Emulate Mario Party 1, since it will never be rereleased. :thinknyan:

Make a custom controller button binding specifically for rotating the joystick clockwise and another for counterclockwise, because otherwise you'll break your controller and/or hand.

Wow, the Zappa family trust DMCA'ed one of my t-shirt designs off RedBubble, despite it having absolutely nothing copyrighted that the Zappa family owns. http://beesbuzz.biz/art/drawings/sketchbook/2831-I-am-the-Slime

Momentum has died down on our campaign to help four families of color in West Philly who were scammed out of housing and all the money; but the campaign doesn't end until Tomorrow at 8:00pm. We've raised a good amount but we could still make a bigger impact by raising more! If we can raise $8250 then there will be more remaining after GoFundMe subtracts their fees and it will make it easier to find housing within budget quicker

So please chip in, donate, and share it around!!

The upcoming version of Mastodon (2.6) will have improved support for so-called circles (a group of recipients that is less than all your followers)

Mastodon itself does not implement circles, mind you, but e.g. Hubzilla does, and any ActivityPub server could.

Prior to this patch, such messages would appear as DMs with a large number of recipients in Mastodon. After the patch, they will appear just like normal private posts.

@lifning @iliana game jam idea: generate random yaml and invent the game for which the yaml represents a save state

You know how video ads, video interstitials in online articles, have been getting more and more popular over the last few years?

not sure how i never noticed this similarity before - left is from the 38-pin satellaview EXT connector (8-bit data bus), right is from the old 40-pin ATA connector (16-bit data bus)

of course we already know that EXT was for a never-made hard drive addon so it's not that surprising
