Had a strange dream where I was hanging out at the home of an esteemed indie game dev, and he told me, "one moment" and left briefly. When he came back, he dropped several magazines and sealed letters in front of me - sent to his address, but with my name on them, postmarked 2006.

All of them had to do with a "fake" Classic Mac OS "digital athletics" game called NOTAS, purported to be from 1991. Page ads, letters, making-of features, about an Olympics game that resembled a Virtual Boy game.

i actually have this screencap printed out (with subtitle) on a 3x5 photo paper, tacked to what I call my "go out and be an adult" shelf. It's where I hang my house keys, masks, and (until last year) work badge.

This was me, last Monday. (Or would have been, if I had a pink bunny-suit-guy buddy. I very much _did_ get my taxes done.)

somebody sent me a photo of "advertising is the graffiti of the rich" written on a wall, and I'm honestly having trouble coming up with anything truer

We’re still recovering at the Disk Doctor so while we wait, please enjoy this 90s fueled design of the #SyQuest 88MB cartridge case. It’s *chefs kiss*

@mavica_again for android, i've been using soundhound; this isn't really an endorsement because it's slow, loaded with ad banners, and has a vested interest in selling you streaming service subs, but it decidedly isn't shazam, so.

Mastodon for Apple II, version 1.14.0, is released! It provides a big performance improvement on the serial bandwidth, all the way to 115,200bps. This is especially visible for loading images!

this is one of the harder puzzles we've done recently...

thinking about the time I ordered out for lunch, and my order was signed off by "d uwu". Some absolute meme-lord works at this restaurant and I salute them.

I'm stalling on updating the Golfshrine website. These examples aren't uninteresting, and it's not like i have nothing to say about them. Just updating the website is a pain. Currently researching ways it can be made easier or more entertaining.

Maybe i should install Frontpage for Mac? Though I'd also have to struggle with how to upload the result...

@androidarts Various Lemmings, the plant things from Waxworks, the giant ants from It Came From The Desert, maybe we could stretch the definition of "monster" and include SWOS players or Valhalla's Lord of Infinity...

@androidarts An Amiga flavored take on Dragon Quest would be fascinating to see. Hell, I want a DQ style RPG where most of the monsters are based on those wild and grotesque fantasy paintings one usually saw in demo scene productions, like Hardwired.

I have round cards, dog bone cards, donut cards, pizza slice cards, VW Minibus cards...

...but the shaped cards I'm the happiest to own is a trio I call the Extra Value Meal. Burger, fries, and a Coke.

Weird-shaped playing cards are fun. I must find weirder ones.
