It's the 31 Days of Archiveween! Every day I share a scary alter from the archives until you beg me to stop (I will never stop).

Today's Archiveween post is Path to Exile, from art by Sam Smith for the Criterion release of Nobuhiko Obayashi's "House" (1977)

happy birthday, monty

The phrase “This is of course our Golden Age“ needs to become a meme quick

"There's no reason to spend all your time and money raising bees, just use this one easy trick called Economic Specialization"

Obviously there's plenty of reasons to make things yourself sometimes, but the way these videos frame it as "an easy trick" always makes me laugh

I love life hack videos in which the "easy trick" is way more time and effort then just buying something at a store. "There's no reason to ever buy honey again, just use this one trick to get all the honey you'll ever need" All you got to do is spend lots time and money getting into bee keeping!

Travel Forecast for Thursday as generated by the Weather Star 4000+ emulator. At the bottom my humidity of 7% and dew point of 21°F. Everything is washed out like an analog NTSC television image, which I did by overlaying shaderglass with an NTSC shader.

Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location?

Screencap from Elder Scrolls Oblivion. A dialog box says "How long would you like to sleep? 9 Hours."

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

Adventure Mode An unofficial rules engine for the world's greatest card game. - Card-Forge/forge

Card Forge's Adventure mode is basically Shandalar 2, but it's still a work in progress github.com/Card-Forge/f...

Growing up I really thought nicknames would be a bigger part of my adult life. Every show and movie I watched as a kid had a character named "Spud" or "Spike" or something. But now as an adult I call 99% of my friends and family by their given names, and I'm so disappointed.

I'm not much of a sports fan, but even I found this genuinely thrilling.

The reason I went back to making Balatro 3 months after I essentially gave it up in March 2022 was because I was bored but the internet was out so I couldn't play Rocket League

🍾 Happy 100th anniversary to The New Yorker 🎉

Here's an updated version of a poster I first threw together a couple years ago depicting every cover to date. For the anniversary, that's 5,056 covers.

Enjoy! Subscribe! Support the amazing illustrators who produce these incredible covers.

This is great! Any insight into the color trends? It seems like the 70s were very green and then the 80s were very pale, etc. Is that just a stylistic trend or did printing technology play a part?

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Every time I see a news headline about the Philly DA race my brain tries to pronounce it as DUH RACE

I think it's actually kind of cute that the new robot vacuum I got mistook a full length mirror for a door to another room.
