I feel like posting something else on here and can't remember what I have and have not posted before.
So here is a GIF loop of Tuvok spinning.
@gyro I'd converted a couple of my OCs into yinglet form the other day; between the two, I think Kath (right) would make a good one, while Bastion (left) I mostly did because it does not suit him At All
Let it be known for the record, that for every movie that Everybody Has Seen, there is roughly a 95% chance that I have not actually seen it at all and only know what people are talking about through cultural osmosis.

TIL there was Reflection X for Windows 3.1. This means there were at least 3 X servers for Windows 3.x - XAppeal, Reflection and Xonnet. This isn't NT, because there wasn't Windows NT in Japanese in 1993.

Today was a good day, so I hacked on VisiOn, the first GUI OS for IBM PC that inspired Bill Gates to deliver Windows ASAP. There never were any third-party apps for VisiOn, so I kind of want to make one.
I was thinking about this project for quite some time, but only could devote it a few hours today. It is still very raw, there's no real development happening, just hacking/reverse engineering.
This project is kind of a fun litmus test for permacomputing fantasies: we have a fairly well documented hardware platform, a set of incredible programming tools, but no documentation on a complex bit of software that we really, really want to run. What would it take us to figure it out, ideally without spending multiple years on disassembling 200+ KB of x86 binaries.
I finally actually watched the original RoboCop last night, a movie almost exactly as old as I am. Its status as a classic was never in question. I thought the Jesus-allegory reading was a little strange, but then I noticed nearly every time Robo busts through a door, he's got the God rays shining on him through it.

The SQ Quadraphonic version of Tubular Bells came a with sticker on the front cover that said 'For people with four ears'. The rear cover said 'Store in four dry places'.

All that playing of Chibi-Robo and its sequels sparked me to write a few thousand words to my Blaugh about chore games, whimsy, and when appealing to the masses may be the most boring thing you can do.

I hadn't seen anyone post this yet so here is a late cursed #mechanicon find.
this was my favorite design, referencing the most ~~cursed~~ efficient way to pack 17 squares.
