By the way did you know that you can get it as a framed print https://store.theonion.com/products/sickos-cartoon-print?_pos=5&_sid=1455b360f&_ss=r

@dosnostalgic Pocahontas, famous for being a white person,

@dosnostalgic this game looks very charming but looking at youtube it seems kind of … bad

@jplebreton @dosnostalgic Like, the actual original soviet-rackmount computer version looks aesthetic as fuck

@dosnostalgic omg time gal

Watching Spectrum ZX demos from 1995

@dosnostalgic Hmm… damn. I'm set up for VR streaming, but not on the Quest.

So

Roberta Williams

made a 3D, late-CD-ROM-era-Cyan-feeling remake

of "Colossal Cave Adventure" (1976)

…today ???

…like it was literally released today

@dosnostalgic Yeah, was just writing something about that. Sometimes I wish mastodon had Twitter's "post a thread all at once" feature.

So after watching Glass Onion I was thinking… man, Edward Norton hasn't been in much lately has he?

I looked and like… no, not really! He's been working really sparsely, a lot of cameo/voiceover stuff, and mainly he just seems to appear in everything Wes Anderson makes. So Glass Onion really is something of a return.

@dosnostalgic €16000 is probably enough for one person to make a game, assuming there is no voice acting, but it's definitely not enough for them to have the time to make the game AND make regular status update posts

@dosnostalgic oh my god

@dosnostalgic Why do these two versions have such different-looking color?

@dosnostalgic Looks a lot better than the 1983 image tbh https://mastodon.social/@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io/109615333340285714

Apple is probably releasing their VR/AR product this year, which means they're probably going to patent a *bunch* of stuff which is wildly obvious but just coincidentally has never been shipped before. So it's occurring to me it is a good idea to start publicly documenting various "hey, you know what would be a good idea to do in VR" ideas, so we can point to it as prior art when the lawsuit happens.

Some things I've been thinking about for years:

@dosnostalgic hm, yeah, I dunno, it's not great but I feel like it's *on* to something. Maybe with another couple revisions

@dosnostalgic GTIS

@dosnostalgic AudioGalaxy and/or Carracho/Hotline

@dosnostalgic Was this fun?

TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agrawal/48746079687/) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGnY
