You are no doubt aware of M.C. Escher's "Hand with Reflecting Sphere", a self-portrait of the artist as seen while holding a reflecting sphere. In 2002 Mark VandeWettering took the image and "unwrapped" it to produce a cube map.

Tag Team, back again
Check it to wreck it, let's begin
Party on, party people, let me hear some noise

Nostalgia 2 for Doom 2 has been released: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/140274-nostalgia-2-rc1-32-maps-doom-2-format-limit-removing/
"Nostalgia 2 is a set of 32 limit removing maps for Doom 2. Much like the original the focus is on modern map design slathered with a layer of old school paint, but now expanded on with the CC4 resource pack and new episode themes."

Google killing off their basic HTML version of Gmail due to basic HTML not including 'full feature functionality' seems like code for 'we don't make ad revenue off this version'.

We relied on the basic HTML version while doing arctic fieldwork in 2017 using low bandwidth satellite internet. Gone were extraneous graphics and junk ads getting served - just mail. It's also no longer possible to auto sort messages in the full version without enabling tracking to serve ads.

Everything..

Anyway the single moment of greatest joy I have experienced this summer was when I discovered the Atari 2600 core for the Analogue Pocket will happily open *any* file, such as ROMs for other systems, and attempt to execute it on the assumption it is an Atari 2600 ROM, invariably leading to a 200-ms-to-3-second loop of bizarre blocking pixel noise and glitch sounds

PSA: PLEASE SHARE! If you pickle or preserve food, safe pickling requires at least 5% acidity. This is the first year you CANNOT just go grab a gallon of distilled vinegar - it’s only 4% and you will waste a lot of food thinking it’s shelf stable.

This is much deeper than your typical bumper sticker.
