Look, I first had to hand-assemble this lasercut moorΓ© Christmas decoration from 100%FAT so now I better get some time to fidget with it!

Oooh! Tempted to figure out how to setup a retro BBS (seems more fun than using the dos version) and trying this for myself. Christmas project! πŸ₯°

First (async) remote multiplayer experience I had at home. πŸ₯° My parents made me get my own landline largely because of this game and the phone bills it caused.

A screenie of the DOS version with ANSI graphics of a towering dragon in black against a scarlet sky. Legend of the Red Dragon is spelled out in graphic text. The town square hub menu with a green and purple menu of text commands for many places to go and things to do such as visit the forest, make announcement, go to king arthurs weapons, list warriors, daily news. And slaughter other players! PVP! Going through the forest, a place for combat to grind of experience and gold. A header of cute ansi art of trees can be seen against a stonework banner Abdul's Armour, with an 'amazingly attractive looking female' behind the counter doing her nails. A graphic of a silver knights helmet with visor can be seen. Choices are Buy Armour, Sell Armour, Your Stats, Return to Town.

Someone mentioned 'Legend of the Red Dragon' on my post about BBS's, and yeah, this seems to be one of the more famous 'Door games'.

RPGing hack-n-slash adventure in 1992 for DOS with a tongue-in-cheek flair. Reminds me of browser stuff I'd play in '05 like Kingdom of Loathing and AdventureQuest.

Are any of my mutuals on Strava?

I am trying to pick up running again to help me through a rough patch, and frankly, I could use some camaraderie on there πŸ˜„.

The photo shows the back of a pink hoodie stretched over a small table. Stamps resembling book spines line the bottom, one stack of books has a teacup on top. Above the row of books is a stamp of an open book with sparkles coming out of the pages.

I made my pink hoodie cooler. I just have to wait for it to dry… (it’s oil based ink so it will take awhile.)

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like β€œcheck out this dancing turtle I made out of divs πŸ₯°β€

If you are going to WHY, make sure you don't miss this!

If you are a tech / hacking lover and somehow not going to WHY ... why the heck not?

(I personally don't handle camping well, otherwise I would be all over this πŸ’–)

5 a day gets me slightly paranoid. 7+ makes me see the secret forces of the universe and they are out to get me, good thing I am faster than light now. Also no sleep and stomach ache.

Hahahaha, nice!! πŸ˜„

Shadowing artifacts and light bleeding everywhere. Slit camera effect on leaf shadows. Still amazed that corners of rooms are visible, so many bounces and HDR
to get there. Every old pharmacy sign or ow tech digital display: I bet we could make that scroll. πŸ’–
