Today, I wrote about the updates to Supercut.org, my 15-year-old archive of nearly 600 tightly-edited video remixes. While cleaning up dead/deleted videos, I couldn't help but notice how many Vimeo videos are now gone. Things are bad over there and only getting worse since its acquisition last year.
Waxy Refresh: Supercut.org - Waxy.org
Continuing my series of updating old side projects, I gave Supercut.org a big refresh, plus some notes on the sad state of Vimeo.

Hyper Gunsport is of course available on itch via the hardship fund bundle, but if you're like "what if I could have it on Steam instead?" you are in luck! It's on sale during the Steam Cyberpunk Fest for just $1.99! Get it if you like queer-coded arcade games store.steampowered.com/app/1663250/...
