Another person criticized me for promoting my Patreon. Let me put this into perspective. People spent $74.6 million to see the 2019 film Cats in theaters. At the current rate, it would take 34,158 years for my project to bring in as much money as Cats. I like to think Low Quality Facts provides at least as much entertainment value as Cats, a film which one critic described as "The worst thing to happen to cats since dogs".
In conclusion, here's my Patreon:

Important reminder, if you own a domain name and don't use it for sending email.

There is nothing to stop scammers from sending email claiming to be coming from your domain. And the older it gets, the more valuable it is for spoofing. It could eventually damage your domain's reputation and maybe get it blacklisted, unless you take the steps to notify email servers that any email received claiming to come from your domain should be trashed.

Just add these two TXT records to the DNS for your domain:
TXT v=spf1 -all
TXT v=DMARC1; p=reject;

The first says there is not a single SMTP server on earth authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. The second says that any email that says otherwise should be trashed.

If you do use your domain for sending email, be sure to add 3 records:
SPF record to indicate which SMTP server(s) are allowed to send your email.
DKIM records to add a digital signature to emails, allowing the receiving server to verify the sender and ensure message integrity.
DMARC record that tells the receiving email server how to handle email that fails either check.

You cannot stop scammers from sending email claiming to be from your domain, any more than you can prevent people from using your home address as a return address on a mailed letter. But, you can protect both your domain and intended scam victims by adding appropriate DNS records.

How do you sell a game like Tetris?

Different companies had differen answers to this fundamental life question.

Below we have that from Bullet Proof Software in Japan, Mirrorsoft in the UK, and Atari Games in the US.

every once in a while i stumble across a great DS title at a thrift store

today’s find was Club House Games - a relatively early title that took advantage of the DS’s architecture

one criminally underrated and underused DS feature is “single card download play” - which lets you play against other DS players who *do not* a copy of the card themselves. it wirelessly transmits the game to them for ad hoc competitions.

i love that the first owner of this bought it at a local Zellers. 😎 how i miss your vinyl offgassing shoe aisles and $3 PC bargain bins

Lord help me I'm mucking about with the death generator again

To celebrate #Doom's 31st anniversary, here's the ENDOOM (#textmode end screen) I did in 2023 for "Perdition's Gate Resurgence", a PWAD with an Ancient Egypt theme that, as of this writing, is almost done. You can find the development thread here on Doomworld: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/94851-perditions-gate-resurgence-alpha-available-for-testing/

It has always blown my mind how Pinball Fantasies is able to play music and sound effects through a PC speaker (no sound card).

Things that aged... Grrrrreeat. #RifaMadness #rifacapacitor
