On PLATO, you could press SHIFT-space to move your cursor back one space and then if you typed another character, it would appear on top of the existing character.
Below are just some examples of smileys and emoticons

@mavica_again short of tracking down ancient subversion repos and compiling by hand... yeah πβ
https://youtu.be/GgDxXDV4_hc holy shit this is freaky. i did NOT expect it to make that sound. fucking bizarre the kind of shit that can happen with our modern physics lifehacks like AM radio towers.
this is part of why itβs so buckwild to me that a 200βfoot tower in Alabama just up and disappeared last month. whoever pulled off that heist had to know *exactly* what they were doing for this to not happen to them.
@technomancy this feels like Metal Gear Solid 2 to me; Raiden rattles off all of his VR combat certifications, while Plisken growls something like "some kid who's never seen real combat, that's just great."

Rogue: The Solitaire-Like! I wrote this set of rules for a dungeon-crawling Rogue-like using only a deck of playing cards, some years ago, never fully finishing it. Today I've decided to publish it to itch as a prototype. Feedback (or tips?) encouraged.
@glassbottommeg I mean you have probably the most badass excuse for it possible, who else can say they were "injured in combat" with a smile?
@winampskins This lime seems a bit wiry. π
@mavica_again i dunno, a fix like that seems pretty on-brand for what is basically a holdable bare circuit board with buttons on it π
@jplebreton my favorite scene in the movie "Sneakers" is the one where Dan Aykroyd's character is explaining to Robert Redford that it's no use, they can't enhance the image from their cameras enough to be useful.
That movie does so damn much against Magic Computer Bullshit and I love it.
He/him. Puzzle-Adventure Hybrid with RPG Elements. Supports 3D Acceleration. He Is Essentially What He Believes. Just in case, π, LGBTQ+ π, DOS π, ππ©π.
