One of the defining games of my teenage years
Beautifully brilliant!
What the hell just happened?!

realized while emptying the dishwasher that Yoda is precisely wrong. not malevolently so. but there is no do and there is no do not. there is only try. this is clear to a man in his mid-fifties and so should be clear to a 900-year-old Jedi knight

Heading into a new week, there will be stresses and worries. There will be fears and anxiety. But we always - always - have control over how we react to what is happening around us. Know that you have a choice to dwell or to rise, to accept or improve. Seize the day, seize the week. 🙏

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!
with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

My dad brought home a #commodore #pet one day when I was about 12. Was cool to that it had its own screen and I didn’t have to negotiate to use the family tv #nostalgia
Had a friend who’s older brother had a #bbcmicro He wanted me to help him with a game but by that time I had already moved to PC and didn’t have a clue how to use it!
My sister was given a #Commodore64 when I turned 12, but she only ever used it to play #GianaSisters 😂
The very first computer I ever touched was my cousin’s #zxspectrum #48k - a year later my computing journey started 🥹
Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
