Now, what I'm really looking for is *high-resolution* scans of the old Colossal Cave maps described in this paper:

The 1845 Stephen Bishop map is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stephen_Bishop_1842_Map_of_Mammoth_Cave,_Kentucky_-_Hi-Res.jpg
(I realize that modern maps are super-high-density and may not be available for download! But the historic ones must be somewhere.)

@0xabad1dea pigeons, karens, unicorns, ducks, and polaroids, i guess

@mavica_again ...have you ever read 17776 (and 20020)
'cause that feels terrifyingly appropriate with that context
#pico8 calculator progress: got the clickable buttons working and user input is possible! I gotta work on how everything looks and how I formation is displayed 😅
To kill a French vampire, you need to drive a baguette through their heart. That might sound easy, but I assure you, it's painstaking.
@Aether and there they go.
it is RIDICULOUS what kind of air this derg is getting. dude come get the ruler check this out.
yeah, they're not coming back.
@esdin @mcc like NFT bros legitimately seem to think that "ownership" confers some kind of magic power over the thing owned
as if they could walk up to a junkyard with a pink slip for a lambo in hand, accept the car as a crushed cube of metal, and then drive off in it
or take a leisurely drive from the busy streets of Los Angeles all the way to the beaches of Oahu straight across the Pacific Ocean
"the pink slip says I own it; that means I can do anything I want with it!"
@esdin @mcc like my personal favorite fantasy making the rounds was shit to the tune of "the NFT magic will let you buy an exclusive one-of-a-kind collectible Mario and use him in Halo!"
which like...shows COMPLETE ignorance of how games are made, how they would actually need to be DESIGNED for such interactions to make sense, or alternately, how they would all need to be functionally interchangeable in order for it to work
@esdin @mcc it's almost impressive how NFTs transcended "a solution looking for a problem" and went straight to "a problem looking for other problems to make even worse"
not to mention like...everyone promoting them is either an idiot mark or an opportunistic ghoul (with room for overlap), but basically NO ONE trying to shill them seems to actually UNDERSTAND them
