It's the first mastodon-first Death Generator, and probably the last one of the year! It's nothing Christmassy, it's Spyro 2: Season of the Flame for GBA!

Make sure to carefully press it into the corners and sides and make it relatively level. Doesn't have to be perfect.

The parchment paper is a fun trick that lets you extricate the shortbread easily even when it has the caramel and chocolate layers on top. You leave tabs to pull

and done.

I wonder if there's like… an internal bidding process between teams, to decide, when they move The Most Useful Button In The Interface, The One Everyone Clicks/Taps By Muscle Memory out of the way, whose feature gets to replace it

but the GBA was the last final system where it was super common to have all your text messages encoded in BS-8, the text encoding you just pulled out of your ass

#4 - Learn to say, "It's none of my business."

Don't understand someone's desire to use neo pronouns? None of your business. Can't understand why someone is a furry? None of your business. Curious about how someone who talks about being poor can have a Starbucks in that last selfie they posted? None of your damn business.

Bats are just puppies with wings.

it's time to disassemble a GBA game again. Sigh.

It's a Christmas miracle!!! The "When Love is Gone" scene has finally been restored to The Muppets Chrismas Carol!!

I watched the VHS (which still had the scene) a thousand times as a kid, and was crushed to find out that Disney lost the negatives and none of the modern/digital releases included it. But someone tracked down a workable copy in 2020, so I've been hoping for this news since then!

A real win for film preservation and a wonderful holiday surprise! (1/2)

technology is amazing

It’s funny how recognizing AI art nowadays is just the same old rules as recognizing the fae in old tales.

“Count the fingers, count the knuckles, count the teeth, check the shadows…”

… and under NO circumstances should you make deals with their kind.

Child who grows up using computers, learns backslashes cause the next thing to not be interpreted, and starts writing backslashes before words in messages to adults if she is trying to keep them from noticing certain information

Like there's a lot of things you can say about CLI interfaces, such as "they're bad", but at least *usually* when the instructions say "type fkdr -fdd 3 -- -f -s -d -o" the way that you do that is you type those actual letters in that order and you don't have to find the secret inner CLI to type them into

Obscure Star Trek texts I would be into: a keynote from a Vulcan academic conference on the cultural history of their bangs; promotional materials from a Bajoran jewelers' convention; a textile swatch collection from Garak's shop.

I AM BRINGING THE ARCTIC CIRCLE TO YOU, FRIENDS!!!

I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT

The final stage in Ungrateful Birds: Call of the Desert does something with the systems I designed that doesn't feel like I should have been able to, and that it absolutely was not designed to accommodate, and I'm really pleased with myself for pulling it off.
