If you remember the Usborne books as fondly as I do, you'll be glad to know that they are available for free on their site at:

The one I'm typing from is "Write your own adventure programs for your microcomputer".
Bubsy 3D is many things, but is it... aesthetic? Great video from Joyless, who I don't think is on Mastodon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BYo_OKvmDo
I should clarify that either way, I'm absolutely someone with odd musical tastes.
Nelward is one of my favorites, I've spent entire days just listening to this on repeat. It's a space you can just exist in. The space is stinky and smells like cheese, but like, fancy cheese. https://open.spotify.com/track/4abRyDsuAIyrxjdpeuWrpP?si=Qr0qcnxRTVabaStrA7J9jA
If you are horrified by the Web Environment Integrity proposal by Google (#DRM for ads), stop using Chrome and switch to Firefox and block ads everywhere.
The only eyeballs left for Google to show ads are the ones protected by ad blockers. That’s the highest growth opportunity they have, and we cannot let them have it.

Game 126: Oil's Well (1984), by John Rinck & Thomas Mitchell.
The world hungers for oil but getting the white globules it's contained in is dangerous work, Earth's subterranean creatures protect them fiercely.
The petroleum industry's solution? Put Pac Man on a big pipe and push him down the mines where he can freely eat both oil and creature, and retract the pipe when enemies come close to touching to it.
But don't forget that time is money so you need to work fast.
I got the Women of NASA Lego set and recreated my favorite photo of all time. #lego #NASA #MargaretHamilton
Why does every project have the trajectory of:
“oh yay, I got it working!”
“Hmm but I could polish it just a little…”
“Why in the hell do I have to write my own parser for text in the clipboard from scratch? What the fuck kind of plaintext standard removes the line breaks?! I need those, you bastards! Every single person on the W3C is now on my list, may god have mercy on them BECAUSE I WILL NOT.”
