signing up to threads just so I can have a different color logo on my website
when I have to take out the cohost logo it'll look so blue :/ I might have to host my cohost archive just to avoid that

Now you may be reading this and thinking— yes, they're artifacts, but are they really bizarre? Why is she making such a big deal? Are these really any stranger than any other old video game cartridge?
Yes! Because each of these carts is a tiny *computer*! That's how the Cassette Vision worked! The "console" is basically just a bridge from the cart to the TV (and the controls). There's a whole ass CPU inside each of these carts and *that's* what the game runs on!

They came!!! I thought they wouldn't arrive until I'd left the country but my Cassette Vision games came! (This happened yesterday but instead of posting about it I decided to sleep.) I'll get a chance to test the unit before I leave!
Look at these bizarre artifacts! Look at these fakeass looking screenshots (they're real). Look how many of the cartridge pins aren't even hooked up (I assume these are the paddles, not used in this game). The world is so full of strange and beautiful things
this is mostly to keep up with ppl tbh, I don't expect to be posting there much. I'll probably add the rss feed to https://shork.xyz/posts too

Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”
Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.

I'm currently unemployed, mostly bedridden, and trying to find a new doctor who* is actually interested in treating me. It's a whole thing.
If you could donate a couple dollars, that'd really help me. Thanks so much.
* Not that one. A time machine is not required, though I wouldn't say no to one.

I'm almost considering selling my steam deck and getting the white oled but it'd be a giant waste of money
watching Joel play half-life 2 with developer commentary made me realize how fucking good that game is, they don't make them like that anymore
in trying to figure out what speakers to put in my living room bc this tv's sound is not great but it's impossible to search for info on audio gear bc it's so suffused with audiophile bullshit
don't forget to grab Half-Life 2 on steam before it stops being free
I'm sure the falcon heavy is a decent rocket but aestheically it's got nothing on the Saturn V or even Artemis
