@tcql@octodon.social now I'm imagining that whole book as a guy being pestered by a sea lion and it's ruined

@tiden I had the original Duck Tales game for the NES! It took me months to figure out how to pogo jump, which is needed at certain stages. I kept wondering why I was getting stuck!

@mawr @skquinn@octodon.social ha, probably similar to, way back when I was encoding mp3s, to make sure not to use VBR and a couple other settings I forgot because some of my devices didn't support it.

@cypnk @chr@cybre.space omg a compaq deskpro, that was my first PC of my very own, nostalgia feels

@skquinn@octodon.social my android twitter client
it chokes and harfs and tells me it's not a proper video file or something
I forget where, but others if it lets me upload cover it up with a giant javascript PLAY button

Seems some modern software have forgotten that GIF is not always a video format, it was once used for single-frame graphics like jpeg, yet smaller file size and much less lossy when using a small number of flat colors. Nowadays I have to convert them to PNG to fully use them properly.

The Matra & Hachette Alice looks like a super rad 1983 computer.

There! I have cleaned off my desktop directory, now only 2 gigs of random crap down from 20, and I have managed to close all but the 12 most essential tabs in my browser...

Freaky stick-on shoes for the bottom of your feet, so I guess you can go barefoot yet still be protected with non-slip grippy things yet still not wear socks or shoes wah
