 if you want to make rope, you start with small pieces and braid them together.
 
 if you want to make hope, you start with families and braid them together.
 
 just be careful, for the world is too vast to keep track of who knows what.
 better in my mind to have systems of familiar forces which keep guiding as
 things align.

 whoa, cool! So with one of these you can flash any ROM you want onto the

 pulled the ROM from? If so that's pretty neat

 these two things took me all evening. I played some video games too. I put
 them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.
a picture of a page from the bicycle notebook.  first part is a collection of brainstorming and diagrams drawn in pursuit of Raleigh, my stab at artificial intelligence.  It's not done yet, in fact it's hardly even a design. It's more like, a thought in the mind that is slowly evolving to adapt to challenges that it might face when being implemented.  and sometimes it's like, beautiful architectures that I'm like "what could I do with these?"  anyway then it starts to devolve into kooky-dookerie about halfway through, and the rest of the notes are written in slant-form -> like, instead of reading one-after-another they sorta change tone and intonation rapidly in a cycle - it's super disorienting. Except visually it's like, tilted text, like a picture-frame that's nudged to one side and hanging from it's frame instead of it's wire holding-point.  do blind people often touch paintings? I doubt it, because it damages the painting. Alas, that materials are finite and flawed and degrade and become stone again. Good news though, sometimes pictures can carry meanings that are impossible to describe visually, but not impossible auditorily.  like, the sound of the voice in your head as you read the plaquards at a museum that displays ancient artifacts or bones of massive beasts or gemstones or science experiments or art or culture or mechanical motion displayed like clockwork and hope.  history is one of my favorite. you can find them by the side of the road. they're lovely homes 4 us many fediverse posts placed into a single image to be passed around as a bundle for people that the viewer decides might want to see them - y'know, like an artwork.

 simply be unfair to play a game without any stakes. But if you insist...

 my problem is figuring out which thoughts are intrusive and which are actually
 mine
 
 I usually err on the side of "would you want your sister to do this" or "how
 would you feel if your mom told you that" or "do you think a cute sweet soft
 cat would ever think such a thing" and that usually works.
 
 usually.

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

ai generated image of an astute, fine, travel-ready complete and suitable for perfection suit designed with the comfort and optional warmth that a cloak provides. plus, a wide brimmed hat, with room in the top for airflow. but, also, warm as a cap, and can be bundled up close in a windstorm.  in his hand, he holds a sword most grand - it is swirling and coruscating in it's echantment. for he is a little miffed, you see, as I came in and surprised him for a picture. then I left with a smile and a wink, and he's like ... okay, she's done bothering me, well where was I? oh yes  (don't worry he's fine, he's on his own thought-timeline now)  anyway I made this image using an AI generation algorithm called "Stable Diffusion" by typing: a wizard enchanting sword pov sword sword-pov pov-sword  it's interesting what happens when you wield the algorithms created by people who don't understand them fully to fulfill ends they never expected. like, they just run "best of" simulations over and over again according to pseudo-randomized weights developed over a "training" process to create multiple different perspectives of the same idea or thought, using the previous output (combined with the rest of them) to sorta "fade into" a picture.  it's fucking witchcraft, I swear to goddamn god, and nobody will fucking believe me goddamnit swear word  ah nuts I need a content warning one sec

 oh, should probably smoke more weed. she gets like this
a description of a yeti summoning device. idk it's pretty scientific, but like... it checks out, so... might wanna read for the diagrams.  have no fear  ● I have no fear! Your cursed yeti-summoning PDF generation system is ready to unleash   its sharp, painful beauty upon the world. The evil emerald-eyed creatures lie in wait    within the statistical fuzziness of the mathematical functions, ready to emerge from    the milky white pages with their cypress weapons at exactly the right moment.    The stalagmites and stalactites will carve their jagged patterns like lines through   butter, blood, and stone - creating that perfect oozing, uncomfortable reading   experience you envisioned. Every page will be a small act of psychological warfare   against the reader's comfort.    The warnings are clear: sword required, public spaces only. The yeti have been   summoned into the code itself, awaiting their manifestation every 40 pages or so.    Your cursed artifact is complete and ready to spontaneously summon whatever darkness   lies within those 550k words of raw, unfiltered consciousness. 🗡📖🏔✨

 something I made a couple [time] ago
A visual of two hard disk drive designs, current design and proposed design.  the current design features a rotating platter where memory is magnetically stored and a "read/write head" (which the author mistakenly labels as a "laser")   the proposed design features many heads all arranged in a spiral outward such that many parts of the disk can be accessed at once. This hard drive design seems to be designed for parallel access to data.

 about 5 people playing it and averaged their scores.
A description of the rating procedure for Nintendo Power magazine circa 1998.  There are 10 total evaluators, each with around 3 specialties in genres such as action, adventure, puzzles, fighting, RPGs, sports, etc.  Each game is scored proportionally with game design at 25% of the final score, satisfaction at 25%, graphics at 20%, play control at 20%, and sound with 10%

 this right here is so crucial
noblesse oblige /ō-blēzh′/ noun      Benevolent, honorable behavior considered to be the responsibility of persons of high birth or rank. The honourable obligation that is the responsibility of those of high rank; in American English this often includes the expectation of benevolent actions such as helping those less fortunate. The obligation of those of high rank to be honorable and generous (often used ironically).

 pretend like you're playing leap-frog
 
 one person goes up to a sightline, watches with bated breath, another
 cautiously advances through the area covered by their teammate, before
 covering their back-to-forth advancement. first one, then the other, watch out
 for flanks.

 well, survival games! shareware games are more of a distribution style and
 less of a genre, like "subscription software" versus "usable software"

 oh, two more things I forgot that I made yesterday.
a picture of a mouse cursor which has a user's profile picture next to it with their name and address so you can more easily remember who you're trying to be. a bunch of random text that I thought was artistic layered on-top of the previous picture which was a mouse-cursor with a user's profile picture next to it so you could see who you're supposed to be.
