concept: a "magic academy" type of story that pointedly focuses on students in their late 20s and older. a remedial magic school perhaps. turns out it's really not a great idea to teach magic to kids, no matter how safe an environment it is, there have been too many fatalities as a result of overstepping the bounds of reality without fully understanding reality in the first place. put em through regular school first, THEN we can talk about the magic one

thank you, @PrintShopDeluxe , i've created something horrible and want the world to know about it. 🀣

So this just showed up (again?) on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/249

And I'm not sure if it's finally kosher or if Person Once Known As HardDisk Productions still has pull over it. Its listed publisher is Strategy First, for some reason (their website doesn't acknowledge it but who knows when that was last updated). I wonder if @dosnostalgic knows anything about it yet.

Added Dragon Master to the Death Generator. This is a 1994 arcade fighting game, with a relatively small cast, clearly inspired by Street Fighter II.
I made it as a gift to bison2winquote, a tumblr user who posts fighting game dialog.

If you sell goods online:

Stop using the words β€œyour package has shipped” when you actually mean β€œwe’ve printed a label”. They’re two different things.

Anybody confused why people still listen to turntables or CD players forget that they never:

- stop working because they can't connect to WiFi
- stop working because they need a firmware update
- stop working because the manufacturer dropped support
- say "if you like Bach you might like Taylor Swift"
- play ads
- recommend "turntable premium"

Skimming through random midi files from years old downloads and found this one that has... lyrics.

it's an instrumental song from a video game.

Got invited to join the Video Game History Foundation's podcast this week, talking about my "first CD-ROM game" blog post from the other week. Chatting with Phil was a lot of fun, hope you enjoy listening!

Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.

Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.

These are built-in features of the browser now.

STOP USING CHROME

anyway i just played mario paint for achievements and had auto screenshots enabled

re: last boost - the light mode/dark mode thing is one of those things that makes me seriously miss when operating systems had some degree of OPTIONS YOU CAN SET for color schemes, themes, etc.

nothing lets you do that anymore and that's just a shame, at best you get an "accent color" and a light/dark toggle that not everything even respects
