Santatron 2024 is a brand new game for the Amiga inspired by the classic Robotron. Clear rooms of enemies and saves elves to go to the next level. Just a really solid arcade game and fun excuse to fire up my Amiga emulator (WinUAE). Available as Pay-What-You-Want

despite everything, I (somehow) *still* have this Star Wars Episode VII collectors' color changing spoon, one of three random swag items given to me by a vendor that I bought Lode Runner and a solitaire game from at a game convention.

SATURN TIP YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED: Afraid to change your save battery because you don't want to lose your saves? The Saturn can keep saves while it's on even if there’s no battery in, and it's safe to swap the battery while it's running. Just turn your Saturn on first, then swap the battery without turning it off. Your saves will still be there, safe and sound, and you get another two years of save memory life.

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.

I can't decide if I want to go back to Seattle, specifically, or if I just long for a life closer to where things are happening. Where I don't have to walk half a mile just to get out of the houses and neighborhoods.

How do you sell a game like Tetris?

Different companies had differen answers to this fundamental life question.

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 β€œsingle 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

I've been away from the Doom community for over a year now, so it floored me to learn that my mod from 2012, "Weasel Presents: Terrorists", was awarded a "Missed Cacoward" for this year's Cacowards at Doomworld. No joke, I cried.

Looking back over it, I decided the mod isn't very easy to download as a raw Github repo, so I uploaded a "release" build and also posted it to itch as a pay-what-you-want with a nice page and all that. wildweasel.itch.io/terrorists
