Just here to remind people that ELIZA was only 420 lines of code, ran without lag, and was roughly as interesting.

Yeah, that. The bespoke stuff is the only interesting stuff, why waste precious minutes of your time here on Earth with anything else?

Let’s try this again… ROSEWATER launches in 3 WEEKS! It’s got a dog you can pet, a cat you can’t, a fishing mini-game, gratuitous nudity (screenshot is too explicit for Bluesky so you’ll just have to find it in-game yourself)…something for all! Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

Sorry, had to delete a post there - it showed the full original screenshot instead of the cropped version it was supposed to use. When I figure out why that is I'll post it again, it was good.

Wherever Tami, Sandra, and Amy are today, I want them to know that the sorority girl Greek Alphabet song they taught me is still something I rely on 41 years later.

I didn't instantly realize that this was written nine years ago, and now I just want to refer to Trump as "Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump" at all times.

While I was out of the room this morning, my son discovered he could make a Nerf dart heavier by putting a nail in it. Ah, parenting!
