Strategy First remains one of the laziest publishers on Steam. Their digital release of Vera Jones on Steam contains MY translation that I have made 8 years ago - word for word, including the typos and bad grammar!

It isn't illegal for them to do so, but they could at least send me a free copy.

Huh? No, retro operating systems are like, OS X Tiger and Snow Leopard, right? High Sierra and Mavericks are still pretty new...

"An old woman once assailed demetrius as he was passing by, and demanded many times that he give her a hearing. "i have no time," said demetrius. "then dont be king," screamed the old woman. Demetrius was stung to the quick, and after thinking upon the matter, went back to his house, and postponing everything else for several days devoted himself entirely to those who wished audience of him, beginning with the old woman who had rebuked him"

once again thinking of this random old lady from hellenistic greece

It's not "retro tech" it's "something that works without needing an update/internet connection/another sodding account and probably takes standard batteries too"

Unhoused Mississippians Fear ‘Nowhere to Go’ Under New Laws Two state laws targeting the homeless population that went into effect July 1 are raising concerns across Mississippi.

“If anybody’s out in public, and they have a backpack and the police come and just take the backpack and throw it away, that would be a possible violation of your rights,” said Joshua Tom, legal director of the ACLU of Mississippi.

Meanwhile I've been leaking so much about the game I've been working on, the whole thing could probably be reconstructed from my discord messages lmao

Ooh. Spicy. Looking forward to the developments :D

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes "network paranoia" has led them to use Q5. "It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo, Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as "generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael Reaves. As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and "no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

I couldn't shrock a glask if I even wanted to earn a pistash, man. it's like one day you touch purple, and the next day the whole block's Wario.

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

Yenifer Colca,
Picks up the remote, on her couch, and decides what to stream...
Not what it seems;
Waits at the window,
To enter the password she keeps in a book on the floor...
Who is it for?

all i'm saying is we've never seen the install wizard and the webmaster in the same room before

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
