Continuing my Price is Right watch and I'm just somewhat fascinated by this TV dinner that's literally just two Salisbury steaks and french fries.

Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.

Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

Don't mind me, just enjoying one of my favorite 3DS games

I am so sick of people playing the tuba incorrectly.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Our billionaire is better than your billionaire.

Mastodon: You actually don't need a billionaire at all.

Threads, Twitter, and Bluesky: Hold on, we have to ask our billionaire if that's true.

Some cool images I found today

These were made on Amiga computers back in the day by various artists.

It's great to know that Tech Noir survived not only all the trials of the 20th century economy, but even the Judgement Day itself.

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"

This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

Internet Archive now has a menstruation information and history library, since we now live in a world with Florida bill 1069, which bans the mention of periods before sixth grade in Florida public schools.

Library is universally available:

A question being googleable does not mean it's automatically okay to insult someone for asking it.

(3/3)

One interesting tidbit about this game: it uses a 16-color high resolution CGA(!)/ASCII mixed graphics mode, using a squished ASCII character set for additional graphics. Reportedly not all IBM compatibles were compatible enough to display this!

Also shout outs to the manual which went into great detail about the myth of Osiris and ancient Egypt itself, and how their beliefs (or what we know about them) affected parts of the gameplay: https://mocagh.org/sir-tech/7spiritsra-manual.pdf

Game 111: Seven Spirits of Ra (1987), by Sir-Tech.

Pharaoh Osiris isn't having a great day. Not only is he slain by his brother Set, his corpse is cut up and different animals ate the pieces. Now his body is like the many variations of this myth: all over the place.

In this version Osiris uses his 7 remaining spirits to hunt the beasts that ate him so he can restore his body plus gain the ability to transform into them, allowing you to fly or crawl through narrow passages.

@grumpygamer open source classic overhead shooter, #CDogsSDL

https://cxong.github.io/cdogs-sdl/

Was a freeware DOS game from 1997-2001, open sourced and I’ve been maintaining since 2013

One of the unusual features is that it can read wolfenstein 3d data, so if you have that installed via steam or gog, you can play through that whole game but overhead instead of first person

So now I can talk about it: we're working with Cyan to digitize their video archives! Over 100+ hours of footage from the making of the Myst series.

We're SO excited about this project. Please help a little with our expenses if you can!
