It turns out that a Let's Play of _Mickey Mania_ (Genesis) played by the game's programmer is heckin' sweet. He bashfully admits that he must have been absurdly bored to code all those gorgeous miniature tech demos in.
You also get to see some frankly abominable gameplay of the sort that can result when a high-performing tech geek isn't also a design geek. Lots of awkwardness. It's actually really charming, though!

"I'm sorry," I said. "Based on this personality-trait cluster, even if we did turn you into a cartoon you'd only be one, maybe two educational shorts. Explaining how subtraction works or what ancient peoples were like."
He quivered. "Like the Mesopotamians?" he squeaked.
In that motion I knew I was wrong. He would become a long-running series of educational short cartoons.
No, I never imagined how long. I didn't suspect until "Take a Deep Breath: Your Respiratory System". I was slow.

CALLING ALL POSTFURRIES
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recapitulate the storyline of the Pied Piper of Hamelin as queer transhumanist fiction, with Fully Automated Gay Luxury Space Communism in place of the Faerie Veil.
This _includes_ the threat of inflicting bizarre, permanent transformations on interlopers, rather than stoop to mere vulgar murder. As revenge for stealing our economy, we turn their children into queer leftist space monsters.
Since it's appropriate in name only, enojy a bit of my most favourite videogame music ever: the title theme from the NES game _Solstice._

If you've never heard it before, don't be put off by the fact that it's NES music – I cannot gush sufficiently about the quality of this piece.
Also, there was a time when I could clear the game on one credit with 100% completion. I never consulted a single guide or anything – I just loved it that much. The music is part of why!
Super Metroid with randomised items.
This screenshot shows my inventory just after fighting Draygon and before picking up my reward, normal Bombs.
Notes:
• Yeah, I had to navigate all Bomb stuff with Super Bombs – and until recently, only ten!
• Check out my Super Missile capacity. Reminds me of having over 👑0 lives in Super Mario Bros.!
• Gravity Suit before Varia. Wacky.
• Still no Charge Beam or Ice Beam. Argh!
• Fighting Draygon with no Grapple Beam is horrible.

"He does not understand. Explain it to him as you would a child."
"They aren't historical documents, you see, because they aren't from our past, they're for our future. They outline the truth of our aspirations. They let us learn from more experiences than we can have. Their purpose is not to deceive, but to guide and drive our ideas. And look how well they worked for you; you've beaten us to it, and we can only be proud we helped."

"Magic is just completely fake. It's just another word for lying." -- Penn Jillette, on the random Space Ghost episode that popped up on my playlist
Yeah, you slick conceited asshole. But if you're gonna play those games... so is "literature." So is "culture." Fuck, you probably know some biology, Penn: so is "human perception." All "lies"-- useful, vital ones.
This is a classic example of how a rationalist can be totally factual and completely fucking misled at the same time. -_-

Health insurance.
My health insurance (does it even matter which one, anymore?) decided to stop paying for the treatments they authorised.
They didn't tell me or anything. I found out because the newest bill in my mailbox shows every treatment "not covered by insurance". So I went from owing nothing to... owing significantly more than nothing.
Hooray! This does so much good for my health!
Today's dose of the profound, courtesy of me:
"I like pointy sticks! You can use them to press marks into soft clay. And while you're that to harden, you can use them to stab anyone who tries to stop you from making marks in clay!"

Fresh-baked pot brownies!
Well, more like flourless chocolate mini-cakes using homemade cannabutter , made by @literorrery with minor assistance by me.
Mmmm, these're gonna be good.

Cannabis, good headphones, and my favourite barbershop tag—
Friends, I think I just found why they call it an en-THEO-gen.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD-DVYiXQqo and listen to these people. They hit that next-to-last chord and I swear to the god within me some angel invisibly strides in and brings a fifth voice. I can't even _explain_ how but it just grabbed me and shook. Tears streaming down my face, the works. Crying, screaming eargasm.
*sighs happily* Yeah, it's good to feel things again.
True tales, friends!
@literorrery (🐰) asked me (🐴) for water (💧) so I gladly followed my usual instinct: walk to the sink without bothering with the light, rinse the glass, and fill. But then I smelled oranges—
🐴: “Oops. Sorry for wasting a shot of your MIO.” (It's essentially zero-calorie Kool-Aid concentrate.)
🐰: “Oh, pshaw, it was only a little. Not even a MIO, just an M.”
🐴: “Three-quarters of an M – an N.”
🐰: “Half – a V!”
🐴: “Maybe it’s half as in two I's just... *leans* “Chillin’.”
Super Metroid, but with randomised items.
This screenshot tells more in what it doesn't show than what it does. Of note:
• Check out my ammo counts!
• It's a damn good thing a Super Bomb can do anything a regular Bomb can do.
• Those three Energy Tanks? I didn't get any of them until after I got two Reserve Tanks.
• I got the Gravity Suit yesterday, but I couldn't get back out from where I got it because I ran out of Super Bombs.
• I really could use a better Beam....

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world was that paying work defines your value.
