@codl gosh yeah, if we don't update we have a huge risk of viruses

@codl oh! be careful with that question, or someone might reply with "ligma cubes", and then you need to make a house out of them in minecraft

@kvance oh! that's fun!

i didn't think rust would be exactly easy to compile into something that could work in a dos program~

it's really nice having friends who you can be mentally exhausted around, and know you don't need to interact for it to be nice to be around

@dthompson oh wow! i didn't even know this was in the works, that's rad as heck!

these fonts kinda remind of the energy lisp machines had--i wonder if they had similar inspiration?

This restoration project for smalltalk-80 fonts is pretty neat. I think these fonts could see new life in pixely games. moritzfuerst.net/projects/smal

@m455 i've only played around with it a little! so i haven't actually written anything with it yet

but i really like what i've played around with, so that might change~

if you haven't played gates to infinity, it's thesis is basically about the entire concept of hope

which means, that it has to veer pretty far into the idea of hopelessness too. and even a lot of its leitmotif reflects that!

and as someone who struggles with anxiety, the fact that the concept was actually a tangible part of the story honestly kind of destroyed me

i really like the way that every pokemon mystery dungeon game begins with this song, but each one with a different leitmotif in the background that embodies the game it starts

the gates to infinity "theme of hope" in this one hits different than a lot of the others for me, because the motif of the theme itself is kind of...melancholic?

it kind of plays with sounding more contemplative and wistful? which really does fit with the themes that make gates unique when comparing it to the other games

The best-kept retro-mac secret is that the following web sites exist:

system6.app/
system7.app/
macos8.app/
macos9.app/

If you ever wanted to play with an old MacOS, this is the least effort to get started.
