I adore old computer books where the author insists on adding illustrations + cartoons everywhere. E.g., in "Starting FORTH", you get to meet this cute two-headed dragon that swaps the top two items on the stack!

Illustration from "Starting FORTH". A cartoon-y two-headed dragon flies down and swaps two numbers on top of a spring (representing a stack data structure).

Project Zomboid players are dismayed because the exploit for 'battle milk' just got patched out. You mix 51% water with whiskey and milk. The whiskey combats the stress debuff, milk provides raw calories/weight maintenance and the water quotient is just enough to trigger the auto drink mechanic.

Yesterday I was reading a book from the 1920s, and a character mentioned something called "shirred eggs." Never heard of it, so I looked it up, and ended up cooking some that night. They really should be more popular. It's like getting a savory eggy custard thing quickly for zero effort.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.
