update: doing some image searching through Google Chrome has found me the actual car:

The All-Cars Charly Camel.

Cute little thing, isn't it

I saw an... interesting three-wheeled car on The Price is Right and now I've been trying to find *any* info about it to no avail.

Unless this went by another name besides the "Mikart Baby"...

I'm SUPER excited to announce the launch of Rad Reader! 🤩

A calm tool (Linux & Windows; 6MB & Electron-free!) for reading and following RSS feeds. I've been working on this for the past months during spare time and it's my first journey in making something polished enough to sell!

To celebrate its launch the price is reduced to 4.95 USD (34% off) for the rest of the week! If that feels like a lot, please try the free demo!!

Boosts very much appreciated!

So I downloaded a whole bunch of free or pay-what-you-want Game Boy games off itch.io for my Game Dad. They're all made with GB Studio (which is a free super-easy game-making program to make Game Boy games) and so far they're all pretty chill.

A highlight is Analog Age Rainy Day, which has you playing as a kid trying to survive a rainy day; catch is it's 1984 so there's no phones or game boy or anything so you've gotta find ways to amuse yourself.

A lovely benefit of using the Game Dad for Game Boy games is the ability to shift the palette so that it's red-on-black for playing in bed without giving me insomnia. It only works for Game Boy games though, not Game Boy Colour or Advance; I wish this were an option I could toggle in Retroarch for all my games.

I'm getting into the idea of writing my own Game Boy game and I think I want to make it about a tiny smol officeboy/retailboy who gets laid off and joins a moving company to make a bit of quick cash, and finds that he loves using his body and feeling those aches and becoming stronk. And like this is possible now, it's very do-able to make a game that isn't about saving the world or whatever, doesn't have to have mass appeal enough to justify burning a bunch of ROMs and moulding a bunch of cartridges, you can chuck it up on the internet as easily as we could copy a tape game in a boombox thirty years ago and if ten people fall in love with it then Hooray.

one quote that haunts me every day.

"i was so shocked to learn in the research that the opposite of belonging is fitting in.

because fitting in is assessing a group of people and thinking 'who do i need to be? what do i need to say? what do i need to wear? how do i need to act?' and changing who you are.

and true belonging never asks us to change who we are.
it demands that we be who we are.

because if we fit in because of how we changed ourselves that's not belonging."

Windows XP build 2210, from 2nd March 2000, is the earliest available build of a 64-bit edition of Windows. Designed for DEC Alpha, it predated Intel Itanium, which XP would eventually support. Its boot screen is notably just Windows 2000’s with “64” crudely spray painted on top.

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:
