そいえば弊社二名（保住・姫ノ木）、どっちもずっとエロゲ作ってきてライター外の仕事もこなしまくってるので、開発が思うように進まないとか、そもそもどう作ればいいか分からないとか、そういうかたがたのお力になれるのでもしお悩みを抱えてらっしゃったらお気軽にコンタクトいただけると未来が拓けるかもしれません。ご一考ください。

a few years ago i mentioned that i wrote a book about the exciting, awkward and embarrassing experiences of growing up with computers and video games in the 80s and 90s.

i wanted to remember what it felt like being the only dorky computer kid at school. or what it was like to hear my first modem handshake sound. or starting the first flamewar on the school's national FirstClass BBS in the macintosh lab over the lunch-hour

it was originally something i wrote only for my family and friends who were there at the time.

and then i met all of you folks when i started my first masto instance 4 years ago. i had no idea there were so many hardcore retrocomputing and gaming nerds out there; unix and mac and ms-dos folks alike.

so i mentioned it casually. i was surprised by the interest in the book.

so i spent the better part of the past 3 years rewriting the book for *you* fellow mastodon dorkus malorkuses. the book is a celebration of all of the best (and worst) parts of a kid growing up in the digital age.

we're all busy old tired stressed folks now. so every memory and cringetacular story is short enough to read on a 5 minute bus/metro/toilet ride. they're weaved together into an arc that starts at my family's first Tandy TRS-80 and ends at my school's Mac LC II and building my first Pentium 133.

it's finally published, and i'm super proud of what it became thanks to everyone here nerding out for years.

enjoy the book. i wrote it just for you. ❤️

The front cover of Mages & Modems: A Childhood Well-Wasted in the Golden Age of Personal Computers, Games & Internet Piracy - a confessional by vga256. It shows a collage of computer and tech paraphernalia stacked on top of each other like a junk pile: a bright red telephone handset, a pile of 5.25 and 3.5-inch floppy disks, a mouse, a cocktail napkin from lefty's bar, two RAM simms.The rear cover of the book, showing a Carmen Sandiego-style letter from the ACME Detective agency. The letter has a picture of a spazzing out kid wearing a Just Do It sweater. The letter reads: ACME Detective Agency Dear Detective #0294, As discussed, I have enclosed a hardcopy of VGA256's journals discussed at the departmental briefing. The journal entries are chronological, and document the suspect's computing and gaming activities from the early 1980s to late 1990s - his childhood and adolescent years. Each vignette is an introspection into the suspect's self-described obsessions, including but not limited to: * IBM PC, Amiga, Apple ][, Macintosh, Tandy * MS-DOS, MacOS, Windows 3.1 & 95, UNIX * NES, GameBoy, Sega Genesis, TI-85 * Modems, BBSes, CompuServe, Prodigy, ISPs * Warez, FTP, Usenet, IRC, Shell Accounts * Origin Systems, LucasArts, and Sierra On-Line ... and so on. The stories are a treasure trove of immoral and illicit activities that made him the dysfunctional adult he is now. I hope these will be of value in building your dossier on this delinquent. I expect a report on my desk by Friday. Deputy Chief Conover Brat & Punk Division

How Will the Miracle Happen Today?

When I was in my twenties I would hitchhike to work every day. I’d walk down three blocks to Route 22 in New Jersey, stick out my thumb and wait for a ride to work. Someone always picked me up. … Continue reading →

This via @wdlindsyWilliam Lindsey :toad: deserves underlining:

The behavior you are seeing from ICE and from the Trump regime is the behavior of people who are scared.

Their bluster is fear. Their threats are fear. Their aggression is fear. Their defensiveness is fear. Their scrambling to keep their faces hidden and their actions secret is fear. Their desperate stream of liearrhea is fear. Their panic is fear.

They are acting tough, but they are not acting like people who are winning.

Keep them afraid.

"Despite the hateful language and tough-guy posturing, administration officials are running scared—as they should be. They know Renee Nicole Good was killed in an unjustified act of malice that supports the indictment and conviction of the ICE officer." ~ Robert B.

表現を仕事にする人が、歴史と政治を学んだ方がいい理由｜ウラケン・ボルボックス

絵を描く人、 文章を書く人、 音楽を届ける人、 動画を作る人、 演技をする人、 喋りで人を楽しませる人、 写真を撮る人、 踊る人、 人間はさまざまな表現をする。 そして、 「表現する」という行為は、それだけで社会と関わることになる。 表現がSNSと直結してる現代社会において、表現は、ただの自己発信ではない。歴史や政治と切り離された表現は、時に無意識の加害になる。だからこそ、描く前に知ること、奏でる前に学ぶことが求められる。自由に発信できる時代だからこそ、その自由を支える知識が必要になる。 表現には、メッセージを何倍にも増幅させる力がある。使い方を誤れば、差別の拡声器となって、無

day 8: A City. Create a generative metropolis.

This is just a bunch of agents random walking from the centre, increasing or decreasing the height of squares they pass through (min 0). The displayed height is the max that has been seen in that cell. The idea was that random walks touch cells near the centre more, so I should get flat sprawl around taller buildings. Written with .

⚠️ Update: has now been offline for 12 hours with national connectivity flatlining at ~1% of ordinary levels, after authorities imposed a nationwide internet blackout in an attempt to suppress sweeping protests while covering up reports of regime brutality 📉

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 1, 2025, to January 9, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.
