It's really funny that Nintendo didn't make a Virtual Boy emulator for the 3DS when that's almost literally the only place (in their consoles) where a rerelease of the games would've made sense lol

@alex @lxak loved this.

@lxak is this an instance of toots galore
Of iambic pentameter and nothing more?
I’m quite impressed by this idea,
And hope more in time to hear.

@steeph hmmmm ... Offline first?

@vidak Or maybe not all the time. Although not at all would also mean a huge increase in security.

@akkartik I dunno I was just watching this Xbox have A Laggy Time recently, and I had never seen Debian do anything like that before. I've never seen a thing choke up and need to restart like that Xbox.

Another thought I had is that, maybe permacomputing is refusing to connect your laptop to the internet?

Windows is the biggest piece of bloat.

Seriously I think maybe all we have to do is get people to install Linux or BSD or whatever and people will just be blown away how much faster it is.

Maybe it is that simple.

I'm always like... Waddami gonna do next??

would u rather get 5 million dollars in a year 

or get a dollar in 5 million years

it’s cool to be a wizard but it’s cooler having good friends

youth of the apocalypse

God says to an angel: "it is time, sound the trumpets of the apocalypse!"

angel: "ok boss!"

the angel plays the trumpet. the noise annoys the human people.

a rock hits the angel's forehead. it stops playing the trumpet.

the people shout at the angel: "SHUT UP ANNOYING CUNT"

This is Diabaig, a roguelike game, built for DOS using OpenWatcom and pdcurses. It requires a 32-bit CPU and 4 MB memory to run.

Diabaig home page
<https://conornally.itch.io/diabaig>

Back when tigers used to smoke, the Great Halls of Diabaig were home to a thriving civilisation. However, few records survived the ensuing fires when a dragon moved in. Descend to the depths of Diabaig, carefully navigate the twisting corridors and dangerous creatures and return with a tooth from the dragon's jaws.

Diabaig is a traditional turn-based ASCII roguelike where you are never more than a few mistakes away from death. Choose a starting class, find powerful items, and learn new spells and techniques to face increasingly dangerous adversity. You will discover many floors with rooms filled with unique creatures, magic scrolls, unknown potions and mighty weapons. Use everything at your disposal to survive as long as possible and defeat the dragon, but remember to keep enough spare for the return journey.
