What Steve Jobs learned in exile from Apple A failure at age 30, Jobs reinvented himself and Apple in his early 40s

I often wondered what Steve Jobs learned during his exile from Apple that made him so much more effective in the late 1990s than he had been in the 1980s. It turns out it was just one adjustment in the way he talked. You can make the same adjustment. #retrocomputing dfarq.homeip.net/what-steve-j...

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post!

a title card for my game sale rec thread, that says THE SPACETWINKS REC THREAD: YET ANOTHER COLLECTION OF WEIRDASS SHIT, FOR YOU, rendered in classic CGA colors. on the left is a picture of my kangaroo fursona, and behind it are pieces of art and screenshots from various games that will be featured in the thread.

you already know what's up

(summer game sale rec thread is what's up)

as always, i focus primarily on more obscure, older, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

with that out of the way: onwards!

This image humorously illustrates the difference between design and user experience (UX) using a real-life setting. There’s a paved sidewalk, neatly constructed and labeled “Design” – representing how something was intended to be used. Next to it is a dirt path, worn into the grass from frequent use, labeled “User experience” – showing how people actually choose to interact with it because it's the more direct and convenient route.

Just a quick reminder:

Build features that people will use, not just the ones you think they might like. 😃

Deep breaths. Let me play some soothing ukulele for you while I teach you how to disable message previews on your phone so cops and nosy roommates can’t see who is messaging you even when your phone is locked 😘

A Windows 3.1 window. The title bar says "About Murder" and the body says "Murder is not generally advisable." with a little bloody knife to the left of it and an OK button at the bottom center
