I wonder what portion of sysadmins and programmers spontaneously start posting on social media in the middle of the night when there's an earthquake

the thing about grouping up in western north carolina is that the weather did try to kill me often (usually with trees), but the ground stayed put. you could count on that.

doom 🤝mario 64: having movement bugs caused by the programmers forgetting that velocities can be negative

I made a weird discovery today: bible-gateway.com, which is the first hit for most bible verses, is now geo-blocking the EU and UK. I'm just baffled at the idea that we're at a point where a bible reference site is blocked by international law

nothing like "why aren't you listening to me" when it is the singular thing you are trying everything in your power to do

maybe bluesky should consider implementing twitch's "emoji only mode" for when a certain person dies. It's not exactly the best solution but it'd mostly solve your impossible moderation problem

I hear that sony is considering buying bluesky and renaming it blu-sky

strongly recommend copping this—levels are fun, voice acting is great & the main gal is too silly

Last day to pick this up!

when i came back home there was a sticker on my door with an ad for a locksmith brother, you want to impress me, put it on the *inside* of the door

Very fun game with a wonderfully cheesy lesbian romance story!! Really worthwhile pickup here!!

Cyberpunk 1977

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

It's #TalkLikeAPirateDay and "Return to Monkey Island" is 70% off! I recently did an achievements playthrough on the game, and it's quite a bit of fun. A really return to what made the first two titles classics! @darmato.bsky.social would agree! store.steampowered.com/app/2060130/...

HIRE TRANS WOMEN YOU FUCKERS

I was thankfully able to meet my main goal thanks to a really kind helper, but any help to bridge the gap would be extremely appreciated as well. I'm hopeful that I could be getting something in the near future and I can get back to some normalcy. Cash $naph71 and Venmo @lennalefay too. Tysm 💛

We added the Internet to our Windows 95 PowerPoint factory game #indiegame #gamedev

look I was just confused about was was on my clipboard, but I just made the funniest mistake: I tried to paste an image into its alt-text

you wanna talk technical debt? I've got a really mean poem that I'm currently unable to write because of the technological limitations of a webshit I made for a shitpost 7 years ago.

we're often asked, "is X a mech," and let me get ahead of the inevitable coin question and say yes but only in one specific instance as follows youtu.be/S69eCfQ4WQE?...

i am working on a software-rendered 3D game for MS-DOS! again! this time i am using the Plush software renderer (from Nullsoft Inc.) as a base and using Quake 3 BSP files to store level geometry. seems like i'll be targeting Pentium 133 territory, maybe higher, depends on how well i can optimize...

We're making an automation game set in Windows 95 about making PowerPoint factories #gamedev #indiegames

He is the Milk Man, and his milk is delicious! Originally based on Fake Man, Milk Man was supposed to be a stand in security guard but something sprung from his circuitry which made him believe he was a Dairy bot instead. #MegaMan #Capcom #Psychonauts

Chibi crew of the Enterprise from Uchusen Magazine Vol. 47, 1989. SD Tasha is great and it's funny seeing early clean-shaven Will.

it's because you're always spooling up that damn FTL drive

Last boost for tonight

RealSound was computer voodoo if you understand the context. PC games of the time made music from deafening beeps that were intended more as system alerts. Access figured out how to play waveforms through that speaker, resulting in music clips and speech before sound cards existed.

Bad Keyboards Thread: So I like to make intentionally bad keyboards, in part because of my unfulfilled blood feud with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, but mainly because I like being a chaos gremlin. Most recently, the Juggling Keyboard: bsky.app/profile/foon...

does bluesky have a secret search operator to let you search your own posts? I tried searching with @foone and from:foone (a la birdsite) but no luck. (trying to find some previously posted bluesky posts without scrolling back 900 pages of reposted shitposts)
