you and me both. i can make the third dot appear, but the second i look away from it the effect is gone. and now my eyes hurt!

since the kid presumably likes games and/or memes i would suggest starting with this beatle classic https://youtu.be/dJ1KaspORsE

kirby. kirby is my favorite antihero

my first instinct is to recommend DEVO

i’d love if they skipped ahead of TOS and did a show set in or after the movie era. bring on the monster maroons!

seconding Stargate Atlantis. all they needed was one more season, and the outline floating aroind the internet from one of the writers of what that would look like kicked ass

also have to say Super Android Metalder, which is a weird case- the show was cancelled and a rush ending was written, and then the show that was gonna take it’s place had delays so they ended up stretching out that rushed ending. that lead to a very wonky set of final episodes for a show that deserved much better

and PICO-8 devs!

i think threadiverse is the move. partly because it’s already in regular use and partky because it’s very self-explanatory. forumverse could have some legs to it now that more traditional forum software like nodebb and soon flarum support federation now, maybe it could refer to the broader category containing traditional forums and the threadiverse, but i feel like leaving out the “fedi” part kinda defeats the point (threadiverse at least partially maintains it by being a pun on it). maybe fediforums is the way to go?

it’s a whole 'nother can of worms but ironically in my experience the “verse” part of threadiverse is more offputting than the “thread” part because people think “metaverse,” but that’s just anecdotal and the term fediverse itself already has too much momentum to easily fall out of fashion

i’m definitely gonna wait until hori releases a joycon 2 pro set or whatever before getting a switch 2. even just the regular joycons are an ergonomic nightmare, and my hands are fucked up to the point where that makes the difference between whether or not i can play for more than five minutes. and even if they release a better mouse, if it’s not a vertical mouse then it’s the same issue. you’d think with the huge role computer inout devices play in out daily lives, ergonomics would be a bigger focus by everyone across the board!

Air Ride’s big differentiator was it’s City Trial mode, where instead of racing you drove around a city collecting upgrades and after a certain period of time only then do you race (or fight or do a minigame). the new Mario Kart’s free roam mode has some overlap with that conceptually but maybe it was a late enough addition and Air Riders was too far along to scrap or something, or maybe City Trial isn’t the focus of the new game and they’re trading places. it’ll be interesting to see!

people being nice online? god forbid!!!

i think gunpei yokoi called it “lateral thinking with withered technology” or something like that. it’s a lesson i wish the rest of the industry would learn- even “weak” computers today are capable of incredible things and we could be passing those savings to the customer or spending the extra budget on actual innovation Wii-style but no! more triangles!

“i don’t understand, we trained it on hours of the anime and it keeps using electric moves on rhydon!”

you can just subscribe to them all. that way, if one instance goes down, or dies out, or makes nonsensical moderation decisions, you still have the others. it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

it’s hard to tell the two apart these days because many cars have regular headlights that are as bright as normal high beams. there have been a few times i’ve been mad at someone behind me with their high beams on, and then they flash their actual high beams because they’re mad at me for not also speeding while blind

god, driving at night used to be so fun, now it’s ruined

what kind of software is available for windows nt powerPC? i figure being a different architecture you can’t just run x86 windows programs but my google fu is failing to find anything i can

stack overflow

there’s no one easy fix to the rancid sociopolitical climate in the US but a Tim Hortons on every corner would certainly go a long way

so long as Nintendo remains a more niche player
