I remember this post, it inspired me to mock up my hypothetical impression of "Ski or Don't". I think it's only fair for virtual winter sports enthusiasts to have the option of hanging out in the lodge all afternoon, too.

ha ha, I'm happy to see Geomaquarium going around again! R.I.P. to my old twitter with its original fun thread with lots of people discussing this aesthetic and era of games
Ok, I'm gonna start a little thread here for something I've been doing for fun lately: making designs for things that don't exist.
First up: ah, yes, that classic computer game of the early 90s:

Luna is sick (poor baby, I’ve called the vet), and it’s so cute that she went and curled up next to her sister on purpose. She’s usually more of an independent type who likes the other cat to give her a little space.

A thought I keep coming back to is: for at least 3 or 4 generations, people have been SO primed to want to be Friends With A Robot. Cool and fun idea, even taking into account the cautionary & sinister sci-fi depictions of them. frankly incredible how much popular goodwill to robots has been blown

Just as well I never had kids. Besides, you know, everything about state of the world, they would probably be horrified about how I'm going way out of my way to get an old non-smart TV
