A really amazing professor is trying to raise funds to support students over the summer to work on a sewage treatment educational game! What is not to love about this? 💩 www.kickstarter.com/projects/que...

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Last night I experimented with CDROM emulation on PicoGUS using iso or bin/cue on a USB stick, using code from yyzkevin. I first thought RP2040’s USB would be too slow but after seeing the Pico ODE for 3DO that emulates the same MKE interface, I have newfound confidence that it will be fast enough.

Oof. I over did it yesterday. Lawn mowing - I use a push mower. Turning over the garden area and expanding it. The sod is rather heavy and I’m using a shovel. I should probably have rented a rototiller or went with a raised bed. Being frugal I opted for the laborious path.

In three hours! Join me this Wed., May 7th at 9PM EDT for another #HyperCard programming live-stream. I've constructed a pop-up text editor. youtube.com/live/AnvdwWh...

Peak sound in DOS gaming achieved! Thanks to @polpo.org awesome PicoGUS paired with the slick WavetablePi, I can enjoy Adlib, Tandy, SoundBlaster, CMS, GravisUltraSound, and Roland MT-32 audio from one amazing card.

Hey, so I decided to reup my Flickr Pro after determining that like, for the purposes of keeping something readily available for people to look at, Flickr was going to be the move as much as I didn’t want to. If y’all want to give me a follow over there and help me justify the cost that’d be cool.

My wife and I are on a mini-vacation the rest of the week visiting some museums. Celebrating our 40th anniversary. Yep, we’re museum nerds.

First draft of the fantasy #Writer #StarterPack is up! A mix of authors, freelance writers, and even fantasy journalists, these users in some way contribute to the continued success of the fantasy genre! As always, recommendations are appreciated as I will update this pack continuously!

What am I up to today? • write dialogue for Adventure! characters • incorporate audio dialogue • update locations to follow storyline • take a nap • update printed map • continue writing editor manual

25 slots left for #solodev game devs, reply below if you want in: bsky.app/starter-pack... (Just don't get mad if it fills up!! People have sent me angry messages or even blocked me over these, but I'll gladly make another starter pack if there's overflow. Plz be patient.)

Who remembers typing in games from magazines then? ... New bumper "Coding Again Like It's The 80s" video out over on YouTube, where I try first hand at trying to type-in a listing, namely "FROGGER", from the Oct 1994 edition of C&VG on my trusty #Commodore64 (cont.) ...

Installing Nortantis on Linux Mint Live stream at 8pm EDT tonight! Let's edit the Adventure! Game Map. youtube.com/live/GuRW47M...

We got a few questions about the Ultra SCSI Fast20 beta firmware so I wanted to share some details! This is an overclock to the Pico1/2 that allows the latter to almost saturate a 20MB/sec Ultra SCSI Fast20 bus! Real world results will vary of course, but here’s what we’ve seen so far! (1/6) 🧵

Sending someone an email an AI wrote is like inviting them over for dinner and microwaving a Stouffer’s. An AI post on social media is bringing that same microwaved dinner to a potluck. You should be embarrassed! Not by your lack of skill in word smithing, but for not even trying.

What's better than thirsty Thursday? #TTRPGThursday! Check out these awesome indie TTRPG creators! From solo games & independent devs to larger brands releasing new games constantly, you can find all of your #TTRPG needs at this one stop shop! Consistently growing! Always looking for recs! No AI!

Dont sleep on SCSI on vintage PC's - @stinkerton18.bsky.social has put in a ton of work documenting and making images for PC. A SCSI card + a #BlueSCSI can be a great, flexable, and feature filled PC solution! (BlueSCSI Toolbox apps work on PC too!)

I highly recommend this!

“Tariffs have been raised, new duties imposed, obnoxious restrictions revived and new devices invented for hampering the flow of goods from one country to another… For tariffs are not only results of the depression; they are also among its causes.”

This looks really cool!
