@Homebrewandhacking tbh I have no idea who any of those are; I kind of know about Fisto, but only because Fisto became the butt of several jokes within my online circles.

@foone ah, Jixxa, the puzzle game present on all kinds of "desktop accessory" packs.

I think there's even a copy on the Duke 3D Atomic Edition CD

@ifixcoinops yup - very good reason why no kid of the 80s remembers anything HB put out in the 80s outside of He-Man (and even then: who remembers anybody *in* He-Man besides He-Man and Skeletor?)

@jplebreton we'd have that forever, if only the government would quit stalling on abolishing the "fall-back" part πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@winampskins Wow, a "fancy hi-fi" skin that really drives home how bad the glare was on those fancy glossy displays.

@jhavard I'd think theoretically you could make chatgpt speak too, with use of a screen reader, but modern TtS just dives head-first into the uncanny valley and I like it better when it's really obviously artificial.

CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.

Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.

All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at acropalypse.app/

Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

a message about anyone "othered" by society 

I found this a long while ago, and it rings true every time I read it.. everyone who is othered by society has to be much more careful about our actions and words less we give "proof" that doesnt exsist.

A new recovery thanks to Retroboy - an unfinished and early bullfighting game for the #C64 called 'La Venganza del Toro'. Added today into the GTW64 archives, which you can check out for yourselves at gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/la-v

Enjoy and Happy Friday!

@osxthemes seemingly less gold, more... Marshmallow Peeps.

8/10 would gladly stick it in a microwave and watch it puff up. Or something.
