Grok has said disparaging things about Elon Musk so I’m assuming it’s going to be disappeared to El Salvador soon.

GitHub Copilot about to be clocking some overtime on COBOL conversions.

Played it again for like the 10th time on like the 5th system I have it on it and it absolutely holds up. This time around it was the OG SNES on a Steam Deck. The original cartridge, box, instructions and everything are in a box in the basement, but that cartridge has been across the country and back with me every since I bought it through a mail order company that had its ads in EGM.

Chrono Trigger is damn near perfect. The closest I’ve gotten to reliving that game in my adult life is Sea of Stars, which I also highly recommend as it is very clearly inspired by CT.

That’s her alt, still 6

Most musicians will never record anything in their musical careers. Most musicians are amateurs who won’t go beyond open mics, bonfires, and coffee shops. Many won’t even go there and prefer to remain bedroom players.

I’m one of those musicians who does the open mic stuff and occasional shows, been in pickup bands and rocked some faces, but I have no illusions as to my place in the musical strata of the world. Most of us will never go anywhere with a musical career, but for the vast majority of us, it’s a hobby and a pastime, not a career goal. As a musician, I know I make a pretty good computer programmer, and I’m fine with that, but I can’t imagine not making music.

Music for music’s sake.

No soap, radio!

Parasite Eve was Square, mind you, back when they were still called Squaresoft.

Many languages, one name: ISO

Because “International Organization for Standardization” would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders opted for the short form “ISO”. The story goes that ISO is derived from the Greek word “isos”, meaning equal.

Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO.

It’s from the short story “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream”by Harlan Ellison .

Nah it’s probably legit. Trump is famous for eating like trash. His usual order is reported to be two Big Macs and a Filet-o-fish, but I only see one Big Mac on his tray so maybe he’s on a diet.

Ripley canonically had a daughter named Amanda who died while Ripley was in stasis between Alien and Aliens. Amanda Ripley is the player character in Alien: Isolation.
