@IanColdwater @unfard I think at this point I have pretty much all the standard onion and bell pepper codes memorized. It's super efficient, but a little weird when I step back and think about it.

@tybritten @TegmaTV @BriannaWu This is what I was going to say. The idea that dropping the bombs was unnecessary is reasonably well-supported within academic discourse, and it's more than a little disingenuous to casually dismiss it as "brainrot."

@kobunheat @DigitalEclipse Finally, I'll have some long-awaited context for all the hours I spent at the public library playing Karateka on one of their Apple IIes. Very excited for this, especially after Atari 50.
English
🚨NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE RT!🚨
So excited to FINALLY reveal "The Making Of Karateka," our next game from @DigitalEclipse!
Before Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner created this 1984 Apple II masterpiece. Our new interactive documentary goes DEEP.

@AnimeStudies Maybe there's hope after all for "The Sisyphean Struggles of Gold Ship: Reading Uma Musume Pretty Derby through the Lens of Camus".
English
The anime studies paper that we deserve!
"This paper scrutinizes the confluence of idol and racing industries in Uma Musume Pretty Derby, a Japanese multimedia franchise centering on "horse girls," anthropomorphized characters based on racehorses."

@BenKuchera We stan. Jarnathan didn't deserve to be done like that twice.
English
I'm nursing my jaw pain with the Dungeons and Dragons movie and some ice cream. How great is the D&D movie? I still can't believe they pulled it off. Jarnathan forever.

@gameism @BenKuchera In retrospect, we probably peaked with Usenet.

I'm a Web2 enthusiast and investor. Web2 for life. I'd go back to Web1 if I could.

@maxledaron @BriannaWu My understanding is that it's complicated and nuanced, and that a large part of it is how municipal governments have handled property zoning. The US housing situation will likely remain inflexible until zoning ordinances change.
English
I don’t think it’s progressive to lecture people to remain indentured to predatory landlords, and to give up the dream of owning a home.
It’s one of the major ways white people have disproportionately built up and transferred generational wealth.

Apartment buildings save nature, tell a friend!
English
@BriannaWu @maxledaron What happens to those people under the status quo? Single family housing under the market paradigm isn't working out for most people, either.
English
@maxledaron Hold on, I’m taking notes. So, we should seize a statistically large number of apartments buildings in the US, overwhelmingly owned by large corporations and convert them in units people can buy.
What happens to the majority of people who don’t have enough for a down payment?
English
alright everybody knows what's gonna happen next
mooser@btownmoose
have misplaced not one (1) but TWO (2) investment flashlights I use for professional purposes fuck! this sucks willy wankers!
English
@ethanhein Although it looks like footnote 4's URL is truncated in at least two places, so even that won't work very well.
English
@ethanhein Honestly, I'm feeling pretty similarly about my own volunteer academic obligations. Since I'm alt-ac, my employer definitely will NOT let me take time away from my day job to do journal work, so it all has to happen during my vanishing free time. Not a fan.
English
@textfiles Great news! Didn't hear about this until today, so just kicked over a little for those other expenses.
English
Happy update! I've now bought this, and am arranging with people to come pick up the issues, and we'll then get them sent to me. (The auction was Local Pickup Only.) Further incoming donations will help with shipping/packing and other expenses coming up.
Jason Scott@textfiles
OK, here's the deal. This person is selling this batch of 251 issues of Computer Shopper for $3000, firm. $13/issue is a good price (even if some are rough). If we raise $3000, I will buy it and scan them all. (The CS issues will need to be split.)
English
@The_Katbot Whereas text adventures were comparatively open-ended and relied on text parsers for their interfaces, visual novels were able to simplify that interaction into decision trees that could be easily navigated with a game controller.
English
@The_Katbot I feel like you could make a somewhat similar argument for the divergence between early visual novels and classic text adventures.
English
Always a little surreal seeing super famous streamers using the exact same hardware that's in your daily rig. (Minus the anime standee, at least; my rig may have RGB, but it's otherwise Strictly Business.)
English
@ethanhein That's right; I forgot that time and frequency are correlated. I suppose there are only very few fields (biology, perhaps) where folks might have a legitimate need for recording material > 20 kHz, as a way to analyze the soundscape even if we humans can't hear it.
English
@ethanhein I somewhat doubt it, and I certainly wouldn't muddy an undergraduate lesson by bringing this up, but it seems an interesting question nonetheless.
English
@ethanhein It does make me wonder, though, if there are possible edge cases out there where this might make a difference, where something could conceivably happen in the fraction of a second between samples that can't be reliably recreated by a DAC.
