The unholy amount of time I spent playing this PC game... #meme #retrogaming #theincrediblemachine

For the curious: YES. The use of “Daisy Bell” in “2001: A Space Odyssey” (youtu.be/c8N72t7aScY?...) is a nod to its use at Bell Labs

I'm #GoingLive in a few minutes to play some #ContraptionMaker! It's a modernized follow-up to #TheIncredibleMachine series made by the same devs. Come heckle me as I wrack my brain over puzzles with obvious solutions.
