commiseration, hyperbole, poking at the quoted comment
@alienmelon i love the usage of "canceled" here like you've completely obliterated every single trace of him from the face of the planet. if only you actually wielded such power
You've heard of putting echo "Segmentation fault" in someone's .profile

@leadedsolder i.e. how you can still play 2600 with a genesis controller fine
@leadedsolder oh, are you using the extra buttons on the genesis controller?
i figured it works fine without them if you don't
@leadedsolder wouldn't supporting master system and genesis controllers technically be the same?
@andrewt aww, i didn't get a DMCA 😢 https://github.com/Lana-chan/palmdle

this is my newest work in early access as it gets build, it’s atmospheric horror walking sim.
i'm overqualified for most jobs on linkedin yet they can't bring me in because mr uk government says i can't generate value for their economy without paying them thousands of pounds to get a little piece of paper ^^; http://maple.pet/tech give me money
i wish i had disposable income to just throw at these problems but sadly i've been unemployed for 2 years now and stuck in immigration limbo which means i literally cannot look for work anywhere
i'm just really upset at myself because i tried so carefully to open the keyboard membrane latch and the whole thing came out in one fell swoop and like 3 lines had the carbon pad at the end completely sheared off. in trying to fix it i managed to make it worse. keyboard membranes suck! the whole thing is still good but just the one little connector end is ruined and you gotta bin the whole thing
i'm taking donations and/or commission work https://maple.pet/commissions https://ko-fi.com/squirrel

more train of thought:
…there’s that aspect of it too with how impermanent modern software is built to be (subscription only, cloud based, you never really own it…) that saving this old stuff is the only sense of control you have over the history of tools you used or how you digitally exist.
a train if thought reoccurring to me is that collecting old hardware, software, or games, has the same appeal as collecting old books. you feel like you are saving something meaningful. getting rid of it just feels wrong.
i have all this very old microsoft software. it’s completely useless but i can’t bring myself to get rid of it. even tho it’s been preserved elsewhere. it almost feels like throwing away a book.
@alienmelon we just lucked out getting someone else's entire amiga collection full of magazine coverdisks. they're all archived somewhere, but these are physically mine now, and i can poke around with them without having to deal with pulling from archives
@lexbailey hey i recognize that speccy
@NanoRaptor you're making my heart ache
