Birthday, +-
Anyway, sharing this mostly for introverts having trouble sharing this and extroverted folks who care a ton and fail to understand why their introverted friend is sad and avoiding attention on their birthday.
Proper care and feeding of your introvert is important, and what may have no cost and be easy for you may be different. Doing your best to take the load off and live their experience is so, so valuable. 💜
Birthday, +-
This message brought to you by loving and caring family who pulled me into a Zoom call to wish me happy birthday, used two phone calls with me to bargain for schedule, then tried to drag me to a big birthday dinner with lots of people.
No, please, I beg of you, I just want a day to chill and vibe with my friends and without my specific anxiety of coordinating with large groups of people.
Birthday, +-
Today's my hatchday. It's on the balance been positive, but I kind of want to package a specific anxiety from it that family (no one here) have flared up unintentionally, in case it helps other introverted folks like me struggle to communciate this to well-meaning people they love.
I like the attention, I love the well wishes, and I love being recognized on my special day, but please don't make social obligations for me that I am expected to meet. I just want to relax and vibe.

The original source code for the classic space game #Elite on the #BBCMicro and #AcornElectron, with every single line documented and (for the most part) explained. 🙂

Game programming is really hard because some bugs are incredibly subtle and easy to miss

In the realm of book ideas you've had overtaken by real world events, I truly, sincerely hope this wasn't one of them. *scream*

Thinking about
outdated robot, wearing a backpack with extra batteries and coprocessors to lower load on their systems
the extras probably more powerful than their actual hardware. To allow them to function better. More *being*
Well maintained.
Like, been watching videos of retrocomputers being expanded. Using a raspberry pi to expand an amiga, or an apple 2.
The expansion alone being more powerful in many ways than the original.
Perhaps some robot that has reached the end of possible expansion, architecture abandoned for others, memory and software tha makes them themselves not easily portable. Formats dying.
But still finding ways to *be*
My own fursoña is kinda close to that. But not quite, but it seems like a good concept to explore with another character.
re: vrchat photo, ec
I'm really happy I managed medium performance despite all of the physbones and features on this.
Still more to do, but this finally gives me the good brain juices when I use it, which is the most important part.

As the saying goes: feeling cute, might delete later.

It's also probably not the work crew's fault, nor most of Comcast's. Specs and city plans can be inaccurate, underground lines can drift over time, and it's hard to get an accurate reading below concrete without, well, digging. I'm assuming they used their best judgment on this and only knew it was a problem after they struck the line.
Comcast probably had to haggle with the city to run a single line. Typically there's redundancy in these systems, so the fact there wasn't here is... a thing.
At 9PM yesterday, we lost home internet along with much of the greater Seattle area. Still out (I'm tethering over wireless). We figured it was probably a fiber cut, but not a whole lot of information was circulating about it.
Today we learned: at least three cities were disrupted by a single box in the middle of Renton:

Who would win: Comcast service for all of Seattle vs one shiny diggie boy.
