I had a dream about playing this open world racing game with a style of modernized early 3d graphics, it was fantastic.

Cover of “233 Celsius” by Ray Bradbury

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Today I learned that in Python while loops can have an 'else'.

I started watching Columbo.
It was one of those shows I would catch random parts of an episode when I was a kid. It holds up really well. It's much more watchable than, say, Murder She Wrote these days.

This might be the first time I feel sorry for a spider. It gets eaten alive by baby wasps...

Why are doctors so adamant about prescribing SSRIs even to people who get severe side effects from them?

Oh, it looks like Gemini is also starting to use emojis in its replies.

I get an error when trying to upload a video so here's a screenshot!

I haven't played any of those games (there's still time) but I have a lot of nostalgia for the PS2 demo of the first Splinter Cell. I used to play it over and over.

Door Door has the cutest Famicom box art. Prove me wrong.

I just finished the podcast Dear Alana and I'm crying (turns out I'm way more easily moved without antidepressants).
Totally recommended, please just go listen to it.

I tried for a few minutes the demo for the upcoming Star Trek Voyager game and I liked what I saw.
I won't spoil the experience any further and will wait for release.

I played Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for a few hours.
It's so fun! The problem is that I'm so terribly bad at it. I have no experience for this kind of turn based strategy. But I love the vibe and the exploration.

Oh, it's from the Ars Moriendi. Basically a manual that tells you how to have a good Christian death.

Such a great movie. I actually love the colorized versions of these monster movies, several of them are on YouTube.

Drew a random happy GameBoy guy.

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Well, that doesn't apply to me.

A literary Iguanodon at the Earth Sciences Library. Do any other libraries have dinosaurs or other antediluvian creatures carved into the furniture?

My first console wasn't a NES. It was a famiclone that stole my heart. It was everything 7-year-old me could have wished for.

I wrote about my first video game console.

Time Traveler (1991)
The arcade cabinet had a hologram-like projection. Must have been amazing seeing it in person.

Such a great movie. The monster looks way too cool — impressive for a 1950s production.

I love that they still put the hanafuda cards. 🎴

A mockup of what the game might look like. I'll let you guess what it's about...

This was the reason I bought a PS3 back in the day.

Opened the box of an old Android tablet I hadn't used in years: the screen popped up due to a swollen battery. Please don't explode. #techdecay

They talked about doing this here in EU as well but we're still waiting.

Mechte navstrechu (1963) — Music, spaceships, solar flares, crashes, sacrifices and dreams. This post contains spoilers for the movie.

I wrote about a soviet scifi movie. Check out the song that humans inadvertently send to aliens.

I just bought a pulse oximeter.
I feel like a child with a new shiny toy.
