You're not trying hard enough. I have had conversations with a plate of lasagna. It sounded like my dead grandfather Giusepp.
How have I never been this high 🤗

Don’t leave out the SN76489! The FM for the meat and PSG for texture/noise (hi-hats, arpeggiated chip-square leads), made the Genesis sound unique!
I think that the audio of the 16bit consoles is really an interesting area to examine. The Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES had such totally different sounds. One FM based, one sample based. Yet each was capable of producing masterpieces of in game audio. People will say that the MD audio was weak, /1
Just think… Gremlin Graphics -> Core Design -> Tomb Raider -> Global media phenomenon! And Gremlin began as … a computer store!
In Impossible Mission, we even had to search Elvin Atombender’s toilets! When he’s constipated, does he say “Go. Go! GO!!”? #retrogames #retrogaming #epyx
I remember when Electronic Arts (EA) was a great company four decades ago. I have no clue what they produce or who they own now. By the way folks talk about them, they're a shadow of what they once were.
It's a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ album. 🎶 They send the heart police To put you under cardiac arrest And as they drag you through the door They tell you that you've failed the test 🎵
This week's pick for the @giantbomb.com Album of the Week Club is The Age of Plastic by Buggles! Everyone knows about "Video Killed the Radio Star" but how does the overall album rate and rank? Link: forum.giantbomb.com/topic/661/th... #music #album #popmusic #buggles #giantbomb #musicclub

Memories! <3 Before the commercialization of the internet, QuantumLink was popularizing smilies/emoticons to a large non-technical audience through People Connection from '85 to '89. :-) Scott Fahlman launched a cultural phenomenon in 1982! And Steve Case unwittingly turbo-charged it! :-D
Absolutely! In college in about 1995? 96?I wrote a very short essay about the vital social role of text emoticons in online communication. Punctuation on the internet hasn’t been punctuation since the start. 😁
This book got me laid three times in college. Thanks, Jesse. Nice to run into you here on Bluesky! (Not going to mention which edition of the book, speaking of age!)

Fauci might’ve pled the fifth, but Jeanine Pirro drinks a fifth every morning.

Going to take a page out of @decafjedi.com’s Soda Machine playbook and start a “game characters taking selfies” site. A swell use of my LucasFilmGames.com domain 😉 #adventuregames #retrogaming
Been there, done that. For 10 years in the 305. Over it. Now, if you want to reinvigorate usenet... I'm on board!
You should run a BBS.
The HP Way. The Unix philosophy. For the masses, not the classes. Community memory. Information wants to be free. Ted Nelson. Alan Kay. Seymour Papert. Tech Model Railroad Club. Miss those days. We can revive them. We must.

You bet your butt I just “claude, create a new branch, remove modules X and Y including all calls in the interpreter, and commit“ed the hell out of something. I have too much else I want to get to today. 90% human is just fine with me. 👌🏼
Learn to read people as well as you read code and schematics is the advice I give when students ask. It makes you a better engineer and more tolerable human to be around. #gamedev #softwaredev #peopleskills #advice
25 years in the biz before moving on to other things. But, I miss nights like this at WDNA/Miami. Just me, the board, and Bob Parlocha on DAT when the PRSS went down. 💙 Nothing else like that feeling. #radio #broadcasting #miami #wdna
Hello from the top of the Empire State Building, where I am running WNYC's overnight programming from our little backup studio in the sky while Con Ed is doing work at our main studio downtown. #WNYC #radio #NYC
