Wolves just made it out fastest… easier and short gestation period. Wooly Mammoths have a 2 year gestation, so each iteration is slow. I hear Dodos were good eating. They will soon be back. (Not on menus, but they won’t eat us.)

I also did a little re-version of the "Love Theme" from Ultima 7 Parts 1 and 2 from the original MIDI. Hopefully anyone likes it. #Ultima7 #SerpentIsle @richardgarriott.bsky.social

“If there’s anything worse than an economic plan that attempts to revive the 19th-century protectionist U.S. economy, it’s the fact that the people responsible for explaining and implementing it don’t seem to have any idea what they’re doing, or why.” apple.news/AcKgELdHFTlm...

It's no surprise that Sir Garriott still caries on his noble duty of congratulating fans on completing his various adventures, but it warms my heart to see, every time.

Footage I took on real hardware of my Gameboy remake of @richardgarriott.bsky.social's #Ultima I. There's also a remake of the second game that I'm working on. It was always strange to me that the first two Ultimas didn't get console ports #homebrew #remake #demake #fangame #pixelart #RPG #gbstudio

Often I say "Don't meet your heroes." Met far too many that made me regret it. Some even conspiracy theorist & flat-earthers!😅 One time I went against experience & made an exception. Lovely guy that Richard Garriott. @richardgarriott.bsky.social even took time for email interview on my old site! 👍

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

This is the epitome of MAGA human scum. When Steve Bannon was asked about innocent immigrants being caught up in these deportations, he replied “Big deal, maybe some people got caught up in it. Who knows. If there’s some innocent gardeners in there? Hey, tough break for a swell guy” #ProudBlue

Four years ago, @richardgarriott.bsky.social showed his unswerving support for @eddiespaceboy.bsky.social by sending him a video clip from the bottom of the Challenger Deep. Eddie's road is a bit bumpy at the moment and this will really cheer him up. I am so thankful for his STEM friends. :-)

Trump works for Authoritarians around the globe: “… for the first time in 83 years, the storied Voice of America is being silenced," Abramowitz said… it has played an important role "in the fight for freedom and democracy around the world."

I smell bullshit. Trump claims Putin will be more 'generous' in peace talks than 'difficult' Ukraine

I also always use the lucky number 3! For me, it’s both my favorite number, but also results in an easy to find dungeon just below the starting place in LB’s castle!

@richardgarriott.bsky.social this is going to sound very boo hoo but I think it's awesome. I introduced my friend to Ultima 32ish years ago. I moved away about two years ago. Yesterday was my dad's birthday(passed in 2020 at 63). Anyway my friend said he missed gaming with me so he made this.
