Hey @BoozyBadger how do you say "if you do some stupid shit and bad things happen because you treated the cryptic utterances of a weirdo living in a cave as anything other than entertainment, that's on you and not the cave-dwelling weirdo" but in lawyer

oh my sweet flaming jesus, this game actually encodes their text files with UTF-8.
I think this is the first time I have ever seen a game be this sensible.

i know that tech companies having a neutral stance on unionization is strictly a good thing, but i think it would be funny if a tech company was explicitly pro-union

"hey, you guys should consider unionizing"
"but steve, you're... you're the ceo"
"form a fucking union or we'll start a round of layoffs"

@v Okay but you're missing the wildest part about the Hypercard user levels

Old Mac OS shipped with a Hypercard "player" that was like a free demo version. It could play stacks other people made, but it was limited to creator level 3.

Somehow, I assume because Bill Atkinson was actually ideologically motivated, the version that actually shipped had a cheat code where you could type in "Magic!" to the debug console box and it would unlock the full version, usually like $150.

Some people try to call him a patchwork god, like the act of fusing two things into one is somehow new, or unique, or shameful. He hopes they’ve never eaten a peanut butter cup in their short, tormented lifetimes, because if they have, they’ll have some explaining to do when they get to his corner of the afterlife.

I need to do laundry. Instead I am writing a software-based shared-exponent floating point vector implementation that I have no practical use for at all

I've decided to fight injustice by stealing any outdoor infrastructure that isn't wheelchair accessible. For the moment it's more of an aspiration, though — so far I haven't taken any concrete steps.

oh no
there are coroutines

The carbon footprint of a single Bitcoin transaction easily exceeds the per passenger carbon footprint of a direct flight from New York to London.

On top of that the average e-waste generation per Bitcoin transaction is also equivalent to throwing away an iPad.

I decided to make a calculator app, except I'm doing it on pico-8 so that's gonna be interesting.

I got the last 4 letters of PEMDAS down so far!

I have found myself in the _most bizarre_ conundrum today my friends, where i bought a second copy of Samurai Warriors 2 for Xbox 360, because my first copy doesn't work anymore for some reason, even though the disc looks totally fine and we gave it a good clean a while ago. …

… Only to find the second copy can't be read either!!

My X360 reads every other game I've thrown at it just fine – installed games, games from the disc, original Xbox games, discs in much worse condition than these ones. And I've tried both of my copies of SW2 on a different Xbox 360 and they don't work there either.

I can't just keep buying X360 copies of SW2 until one works. And we do have the PS2 version (and Xtreme Legends) if I want to play it that badly.

But this is just _so weird._ There's nothing visually wrong with either of the discs, and as far as I can tell the other PS2-era musou games I have on X360 work fine. Very strange situation.
