Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? yyzkevin's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. https://www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/
Both the Sound Blaster and CD-ROM emulation on the PicoGUS originally came from this ambitious project so it's awesome seeing it get close to done!
good morning. last night i dreamed about a lot of things, including some bizarre new star trek spin-offs about Data being in places where Data should not be, but the most that I remember was that I was attempting to make French bread pizzas in a toaster oven through the whole thing, and kept getting the sauce everywhere and dropping the bread on the ground.

polling dual-pane file manager usage/awareness on fedi:
@jplebreton i cannot go without my Norton layout. Volkov Commander on DOS, FreeCommander on Windows, Dolphin in split-pane mode on KDE (and Midnight Commander in terminal).
Was enlightened to a Windows one yesterday called File Pilot that seems quite promising. It's missing the Norton key-binds (I use F5/F6 for copy/move to opposite pane, a lot) but it's quite snappy in all other respects.
https://wildweasel.itch.io/set-the-controls - a couple of days ago I had the opportunity to join a 2-hour MegaZeux game jam, which I haven't done in a very long time. In those 2 hours I produced this short narrative game.

Past couple of days i've been enjoying a few PC ports of N64 games:
- Perfect Dark: https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/perfect_dark
- Majora's Mask: https://github.com/Zelda64Recomp/Zelda64Recomp
- Super Mario 64 (now with coop!): https://sm64coopdx.com
What these all have in common is that they're reverse engineered "place your ROM in a subdir and we'll handle the rest" ports with great modern PC game options/menus and other such amenities. Super nice! The way it should be done.

Tiny channel with just a handful of videos at the moment, but the way she explains grammar points is so well done that I want to share it with others who are interested in learning Japanese.
A lot of the time you’re just given a couple of examples and told “have at them” without having a deeper understanding of how the nuances actually work.
Learning the actual reasons behind the various usages instead of getting a basic translation which doesn’t even work in many cases is so much more helpful.
@Tijn i made the mistake of wanting to write about 50 games, and it took me over a week of just poking at the blurbs to get relatively even amounts of words into them. ...and i still somehow wrote way more about the fan-run Simpsons Tapped Out server than I did anything else.
a very harpy gnoll yard to you all

speaking of which:
I had some mastodon bots on the now-dead botsin.space. Can anyone suggest anywhere else I could put some daily-to-hourly mastodon bots, either plain text or with (small) images?

Do you remember using Microsoft Comic Chat? To this day Mermaid Liz apparently still does! Her website http://mermeliz.com is a large archive, tribute, and memorial to the program and it's community. It archives many addons/characters.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Cat Samurai Blanket. That fish lived without honor and died a coward's death. His death will be celebrated for generations.

whoever said that prog works better if you take it rectally, please explain that to the medical team that just spent three hours extracting the dark side of the moon from my backside
Someone on Bluesky was daring people to "name 50 good indie games you bought that came out this year" - well, I can't afford new games, so instead, here's 50 good (and slightly less good) games I played this year regardless of when they came out.
