It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Window of a barbershop in Arles, France with an image of Goku from Dragonball Z in an apron and holding a barbershop pole and scissors.

Van Gogh spent a lot of time in Arles, France. There's a restaurant that used to be a hotel where Van Gogh stayed and in a letter he wrote that the food was bad and they overcharged him for wine. Directly next door, sharing a wall, is this Dragonball-themed barbershop.

If you have Angelfire or Tripod webpages, or Angelfire email, back it up now. A shutdown within the next 27 days is coming but they have not given us an exact time yet.

I'm stealth at work so I can't explain to my manager/etc how important this appointment could be but I'm travelling back on the day of the appointment so I have some leeway with just. disappearing for an hour.

lmfao GIC gave me a sudden appointment out of nowhere to do with future surgery consultation, but when I'm on a business trip to Switzerland next week

At least it can be taken remotely but like. they're really good at picking the worst timing.

Watching Vinny's Videogame Malls VOD and spotted an old friends artwork in one of the stores, hadn't seen those pictures before but knew immediately it was his art by the style. Splendid vibes.

DA has become a massive fucking toilet over the last couple years, with the deluge of AI generated pigshit and the frequent scam messages. I'm not surprised to see it fall off as hard as it has.

Pros of having OCs: it's fun, you write their stories yourself, you can ship them with your friends' OCs, they live in your head 24/7 ✨

Cons: no one else will draw them fanart except you…

Just put up a bunch of items in my shop - a blend of brand new and reprints of things people have been asking me to restock, plus original works of art. If you're interested, please give it a look! www.etsy.com/shop/leirincrafts

Invest in your friends’ OCs. It’s like being in a fandom, except you get the benefit of having the inside scoop, too.

Yes, show me the “bad” sketch, pitch me the shower thought… I love it.

genuinely fascinating that we’ve hit a point where the full monetization of the internet and ai bot takeover has led to a majority of people wanting tech minimalism

Hi! We're an alternative to Amazon's Audible, & here are a few things that people often don't know about us:

1. We have over 600k audiobooks in our catalog! You'll pretty much find whatever you want to read, other than Audible exclusives (but that's on them, not us)

A composition of three images: a screenshot of the source code to Pokémon Red, highlighting a label called VunixMachine; a screenshot of Pokémon Red with the player using a PC in a Pokémon Center, saying "RED turned on the PC.", and an infobox from Wikipedia featuring a photo of a HP 9000 workstation running System V.

The PC in every Pokémon Center allows you to connect to Bill's and Prof. Oak's computers over the network, just like a workstation connected to the Internet in the early days. The source code to Pokémon Red (1996) implies we are using System V UNIX.

One of my D&D characters I play is pretty much just if you put Dela Delon from Brandish and Deedlit for Lodoss War into a blender (apperance-wise), and I worry when I finally get around to drawing her People Will Notice (she dresses more like Deedlit, but has hair more like Dela...)

Going on my first overseas business trip next month < :3c It'll be my first time flying alone

dont mind me im just taking a lil victory lap as an og hater

A press kit for Sunsoft, subtitled "Our imagination is limitless." It depicts an NES cartridge and its circuit boards flying through some kind of metal desert, watched over by a floating eye.

Hey Sunsoft, wh... what's going on here

Wow what a dynamic duo! 😾 🐑

Processing a collection and it includes the source code and build tools for "Bubble Bath Babes" on the NES. This feels like something stupid my brain would have come up with in a dream. This shouldn't exist anymore and it shouldn't be on my hard drive and I shouldn't be able to look at it.

a photo from the Cookie Blair doll, with a little ticket in her pocket, and Grey Rabbit in her hand

a certificate that the doll on the other image is a "Cookie's Bustle authorized product", serial number 0039

I'm not sure I've posted this on bluesky, and the recent renewed interest in Cookie's Bustle reminded me. Back in the day, you could buy an actual official Cookie doll from Rodik's online shop. I dug out these photos years ago from the mixi.jp social network.
