https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/golfswings.html - Going live with a slightly more analytical article for Golfshrine, as I think about how being good at a golf video game is nowhere near the same thing as being good at actual golf.

IT'S HERE!
My in-depth history of "Instant Graphics and Sound" — the little-known text protocol for bringing vector art and music to BBSes — has reached the sad (almost) final chapter: "Legacy".
It begins with a look at two psychedelic pieces from fall 1991 that I consider the artistic pinnacle for IGS.

BOOSTS APPRECIATED!

https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/gsdigital.html - I get a little grumpy-old-man today about digital ownership and whether I actually feel like documenting my disorganized, spread-out library of downloadable golf games.
Whoever's following me from Cohost and misses my fiction: I've been slowly reposting (and updating) some of my stories I wrote for the writing-prompts over here: https://weaselswriting.dreamwidth.org/2024/10/ (and some new stuff besides).

Directing a horror gaming documentary is weird. Sometimes I'm trawling through archival records, other times I'm puzzling out how to craft a compelling story from ~50 interviews. And then there are moments where I'm a digitised Keanu Reaves getting beaten up by flying books. (And I wouldn't have it any other way.)

admitting now that i made WHERE IN THE WORD IS FARMING SANDY EGGO?, a short pseudo-edutainment game about thievery and the deterioration of language for the sake of profit. Play on the DOMINO CLUB itch today:

WordPress sites are being hacked to install malicious plugins that display fake software updates and errors to push information-stealing malware.
Another thing I'd settle for is a dual-playlist player where you can fill out one list with "quiet" tracks and another list with "action" tracks, and just hit a hotkey (or wire up a game script mod?) to shuffle to a track in the opposite list, as the mood dictates.

I own this one, and it's pretty cool. It's one of those desktop toy things that were popular in the 90s - specifically, it’s a *creation* tool for them. Turns out the cat is also one of the demo mascots. Meet Ribbon-chan

Somebody should make a standalone media player where you can load two songs up, they play in sync, and you hit a button to crossfade between them, so you can listen to stuff like Fire Emblem's two-part battle tracks or the soundtrack to the Flash game Continuity the way they function in game
