I keep wondering how much worse our country can get, but I am not sure there is a real bottom to this black hole of self-destruction Am I gonna open the news in one year and see "Trump eats clown baby while nude at press conference," and read "'The baby clown was clearly attacking him,' says Noem."

If you enjoyed my posts about Metroid games you might like to learn that I made a fully drawn strategy guide for the original game several years ago. It's free! www.handdrawngameguides.com/free-guides/...

This is a neat game

congrats for minting "the clicktatorship" a bit jealous tbh

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

My kingdom for a nice HDMI monitor with not only speakers (common) but dedicated volume buttons (never made??)

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

If your coding agent hits a brick wall, ask it: "What knowledge would it take for you to make this work perfectly? What is currently unknown?" This is very illuminating and can lay out next steps

Ruin a brand by making one word plural: Fruit by the Feet

I’d play “You” 😁

Timelessly, fiendishly addictive, and what feels like a forerunner to the indie Simulator craze: a fine example of UK microcomputer games spinning a game off the most mundane of premises. And it's so well-crafted and executed. 📺: Trashman, New Generation Software, 1984 (ZX Spectrum)

Okay, I love this

This is immensely nerdy magic.

You know, Benj, I was just messing with an idea in a somewhat similar wheelhose. bsky.app/profile/erni...

Oh my this is fun!

Pandemonium — Gustave Doré

"Point-and-click" started as a camera phrase that was adopted by authors to refer to using a mouse. Suddenly in August 1989 two different magazines described two different games as a "point-and-click adventure."

With Claude Code, I created a text-based mouse GUI that simulates a 1984 Macintosh Drag-drop icons, scrollbars, resizable windows, menus Five working apps: MacWrite, MacPaint, Terminal, Calculator, and Puzzle! Telnet to port 1984 or use the web terminal link below: www.vintagecomputing.com/1984/

What's the German word for when you reach to touch an icon in Carplay Podcast app but suddenly the app UI reloads and places a different show under your finger, making you listen to that instead?

Is there a special technique for avoiding 3D printing filament tangles like this? This has happened twice now and ruined two prints, but interestingly, it was the same spool both times

with nvidia going back to old video cards due to their AI-bubble nonsense, I'd like to remind them that they own 3dfx it's time... for the return of the 3DFX Voodoo!

One of my Least Favorite Things (TM) is when I move my mouse too far on my desktop and something sitting beside it pushes the right mouse button by accident 😁

January 5 1998, Robotron 64 debuted on the N64 in the Americas! Besides having an insane techno/electronica soundtrack....it's one of the few games on the system that allows you to use two controllers simultaneously during single player mode (and it's an awesome way to play!)

I'm not ADHD! I prefer to call myself an "asynchronous thinker" 😜

My daughter has been having trouble waking up on time for school. Her iPhone alarm is too easy to dismiss while asleep. Solution? Pull out my classic Cosmo Time and put it across the room. This thing got me through all my school years 😂

First Monday at work after the holidays and the email inbox is like

It would be cool to designed a 3D printable drone launchpad ledge that you just hang out your window

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

This looks awesome!

After guiding 20 hobby projects through Claude Code over the past two weeks, I am starting to think most people are not going to become unemployed due to AI--they will become busier than ever. Power tools allow more work to be done in less time, and the economy will demand more productivity to match

Polymarket really has become the ultimate place to engage in insider trading on privileged information. I'm not sure we're prepared for what happens when any outcome -- including violent ones -- can be wagered on.

We had a good run

I haven't figured out how to play this as a game but I will say it's a hell of a lot of fun.

so what is the best single report I can read about what happened in Venezuela over the past, uh, 48 hours? that I missed

It’s basically Bad Dudes only we’re the ninjas

Sorry I wasn't following the news for some few moments of blissful holiday-season ignorance...Trump did what?

you don't know me

My wife got me a 3D printer for Christmas and this always happens. It prints maybe the first layer then kind of goes to hell. Any way to fix it?

Good times. 💥 💥 💥
