Could try running TinyCore Linux (Or DSL Classic) and connecting it to the 'net.

I still have a Win 3.11 box (486+16MB RAM) with TCP/IP and a Base10 ISA ethernet card that I use to poke the internet and chat on IRC one in a while...

IRC on an old machine just feels *right* and idk why... it's home

It goed good

I'm excited that I finished one of my 5 classes (it was an accelerated 8 week course) with another A grade so I've maintained my 4.0 GPA

I also got another grant which will help me pay off debt/save money for studying abroad next year (providing this French university accepts me)

It might still be considered a roundabout, in a roundabout way.

Bon travail! :)

Vous n'avons pas regardé Kill la Kill? O:

Est-ce que vous avez regardé Gurren Lagann? C'est crée du même studio.

(désolé pour le mal français, j'apprends encore mais je veux pratiquer. J'espère que ce n'est pas une problème...)

Looking great :) Keep up the good work.

I've been trying to get into a better mental space myself. I've got a lot of stress recently with work/school/life balance and it's tearing me up. But I'm making it too.

Have a wonderful day 😊

Sigh.... Rant over. I just wish I was as motivated as I was when I was a child. Sometimes dreams come true but my dream of being a game developer was crushed long ago.

Bummer.

Don't give up on your dreams, kids.

Every once in a while I get the itch. I feel like creating again, really putting my back into it like old times, but for real this time. But then I remember I'm old and technology has left me in the dust. What am I going to do, whip something up in BASIC or Fusion or RPG Maker and try to release it?

A lot of my online footprint from when I was a teen coding random garbage games is lost to the ether and it's sad. Games I developed like my Mystery Dungeon clone "Blob Dungeon", my space shooter "ABLE", my arcade "There Are Robots" shooter, and various platformers I whipped up are just gone...

I'm excited about the end coming up and honestly it's really taking me back to 2005-2007 for me, when I was happily grinding away making RPG Maker games on GamingW dot net and Ultima Island, doing week-long or weekend game jams, and it makes me sad that very little of that stuff exists now.

You know, Glenn, I've followed you on here ever since you posted on the "Texas 200" FB group that you were leaving for this platform (a great choice btw), and I'm so glad that I did.

Every time I see you post or repost something here I'm delighted that someone in this world still has a brain.

Glad you're here, Wes. :)
