why hasn't anybody taken the intro to the activitypub standard more literally and built software that lets you request and lend physical books via the fediverse
LBT playscii is a really nifty art and game making tool that you should definitely check out

Once-in-a-long-while reminder that I made an open source ASCII art, animation, and game creation tool called Playscii: http://vectorpoem.com/playscii
People have made some pretty cool stuff with it! http://playscii.tumblr.com
It's a dynamic, hackable thing written in Python so you can do all sorts of oddness with it.

I feel like people don’t appreciate enough how gorgeous Korean RPGs were in the 90s/early 2000s.
There were great games coming out of other parts of Asia too, even though in the west we only really think about Japan.
(Game: Leithian: In the Abyss, by Garam & Baram, released in 1999.)

@jplebreton that exact thing has already happened to tamagotchis, so it's feasible!
there are a bunch of emulated tamagotchis that exist in a shared "tamagotchi matrix."
the virtual tamagotchis are even connected to the internet, and can be watched live: http://tamahive.spritesserver.nl/

Dump of the original Furby's assembly source code, dated June 1998: http://www.seanriddle.com/furbysource.pdf
Coolest thing I can think of to do with this would be to get it running in a virtual machine in some existing virtual space, eg an MMO, VR chat room, No Man's Sky etc. I love the idea of this thing's freaky digital soul living on in unrecognizably alien worlds.
