I finally actually watched the original RoboCop last night, a movie almost exactly as old as I am. Its status as a classic was never in question. I thought the Jesus-allegory reading was a little strange, but then I noticed nearly every time Robo busts through a door, he's got the God rays shining on him through it.

All that playing of Chibi-Robo and its sequels sparked me to write a few thousand words to my Blaugh about chore games, whimsy, and when appealing to the masses may be the most boring thing you can do.

this was my favorite design, referencing the most ~~cursed~~ efficient way to pack 17 squares.

It seems U-95 for Windows 3.1 is virtually unknown to the English-speaking internets?

I feel most people know the Netherlands is mostly below sea level and there are some dikes to keep the water out, but I'm not sure if people appreciate just how far it goes.

Like... they've turned a sea into a lake. They've reclaimed so much land an entirely new province was formed.

This is pretty bonkers stuff really when you think about it!

so what if double hi-res Apple II Peasant's Quest were a thing?

I'm just messing around here, doing the game in dhgr would take up twice as much RAM/disk and be 100x more difficult to program.

i kind of want a full-metal keyboard. maybe parkerized gunmetal. i'm sure it would be heavy as shit. i'm sure the switches would need to be extra stiff. it'd probably cost fuck-hundred dollars. but i think about brushed metal textures and the want comes right back.
