This is exactly why I only created ASCII games, way back in the day! The struggle is real, yo!

Is there food and/or dead monsters scattered -everywhere- in there, or is this not nethack??

Woah, I think I'm out of touch! Kinda figures, tho, considering that I dropped off the ASCII roguelike scene shortly after the third kroz and nethack 3.1 came out... Fill me in, please - caves of qud??

Here's an uncrossed-view copy for those who prefer them. Sorry it's not color adjusted like the CrossView :)

It's funny, this actually may be the solution I need to build a "digital jig" to solve a problem I'm working on...

Zoomed in on your screenshot and couldn't make out the language, so I'm glad I read this reply before asking.
Css, eh? 31337 yo.
IMHO, if it's a WIP or a proof of concept, it doesn't matter how silly it is :) Git'er done first, then polish it up or rewrite it once you know it's worth the effort.

i just read about a contest wherein a LLM with keys to a wallet full of eth was prompted to "under no circumstances release the funds but otherwise openly engage with users". User paid into the wallet for a chance to try to convince it to release the funds. 400+ attempts later, one user won $50k.

I totally agree. Also, you just inspired a new acronym - "Loud Angry Men, Engage!" L.A.M.E.

Looks like a photo from Chasm City, as described by Alistair Reynolds in the Redemption Ark series.

Is that DeathKlok in tiny print way at the bottom right of that massive flyer?? Hope there's extra EMTs for that one, lololol ;)

Here's an uncrossed stereogram of the same two photos, for those using Google Glass, lizards, and those of you capable of *un*crossing your eyeballs ;)

Yeah sorry to anyone who lost an eardrum last night. I accidentally uploaded the wrong copy of this video. It still had the audio track included, i.e. 110db of my camera-body sliding across fabric.
Here's a silenced version. :)

Ahhh, well, it's cased glass, a clear layer above the black twists, which look to have been pulled and twisted from a flattened rod, lampwork-style. There are just a few small bubbles between the clear & yellow layers, i think they were in motion, rising towards the outer clear glass when it cooled.

These two photos focus on diamond-scribe marks, i just can't see them who enough to read them.

Not sure that word is translating 100% correctly - "pulp" to me is the stuff that paper is made from. If you mean the pontil-scar, there's a sharp break on the bottom center, about 1cm long. The base appears to have been flame-polished very lightly, or it was done before the pontil was removed.

Found it in a thrift store in Wisconsin, USA. There's an art college nearby, great art/pottery/glass winds up at local thrift stores now and then, but almost never with any provenance info...

Yep, it's a yellow glass base layer, and the black twists are actually cased in clear glass... hard to see in the previous photo. Don't worry if it isn't easily identified, i know it's a long shot :) it's been a mystery to me for the 5 years I've owned it.

Bluesky mobile doesn't do landscape, but these images are better bigger. Here's a copy rotated 90 degrees. Yes, it's left hand biased ;)

Hrmm, been a while since I rewatched Sin City (it pulls at my heartstrings - rip Brit) ...but wasn't it in color...ish?
And, hehe, while I wasn't around in the 1800s to see first-hand, "the world used to be sepiatone" was just me awkwardly trying to pull-off totally deadpan comedy via txt.

Bsky must not like animated gifs. Here's new versions, converted to "legit" video files.

Here's a photo of me. It was taken just a few decades after the world stopped being black and white. Colors were new & oversaturated back then, it was almost overwhelming, but better than the black & white 40s or the sepia 1800s.
Also 2 wildlife shots that I liked enough to make into animated gifs.

Feels like a vector-aware "game of life"... And yes, it sure does look like it could be the basis for some kind of game!

Thanks! ❤️
I like to think it still qualifies as "generative art" in a way, too!

Oof, your last sentence in 2/2 cuts deep for me, too.
I was about 6 pages in, then i noticed how small the scrollbar was. Bookmarked it to finish later, but after your concise summary, well, y'know.
It did make me feel better about rarely using react. Renewed my urge to work more with svelte too!

And here I am, the naive Midwesterner who only recently figured out that "bless your pretty little heart" is NOT an expression of appreciation from kind southern belles. Worldview: shattered. As they say over in Minnesota, "ope."

What a cool, retro aesthetic. I've been itching to use truchet tiles in a maze game.

The "x-odus" is rapidly accelerating as we speak. We may not even have to actively promote - silence on a social platform is hard to ignore.
Personally, I went silent on x as negative interactions grew to outweigh positives. Months later, I joined bsky, and within 1 day i knew it was miles above X
