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.

@mavica_again short of tracking down ancient subversion repos and compiling by hand... yeah πŸ˜”β€‹

i wish it was easier on linux to grab shit-old emulators that have piss-poor accuracy but can run on your grandma's 486. rolling releases are great for support until all of the software it brings needs a quadcore with fuck-you ram

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 it’s so buckwild to me that a 200‐foot 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."

"hmm, maybe i should bike to the store tomorrow," i say, and within minutes it begins raining hard enough to hear through the roof

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?

@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 😁

Job hunting continues to be the most demoralizing and emotionally damaging thing in the world.

I need fluffy pets. Anybody got those?

@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.

edit, of every CSI SVU etc scene where a cop says "enhance!" to a computer screen, that replaces that dialog with "make some shit up!"
