I don't know where I got this Mac BNC network adapter — probably from one of the CCs I bought around 20 years ago, judging from the PDS connector — but it's kinda interesting. It's got a socket for an FPU for some reason, and there's whatever the hell this component is in U10.

… month I've started mapping the game on graph paper, with the intention of digitising and publishing them on a website. I figure it'd be nice for people who want to get into the game to have an old-school shrine site to be able to reference. I might publish it on Neocities, which seems appropriate.

Over the last few months, I've been playing an old (1993) BBS door game called Arrowbridge. It's a game that's been largely forgotten, but one I loved playing on RaT City back in the '90s. There's not much info online about it, save for a FAQ written by Scott Adams (the good one) so for the last…🧵

Coincidentally watching Taskmaster as you posted that and damned if I don't have to now pause it and watch that!

It's not my absolute favourite game of all time, but I think it's about as close to perfect as it gets.

I'm having a real hard time on level 47. Highest I've been able to get so far is 84%. I feel like I could nail it if I could lock the screen to keep it from scrolling.

This is a big reason why, after over a quarter century of being a Mac user, and nearly two decades of being an iPhone user, I now daily drive Linux on a completely user-serviceable laptop and run Murena's /e/OS on a completely user-serviceable phone.

When I was 6 or 7, my dad had some imported 1/170-scale Macross models. Like every other model, he never actually built any of them. I was obsessed with Robotech and couldn't help but put one together back then. Never painted it or anything, but here it is. Technically the first model I ever built.

For me it's a toss-up: either Iggy Pop in DS9 or Iggy Pop in the 1995 Jim Jarmusch film Dead Man.

Pass.
As far as I can tell it's a t-shirt company that doesn't even have the rights to the game, and they're doing an AI-powered remake? Fuck right off with that
