Good morning, Fediverse! And I wonder, has anyone played (and figured out) Brataccas?

What an odd but interesting game. As a fan of Psygnosis, it's pretty neat to go back to their first-ever game born out of the ashes of the ZX Spectrum mega-game that never was, Bandersnatch. One of two games that helped sink the first big UK video game company, Imagine.

I tried puzzling it out without checking what instructions there might be, but didn't get very far. It defaults to mouse controls as well, which makes it feel like you're playing QWOP or something like that.

As well as being a VERY early Amiga game, it was also released on Atari ST and Apple Macintosh. Someone pointed out elsewhere that it runs in medium resolution on ST and the miggy looked like one of the usual direct ports, which makes sense with how hi-res and sharp the graphics feel.

man shapeshifting powers are WASTED on non-furries.

@stfn Or just look at https://brute.fail/ - SSH attempts every few seconds.

toying with the idea of making a Figment fursuit...

The OpenAI tussle is between the faction who think Skynet will kill them if they build it, and the faction who think Roko's Basilisk will torture them if they don't build it hard enough.

A bit more progress on my #renamon #fursuit head! Brained good enough to fit the head straps and test the fit; nice and comfy! Now I need to work on the ears, etc!

"young people can't buy homes because they'd rather buy big fancy TVs"

I am begging older generations to understand that televisions have gone from "a thing that costs 4 months' salary" to "a thing you get for free when your roommate moves and can't be bothered to take it"

Finished paws for Hex, Rath, and Zar’roc! Whew😮‍💨💧#fursuit #workinprogress

@rinidisc she's heeeere!

For years, people have asked, who is the princess of dot software? where is the skunk that calls the shots? It turns out it is @BestGirlGrace, here

Stop treating open source projects and foundations like consumer-facing businesses.

Unless you've got a paid support contract that's being neglected, or there's a grave concern, it's inappropriate to escalate issues to massively public forums.

Maintainers and the staffers and volunteers at foundations are already overworked.

Don't make it harder for them to address your issue by ALSO making them waste time firefighting in public.

Looking a little tired too, guess he's taking a break from work!

Suit is based off of the hardspace ship breaker videogame, difficult part was dealing with the characters tail, being a shark and all that...
