I had a passion for them, and I bookmarked the most well developed of them all. I probably played hundreds of games, no clue how many. Maybe even thousands, I did it for what felt like years. since like... age 7 until 11 or 12 there's nothing that can compare to it today. maybe itch.io but they're more involved typically. increases the barrier to enter, plus they cost dollars. we used to make this stuff in our spare time. where did all our spare time go? ah, right, that's what happens when you actually invest in computer education. you have kids running linux on their laptops. you get flash game designers. you get soldering junkies and electric engineers and networking and dev-ops security system facilitators and various other computer related things besides. ... what was I saying? oh yes when you invest in education, there's more to se ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4881 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────── one section of the government consistently and succeedingly telling another part what to do is a coup-like behavior. if the rules mean nothing, then what is your job even for? hence, why the rules mean something. Because your job is important. It's building up our capabilities as the human race. you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just... work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to solve them again! enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a moon style structure. like... wouldn't it be neat if coruscant could do hyperdrives? I wonder if hyperspace is real. Ah, well, that's for the future, they can pass it along if they get a chance. Anyway for now I think I want a chance to dance. OLED screens are incredibly cool to me. The idea that a pixel could "turn off" and put less photons into the atmosphere is wild to me.
