The Dagger is a small, cheap blade weapon for stabbing enemies. The damage caused to enemies is based on the Agility of the player character. Being a basic weapon, daggers in the weapon shop are always identified for enchantments and curses, so you don't have to worry about your first weapon being cursed. But a Dagger in the dungeon might need closer inspection. Get The #ChambersBeneath from https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #roguelike #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Who would have thought that someone would finally release a #rougelike for the #JupiterACE ?!

the year is 2005. PHP is the easiest language to deploy on my apache server, since I just need to drop some files in, and not have to set up any new services.

I seem to be slowly gravitating towards Zettelkasten:

— I can’t write anything longer than a memory card

— I am a hypertext person, linking anything to everything

— And I slowly got to the point of needing memory supplements to exist as a writer

After reading https://blog.oddly-influenced.dev/2025/10/30/hypertext-zettelkasten.html I finally wondered if Zettelkasten might work for me. Except I don’t like the indexing talk and prefer exhaustive linking instead.

So my idea of Zettelkasten is a title-oriented sparse graph of short uncategorized HTML notes. And a tooling for managing these:

— Note appending script with Gemtext-like (or email https://aartaka.me/email-formatting.html like?) mobile-friendly text format (likely a Readline-enabled Lisp program, but it’s so simple it can be anything)

— OR a (JS-sprinkled) page on my website sending myself emails to process into notes afterwards

— Completion builder/indexer (an ed(1) script, basically creating a Readline completion file)

— A set of conventions for writing an index-less yet orderly notes (sloppy human language instructions)

None of these are written yet, of course. But with these in place, I can get to filling out my Zettelkasten and agonizingly realizing I don’t have much original thought and the idea was too ambitious in the first place.

Done with the #Minstrel4th and it's #alive 🥳

I still have the Tynemouth clocked serial module to finish so I can easily transfer data via serial I/O, but that can wait until tomorrow.

I'm so happy that this replica of the original #JupiterACE is working - can't wait to load some classic games tomorrow!!

Interesting to see an effort to build a closed federation network of fedi instances (using GoToSocial and Akkoma servers). I wondered how long it would take for somebody to take a stab at it! As somebody on IRC said: "it's like fedi but fewer arsehats"

Started building my #Minstrel4th today but ran out of high precision IC sockets ... *sigh*
