Looking forward to this decayed particle-barely-a-man to fulfill the second part. Not even the son of god will kiss this mess, and he's got no one to blame but his fat self. Feed him to the snapping turtles.

Something of yours pounding? Give it a whack. 🤭 Return to Zork had a good GUE vibe to it, even if the acting was a little ... MST3K, let's say? (You can play Zork I on Daisy, btw!) #retrogames #retrogaming #adventuregames

I think I’m a clone now ‘Cuz every BIOS call is a hand-me-down! 🎶🎵
Columbia Data Products MPC 1600, one of the first IBM PC clones. Did they clean room the BIOS? Copy it? Nobody cares. Get lost.

BREAKING: Green T and The Sushi Platter will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran
National Inquisitor file photo of Green Tentacle and The Suction Cups, later rebranded as Green T and The Sushi Platter in what has been argued to be a good move by Tim.

I need to come out of the closet again, it seems, fam. I'm secretly into FPGAs. I'm going to transition. Beware the pipeline! Commodore -> Embedded Software -> FPGAs -> ELECTRON EUPHORIA?
An absolutely scintillating piece of electronic circuitry with lots of ASICs and FPGAs and some kinda bus and I think I need a towel.

TIL: The Independent Commodore Users Group tried to buy Viewtron from Knight-Ridder when they announced they were shutting down the service. Didn't know they had pivoted to a client for computers away from the Sceptre terminal! InfoWorld, March 31, 1996:

To this day, I have no clue what happens in The Adventures of Willy Beamish if you tell the photographer to buzz off rudely. He's too nice and reminds me of my old man.

thE iNTerNEt Isn'T fUN aNYmoRE! Nostalgia as displaced longing. Hedonic/instrumental confusion. Diachronic vs synchronic identity. Grieving feelings he's mislabeled as a place, which keeps him from noticing the feeling is still on offer at a different address. And these things didn't disappear.

My heart breaks. Back in the 80s and early 90s EA was a great company. They put out amazing games AND applications like Deluxe Paint (which was used in #gamedev prolifically and inspired generations of pixel artists.) Don't mean to be all old-man-rant about this, but I'm literally emotional. 💔

The last time I played and loved an EA game, this was the loading screen, four decades ago. The way gamers talk about them today, Electronic Arts must be an embarrassing shadow of what they once were under Trip Hawkins. Breaks my heart. 💔

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.
