It was a color terminal starting with my upgrade from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS 10 (and Fedora around the same time).
But I kept it that way because of my history growing up with Apple IIs (and an old interface to airline booking software in the early 2000s as well.
Born in 80.

My terminal used to be set up such that local terminal usage was green & black and remote was amber.

What about my Fark account number being a low 6 digit number (It would have been lower, but I just lurked for a year first).? Or how far I got in various MUDDs on My local BBS. I need someone to recognize my internet clout!!

Oh believe me I’m trying. I will usually cross-post things I’m selling, but I don’t get anywhere near the interest I’m my 104,000 person metropolitan area.

I am so upset that FB killed Craigslist, that is basically the only reason I use it regularly anymore. My feed has basically been taken over by right wing influencer bots otherwise.
- Comment on Advice on which retrogaming handheld I should buy? 5 weeks ago:
I have an Anbernic RG556 and we just got our kids (9 & 11) Retroid Pockets.
If I’d did it again, I’d have gotten myself a Retroid instead, but it was a close call, I just like the Retroid software choices a tiny bit more, though the Anbernic is very comfortable to play.
As an aside, when we gave our kids the pockets, I put 5 games on it and put a big “price*” on getting new games. Right now they are working through some classic Game Boy carts.
*-Think chores, et al. I’m trying to recreate the experience of having limited games unless you saved up to buy a new one. I also make them do one smaller task if they want to call the “helpline” since there was a cost to call the Nintendo Power helpline that I had to cover if I wanted to call.

Would the museum have an area like the back of old video rental stores with a curtain blocking the doorway where they stored goatse, lemon party, 2G1C, et al?

I thought it was playing on it being nonsense AI generated text because they were “replacing” the workers with generative AI.

Long they grow, precious, long and strong… but polished, yes. Filed smooth so they don’t snag on the rockses. Smeagol takes care of his toesies.

Look at how often grindr crashes during right wing events. It’s already political, maybe just not in the back end.

I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.

Seems like a perfect place to figure out tweaks to increase my Angband framerate. My current install is really pixelated. ;)

That seems like it would be sticky.

Dice-play.com is a really good resource. We play a lot of farkle (older scoring not the commercial version), any Yahtzee, but lately we’ve been playing Ship, Captain, Crew, Knockout, and Centennial with the kids.

Nice! What game?
- Comment on Made my first model 3 months ago:
It occurs to me as well that the “completeness” of this amused me too.
- 1 tin
- 1 ~$5 package of dice
- 1 print
- 1 pencil from IKEA, your local golf course or wherever
- 1 pocketmod printout of games sized to fit the tin (a work in progress)
No spare parts, it’s all complete.
- Comment on Made my first model 3 months ago:
It’s not that we play a specific game that needs 10 dice, but I find that I can accommodate a whole lot of games if I have 10 dice. I originally thought of doing six because that would cover up through Farkle and then Yahtzee could come along for the ride, but then I realized that if I threw all the dice in the package in there, I could expand the optional games. Or running multiple games separately.
If I had 2 extra we could even play Bunco. So it was more that it fit and opened up a bunch of options.
