Doing homework with my son.
Son: So now I am supposed to use that formula to figure out how many minutes there are in one year.
Dr.Maddkap: H-how many … (sweating)
Son: What? It’s how many minutes are in a year.
Dr.M: (nods, gritting teeth)
Son: Dad what? You use the fraction to-
Dr.M: (leaping up and singing) FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MINUTES
Son: O.O
Mrs.M: (from the other room) Daddy was a theatre kid.
Dr.M: (panting)

This is an article that took a lot of strength to write and I might take it down again. But I felt like it is an article that is very necessary right now. https://bastianallgeier.com/notes/grandpa

yesterday i learned about lesbian chess. it's just like regular chess, except for two critical differences:
1. the king is replaced by a second queen
2. instead of checkmating the king, the win condition is *capturing every last one of your opponent's pieces*
so it's both a far more aggressive game and one with a totally different set of strategic considerations for e.g. when to make a sacrifice or hold a strong piece back

I just discovered https://phanpy.social/ , and this is the most excited I've been about a Mastodon web client since that one that looked like Google+. And this time I'm actually excited about useful things, specifically:
- thread support that often displays the thread inline on my timeline and always comes with a very prominent indicator that I'm seeing something from a thread
- an optional "boosts carousel" that separates boosts into their own timeline-goes-sideways chunks every so often

i am upset about this one because the taxonomy is subtly but objectively incorrect

to clarify what i'm looking for, i want the oldest game *by its listed release date on Steam*. i know there are some pongs and zorks and such on there that are (in some form) strictly older than 1983, but the versions on steam are updates or collections or remakes with newer release dates; this also disqualifies stuff like atari 2600 games that were put up there as part of newer collections
oldest release on steam update: i found dragon's lair on there, so the year to beat is now 1983 https://store.steampowered.com/app/227380/Dragons_Lair/
