Went outside to smoke, shut the door, turned around and found myself face to face with a coyote.
He skidded in his tracks into a sit, did a 180 on his haunches, claws skittering on the cement, and LAUNCHED himself down the street, clipping his rump against my partner's car and setting off its alarm which set off MY car's alarm, and then the garage floodlight turned on, which turned on the NEIGHBOR'S lights.
All in a span of less than five seconds.
I witnessed a moment of pure, unadulterated chaos, leaving me with a deeper understanding of the animations of Scooby Doo and Wil E Coyote.

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.
