Old computers. Distant stars. Code. Pixel art. General geekery. Ignorant but learning.

@jon_stokes I'm so tired of this. It seems like every 6 months there's a new version of "Skynet is real and heres how it's going to kill us".

Does anyone actually like a Monte Cristo? I feel like abomination is too strong a word but yeah... they are an afront to all things sandwich.

I wonder if the general breakdown in participating in social structures (churches, civic groups, etc) is because we are so burnt out from normal life responsibilities and work that we just don't have the energy to invest in yet another thing that will vie for our time.

@jon_stokes @SteveSkojec First time I've seen Wright mentioned on my TL. His set on the historical Jesus and early Christian was good too.

@SandyofCthulhu I love the Bombadil part because it makes no sense. It's just a nice departure from the pursuit of the Hobbits. But this.... this is on a whole other level.

@jon_stokes This reminds me of SimCity 2k, where you'd have normal city styles then boom, you could place an archology that looked completely alien to everything else.

@jon_stokes How did it come out?

@SandyofCthulhu Vincent Price would be so good as Dr. Strange!

@david_perell Isn't this the plot of Dead Poets Society?

Slowly getting into making chiptune music and just found chipsynth SFC. This thing is great.

@jon_stokes I was a huge fan of Braid and to a lesser extent The Witness but to see such a backhanded comment from him is disappointing.

@jon_stokes Finally, someone else who knows about Everyman's!

misappropriating funds, over promising and under delivering, and generally fouling up recovery efforts. If you plan on donating to a large orgs, do your research first. The best option is local orgs and communities that you can give directly do (and vet them as well). (3/3)

In the wake of the hurricanes that have pummeled Florida, there are going to be lot of opportunities to help. One of them you will see is the Red Cross. I implore anyone that reads this to NOT donate to them. (1/3)

I used to. Then I learned of how they handled the crisis in Haiti in 2011 that they raised millions of dollars for. Spoiler alert: they couldnt account for most of the money given for Haiti and most of what they promised never materialized there. They have a history of (2/3)

New job strategy: treat the client like they are the dumbest possible person but in the nicest way possible. Because articulating your development needs is apparently hard.

I don't know if it's nostalgia or that it's a great game but Deus Ex (2000) still hits. Especially with the HD texture pack.

@GuyFieri Just watched the Hot Ones episode with you (yup I'm behind the times). Sorry to hear about your sister. I had cancer in my 20's and thought you'd like to know, Triple D was my jam while in the hospital. I'd watch reruns until 5 in the morning.

@jon_stokes Your brain will explode when I tell you I'm still using a Hotmail domain...

@dyhptg This is messing with my head! I got mine 1, maybe 2, years after it came out and have no memory of it being called PSX back then. I always referred to it as PlayStation. I even subscribed to PlayStation Magazine and don't remember any other naming convention until PSone came out.
