My brain at 1:30 AM: "What was the name of that obscure, terrible FMV game whose discs PC Gamer said would have been better utilized for John Tesh music?" The answer: Mode (technically, [MODE]) and @emmfoolery.bsky.social has already streamed it: youtu.be/iWv9qgcHhEU?...

Hey y'all, God just came to me in a vision and he says the only people who aren't getting into Heaven - literally the only ones - are the creators of VeggieTales.
The Germanic ancestor of ‘thing’ and its cognates, such as German ‘Ding’ and Danish ‘ting’, meant “folk assembly”. The Latin ancestor of the Romance words for “thing”, such as French ‘chose’ and Spanish ‘cosa’, meant “legal case”. My infographic shows how their meanings shifted to “matter; thing”.
After four days of bruteforcing and spending over $900, the FULL version of FFVII Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode has been preserved by @yuvi.app! The game's SD card data, which it fully relies on, remained encrypted until now. Despite being 9MB, the game contains cutscenes and voice acting.
I was never a big fan of describing something as a good Game Pass game, but……sometimes something is a good public library game

I'll end with one of my favorite representations of Odysseus: as a fat, naked man sailing on a raft made of wine amphoras. It's a comic piece from Thebes We think of these myths as serious, epic stories. And they were. But not always. Sometimes they were just funny /end

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
I was talking to a friend about weird things that got people fired. Years ago I worked IT. 90's 1. Guy downloaded 100's of songs to his desktop, shared them on the network. Desktops slowed to a crawl. We cleared it off, reprimanded him & told him not to do again. He did it 2 more times & got fired.
Part of my writing process is getting major plot points down on paper, moving them around, and literally seeing what works. It allows for so much flexibility! And better yet, it’s fun, too. #booksky
I was a big fan of DosBox Staging. Some cool unique features and modern development practices. Unfortunately, the project lead has recently gone all in on AI and is saying stuff like "AIs would be more fair/neutral than a human". Yikes. I can no longer recommend their fork at all. What a shame.
Remember Epic's original Unreal game? Some mad man going by the handle Green Screen remade it in CGA. 😵 How? By turning it into a Myst-like adventure. Get it at unrealcga.com. (It's also now listed on DOSGames.com but it's almost 800mb + you need the original Unreal ...) #dosgames #dosgaming
You guys can just hang out and do nothing and then once every hour or so one of you can say “Christopher Nolan, bro” and the other one can be like “yeah man” And that alone will help
