I just like that it looks like a cuttlefish.

I don’t know man, the kachonk is a valuable part of the experience for me, great tactile feedback

This was literally my first thought on seeing this

I’m so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

Oh man, my oldest brother put this on when our parents were out and all I remember is being terrified of the eyeball in the guy’s palm at some point. Probably my first experience with body horror.

The first time a heater turns on for the year

We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating

Was pong on the Telstar, along with Tennis and i think two more similar super basic games? That’s what we had

Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories

I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.

Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.

I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.

Relatively recent arrival to Reddit, but this was the nudge I needed to really start diving into the Fediverse (via Lemmy). It’s been a ton of fun.
