@mavica_again Mmm, treat fish. Kinda looks like one of those Haribo gummy sharks but made of toothpaste. 😜
Thanks to some hot tips here from Misty De Méo of cdrom.ca - I have added the Pioneer LaserActive's two game PACs, and a handful of other things, to the No Golf List. https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/nogolflist.html
@jplebreton the times i wish we lived in a world where "eggbux" could have actually happened. 😞
Sharp X68000's Human68k operating system has the most pleasant background colour for its desktop. instead of going with harsh (255, 255, 255) white, it uses a much more pleasant off-white (208, 192, 176) that comes from the orange segment of the palette.
A version of Missile Command for the Commodore 64 where the bottom of your screen is the game state in memory and missiles cause memory corruption, which eventually causes you to lose: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=135463.
In the video below, a missile broke my controls and caused my cursor to move down and to the left so I couldn't stop other missiles.
@foone time to install OTVDM? nothing shall stand between you and your One Thousand Free Hours
it's fascinating how more boring, less creative and interactive, computing has been for the past 20 years. we used to be able to do this sort of thing (send quick doodles without having to open up 2-3 separate programs) in MSN messenger for crying out loud. now we're pocketing supercomputers that can barely open up and share an image without going through contrived pipelines

i am only still a member of moderation in one place on the internet - a discord server for a small gaming publication. there are times now that i feel ashamed of having such a visible role, even if my presence has been nothing but good for that server.
after last year? it makes me feel like a target. sure, i haven't had death threats, i haven't been doxxed (yet). but there are people i can't talk to ever again, places i don't dare show my face. and i know the internet is a small place.
i always used to believe that the enforcement needed to be "users first" - they needed presence, they needed to be helpful in things besides arguments and literally illegal activities, build the trust with the normally-privileged user base by being good citizens. of course, reputation has a way of tanking when it's one mistake.
far be it from me to say that 4chan had the right idea for *anything*, but maybe keeping the mod staff's identities heavily under wraps has its advantages in the 2020s.
