i have no idea what the scope of ScummVM even is anymore at this point but i'm always excited to see them supporting more games to be played on modern machines manitu.social/@scummvm/1134002

botsin.space PSA 

Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/2

TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.

I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

netizen.club/~wildweasel/golfs - Going live with a slightly more analytical article for Golfshrine, as I think about how being good at a golf video game is nowhere near the same thing as being good at actual golf.

a month from now when i share how hard it was to do this someone is going to go “oh you mean [insert appropriate term for what i wanted to do], it’s easy here…” and i’ll be like 🫠💀 because it’s all about knowing the complicated words so you can look up how. if you don’t know complicated words, well…
