Peak 1996 nostalgia with @LongpigsBand beautiful new yellow vinyl of the first album. Custom decorated record player courtesy of the first @amandapalmer Kickstarter
@kchironis Word. Me and my daughter played a ton of Pokémon: Let's go because it let her join in when she wanted and didn't punish her for wandering off or getting distracted. Copilot mode on console can be great too but more games with an explicit "interested spectator" mode would be great
@BleachedInk Do it - when I was a teenager my folks had a mad old farm house in the mountains where the garden was way too steep and rocky for a mower and so me and my dad both learned to use a scythe with the help of the local farmers. It's super satisfying when it clicks :)
It's my daughter's 9th birthday today and if that's not an excuse to get excited and make things I don't know what is :) This year I re-bound her favourite book (@terryandrob's Wee Free Men) into a completely custom leather hardback for the occasion. Ach Crivens!
@GalaxyKate I think this works if your mental model of events is equivalent to CPU interrupts. Sadly they are often more like news - still hopefully true but often too late to trust their sequencing with other actions :/
@travisxuryan When infogrames bought Gremlin in 1999 Gremlin owned DMA design outright. Infogrames didn't think that DMA were worth the investment so they were sold off as part of the deal :)
@fizzychicken Also like tools - I've collected dozens of pretty or specialized ones over the years but mostly i'll reach for the slightly battered one that feels comfortable :)
