All the big open source projects tend to suffer from the same kind of feature creep. Or, not even feature creep. It's not that they end up too complex, it's that they start that way.

These aren't tools built for users, to make it easy for a user to make things. These are tools built for developers, to make it less painful to do the stuff they don't like doing.

That's fine, I guess, but that's not what made hypercard special.

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.

Aesthetic: sideways BSOD

*purrs v carelessly*

as it stands you can filter words (the button with the sliders in the home TL), but only things within the body of the post. it skips the cw description field right now, the place ppl are likely to describe the thing

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

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*

Got several of him looking completely silly too. Look at that face!

Snapped a few pics of Max being utterly adorable this morning,

while he was having a go at the ball that's just hanging down from a string

Minka took a turn too but she's not half as funny, she just becomes a murder ball
