the tasks that matter:
- unloading dishwasher? โŽ
- rolling trash bins back to the house? โŽ
- digging out all of my music CDs and compiling an action playlist for my OG Xbox, track by track? โœ…

bonus points if you know exactly which songs some of these are since i labeled them very lazily (lack of USB keyboard port really hurts here)

Mistodon: OK, we've flip-flopped from nice to lousy weather so we get to retire the "mow your lawn" banner and instead bring out Joninscii's #ASCIIart #umbrella -- which itself seems unsure whether it'll be needed or not. (Regardless, the rain will feed the grass and ensure that further mowing is required. You can't win!) This piece was included in the recent MIST0223 artpack collection.

Update to ModOhFun, nothing really new, just a ton of converting monster decorate to Zscript to fix a bug.
Really tedious and boring work, and at this point I'm sick of editing it, lol.

Appliance manufacturers please investigate the switches that mechanical keyboard nerds obsess over, they're a very standardized form factor, like a buck apiece and will last Absolutely Forever. Take the switch that I use to type the letter "A" a couple thousand times a day and put that switch where you put the flaky membrane crap that tells my dishwasher "go" and I'll pay you an extra fifty bucks just for that.

I donโ€™t know whether itโ€™s me getting older or the Internet getting olderโ€” but things feel significantly less silly now. Everything is very produced, yet sterile. Everything only exists if it can make money. If it canโ€™t, it either doesnโ€™t get made or dies off.

There was a magical time where it seemed everyone thought this was all experimental. Things were made because they were fun to make. That experimental nature gave us all permission to be weird. Now, it seems, everyone strives for โ€œnormal.โ€

My book *Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the Internet* is now available in audiobook form in North America, narrated by me. (It was already available in paperback and ebook form in most of the world.)

To celebrate, I've published an excerpt from Chapter 10, DOOM, on my newly-minted blog. https://sharewareheroes.com/doomed.html

Winning a hand of "Fortune's Foundation" in the Zachtronics Solitaire Collection will give you a fortune based on the last Major Arcana card that got sent to the piles.

This particular one comes at a time when I've been seriously thinking about taking a long vacation to Do Nothing. Y'know... it has a point.

it took me 4 years to find this video again, and add it to my #ultima history archive. ๐Ÿ˜“

buried deep in the unsearchable bowels of youtube, is former Origin lead designer (of Crusader: No Remorse fame) Mark Vittek's hour-long video of the last day of Origin Systems as we knew it.

the first half hour is a drunken and disorderly house party at starr long's...

... it is proceeded (@36m00s) by an exceedingly rare look at the OSI offices, the day its new in-development projects like UO2 were all cancelled by EA.

while the studio would exist as a servicing body for #UltimaOnline expansion until 2004, Richard Garriott and the entire creative staff would go elsewhere after the cancellations

I feel like every person born before 1980 has a baby photo of them being bathed in a kitchen sink and I have a theory that most of it stopped when people got dishwashers and realized it was a much more convenient way to clean their children.
