good as it had the potential to be by far

I'm slightly uncomfortable with pictures of people on the subway that look like the person wasn't asked if it was ok

(maybe the pictures were made to look like that for aesthetics and the person did consent, but I can't know that)

@Jules @Pinkshrimps no, the cheapest fake that we could find, I think :) i don't have any comparison because i've never really cooked outdoors before i think, but i liked it :>

@Jules aaah 😻 @Pinkshrimps and I have a similar one and I am so excited for when the weather is nice enough to go camping :3

But seriously the fact that some libraries buy some of the books that you suggest (unless you suggest things that the library can't get, like I just did) is one of my favourite things ever

Ooooh I'm always so happy when people recommend books that happen to also exist as audiobooks :>

You: "Why are you describing everything out loud?"
Me: "I played an adventure game this weekend." *turns to the fourth wall* "Point and click adventures are a great way to relax and I'm not sure why, in this era of chaos and dread, they remain such a niche after their downfall to more action-oriented titles in the 90s." *steals a stapler from your desk* *walks out of the room using a shortest path algorithm*
