If you're the type that likes to use those 88x31 buttons to link to stuff, I threw one of those together, too.

I made a website today, by installing Microsoft FrontPage 98 on a 26-year-old laptop. And that website is about golf simulators. Well, more specifically, that website is about two bookshelves that contain golf simulators.

Get to know the Golfshrine at netizen.club/~wildweasel - retro browsers welcomed!

@TonicBH then you'd have a fourzi, and at least one person asking whether that's four uzis worth of uzi or if that's an xbox racing game

This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.

@loadhigh Soleau Software put out a lot of little puzzle games, most fairly unremarkable but a good amount of them actually fairly clever. All of them, even well into the 90s, ran in safe video modes and had minimal system requirements. Bolo Ball was always a hoot.

@loadhigh I guess if it worked for William Soleau... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

open source projects should have anti-acknowledgments, i.e. "project is kept maintained despite the best efforts of the xenophobe [name] that kept harassing the lead developers"

had the honour of drawing this piece that takes up a BIG wall in the new GiGO Shibuya building in Tokyo, which houses a Fangamer Japan retail store! I think it's going to be up for a year. Go check it out if you're in Japan!

We were exactly one day off, this year, from having Approximated Pi Day on Friday. Alas, this Friday is 21/7, not 22/7 - maybe in another few years.

@loadhigh The remake touches virtually nothing about the game, it controls the same (just as smooth), just spruces up the visuals a tad, and adds some nice Roland grooves to the title screen. ๐Ÿ˜

If you remember the Usborne books as fondly as I do, you'll be glad to know that they are available for free on their site at:

The one I'm typing from is "Write your own adventure programs for your microcomputer".

Bubsy 3D is many things, but is it... aesthetic? Great video from Joyless, who I don't think is on Mastodon: youtube.com/watch?v=8BYo_OKvmD

I should clarify that either way, I'm absolutely someone with odd musical tastes.

Nelward is one of my favorites, I've spent entire days just listening to this on repeat. It's a space you can just exist in. The space is stinky and smells like cheese, but like, fancy cheese. open.spotify.com/track/4abRyDs

If you are horrified by the Web Environment Integrity proposal by Google (#DRM for ads), stop using Chrome and switch to Firefox and block ads everywhere.

The only eyeballs left for Google to show ads are the ones protected by ad blockers. Thatโ€™s the highest growth opportunity they have, and we cannot let them have it.
