Keith Palmer @krpalmer.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The Macross comments did get my attention; I suppose I'd forgotten the possibility of a VHS option (although seeing those numbers I know why that fell through...) 011

Keith Palmer @krpalmer.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I've been keeping track of the text adventures called "interactive fiction" for years, well before "generative AI"... but I am wondering if those single-player games are what you're thinking of.

Keith Palmer @krpalmer.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I still have my family's Model 100 (we were a "Radio Shack family"), and there remain people who talk it up as "a no-frills, distraction-light writing machine"... although the 8K model advertised would indeed have been limited for that purpose. 100

Keith Palmer @krpalmer.bsky.social · 17/07/2026When people fulminate about "greedy corporations" amid an apparent shift from "disc scales" to "streaming subscriptions," I admit I wonder if it's more a matter of fear of "being stuck with inventory that hasn't sold"... it surrenders potential money to avoid potential losses. 000

Keith Palmer @krpalmer.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The pointlessness is once more the point as I get two emulators talking directly to each other and recapture a little bit of the "connect a portable to your desktop" experience of the mid-1980s: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/495420.html 000
