Wait Pipe Mania is older than Oilcap (dos)?

When Windows 8 launched, Xp, Vista and 7 were still supported.

At Windows 8 end-of-life, vista, 7 and 8.1 were still supported.

That’s 4 versions to choose from.

Currently there is only 1 Windows version and you have to use it. That’s the big difference

Oh wow, love it from the first note!

I think I like the sound of that but how does moderation work? If my comment was mean could you delete it easily?

Conversation with Claude about tracery parsers, and it advises me to look at kate comptons parser, to which i reply “but Doctor i am kate compton”

Doctor says, 'Dont worry, parser design is simple. Great programmer Kate Compton has written the parser you seek’

Was really struck by what a lovely inspiring exercise this is, like a primary school version of Mary Oliver’s Instructions for living a life
Pay attention.

I'm very much into puzzles, I'd typically play Simon Tatham's collection or titles from Conceptis studios. You might imagine I was pretty surprised by how much "extras" there are in the app around the actual puzzle, like the whole path with consecutive levels, some "currencies", tips etc 🙂

Oh, interesting idea!
I'd like to report a maybe bug: I couldn't progress past this screen, nothing seemed to be clickable, I tried the hand, the pointed icon, the X, nothing

Thanatos 3D!

screenshot from "If Letters Had Pants"; board filled with jumbled letters, some of them removed, some colorful and wearing pants; the board underneath the letters shows colorful items being excavated

In-game screenshot, menu between levels, powerups to choose from: "Feng Shui Pants for F: Get 100% area", "Gardening Pants for M, plants a turnip", "High-waisted hatter pants for T, throws 5 hats to letters around it, use letters wearing hats for +100%..."

"If Letters Had Pants, Would They Wear Them Like This?" from @punkcake.club is just pure joy. I can't think how to describe it... Letter-finding puzzle game, except you get to update your letters, farm vegetables and all of it is an excavation sim? And it really works!!
(My best word was "DELIRIUM")

This game is timeless

@konjak.org Maybe random question: What's the deal with the Iconoclasts soundtrack? (I listen to it often!) On Spotify it was two albums "Sedated" and "Excited", and on Bandcamp it's one album "Birdsong", is there a story behind this?

This Friday is Bandcamp Friday

If you're following any musicians on Bandcamp, May 2 is the best day to buy an album or two!

Living in Poland means you can never tell where the backslash key is on a keyboard without looking.

@jotson.bsky.social Gravity Ace is one of the games I always have around on my desktop and revisit from time to time to improve my scores... Can you BELIEVE that only today have I realized that I've been playing v41 EA and there's a 1.0 version available?! Best day EVER!😁

I somehow missed that game completely! Should probably finish my Disco Elysium first, but bookmarking for later.

I was halfway through minecraft when they took it down:(

Oh I didn’t expect to see you in qntm’s replies! I read your newsletter! *tips hat*
Just recently I found myself longing for old Fallouts and ended up watching some playthroughs. Timeless.
F3 wasn’t …bad, but it’s a completely different game. (Junk collector simulator, maybe?)

That's just like saying "Curses!" instead of "¥÷^€©¢&#"

@konjak.org I took the liberty to plug a link to your bandcamp, I hope someone clicks it!
