I actually still mess with diskettes on a fairly frequent basis, but it’s more of a hobby thing than a serious use thing

HAARPposting: First as farce, then as tragedy

So Long, Astoria.

For anyone who actually wants a sequel for some reason, Konami made a NES game that’s pretty solid.

Rocky Linux 2

Assigned System/370 Operator At Birth

I miss the mountains of the Northwest. There’s something that remains really weird to me about how flat my stretch of the Great Lakes are, even 20 years on.

I can’t blame them for not understanding the significance of human communications infrastructure, but I wish they wouldn’t set up camp in poorly tended mailboxes. Granted, ants are worse about this by some distance. (I’ve also had to deal with small birds while delivering)

All things considered, though, they’re cool if you give them an appropriate berth

If blocking ads means they lose out, then i’m fine with them losing out

The gutting of the humanities and other things generally written off as “frivolous” kind of terrified me. There’s something that feels distinctly wrong about these attempts at destroying and anyone that even might turn an introspective gaze on society itself. Like they don’t want anything that might foster self-awareness accessible to the layman.

Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

♫ Half-Life: Alyx OST - “Thirty Seven After Six”

Honestly one of these days I’d like to see one of these doohickeys be an actual refresh of the original hardware. Not really an economical or low-effort angle to take, but hell, you can still get Z80 (and their successors) pretty cheap.

I wish I could just keep using a GSM/CDMA phone from 20 years ago indefinitely sometimes.

Didn’t something like this come up a while ago? There was a set of oversized step-like structures on either side of the stairs the guy could’ve taken.

Arcade games 2: but now every game is Double Dragon III

The Simpsons: Hit and Run had a similar gag in one of the maps.

Napster mindset

I always hated how red’s sort of premillenialist mindset facilitates apathy at best and runs cover for complete disregard for human life and good stewardship at worst. Shit everywhere and don’t clean any of it up - the consequences catch up to people? Why, that’s just the end times as foreseen!

Make it look like IRIX, cowards
