“Well, at least they seem to be creating an industry that will value safety and quality workmanship above all else.”

Featuring the Ax Battler! The famous… swordsman.

“Now all you have to do is spend the rest of your life keeping it real!”

That’s the one!

He’s not actually a fish… he’s just playing koi.

Aye, laddie!

I had an ASCII Grip for the original Playstation that I really loved. It was a one-handed controller that I mostly used to play RPGs, and although it took a little getting used to, I eventually got so comfortable with it I could menu faster with the Grip than with a normal pad!

There was a sequel posted to Mastodon – mouse got a bike ride after all 😄

It’s a zen parable, so… yes.

Wunderbar!

Cool, I learned a Spanish word today!

I don’t have a problem with simplified versions of texts – archaic language, ornamented prose, and obsolete cultural references shouldn’t stand in the way of someone having access to the ideas contained in great literature.

It’s a skilled profession that already doesn’t get the credit it deserves, and I worry AI will eclipse human work with voluminous inferior results.

Two monks were passing by a little pond where there were some ducks, and the first monk said, “Look at how happy those ducks are!”

The second monk said, “You are not a duck. You can’t know if they are happy.”

The first monk replied, “You are not me. You can’t know that I cannot.”

Look, I don’t make the rules.

Just the signs 😉
