In honour of Bonnie Tyler passing away, let’s re-watch the “literal version” of Total Eclipse of the Heart!

The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
Oh hey, Fenris Creations (previously CCP) is open-sourcing a bunch of the code that powers EVE Online. Of course, the engine is more ~25 years old so I expect skeletons in there, but this is pretty cool. Maybe I should boot the game up and see what it looks like these days…
Anthropic: “Making tons of requests to a server in order to extract all its information should be illegal!”
What a bunch of deeply dishonest and selfish people. And now also, shockingly, untrustworthy.
I’m torn on the Foundation TV series. They expanded on the books with some good ideas and great production design. But also, why the fuck are Hari and Gaal still around a century later? Do the writers understand psycho-history at all? Why is there so much fantasy/destiny bullshit in my sci-fi?
I agree with Aftermath’s Luke Plunkett here about the end of physical video game discs. Yes, it’s a minor incremental change in practice. But it is a major milestone in our collective realization that the concept of “ownership” is being killed by big corporations. That’s what people react to.
GURPS turned 40 years old a couple days ago! I don’t have a complete GURPS collection, because that would be crazy, but I definitely have way more than anybody should reasonably have. Which sounds great if you ask me.
VanCAF haul! Great little comicbook convention once again. Thank you to all the artists who came.
VanCAF and Japadog, winning combo
In addition to being a rhubarb addict and chocolate zealot, I’m also a honey snob. It’s hard to find anything else than shitty liquid or creamed honey that just tastes like sugar. If I can’t taste what flower the honey was made from, I’m sorry but it’s crap.
While throwing away old CDs, I found a couple of very old cassettes from when I was a kid and didn’t have a CD burner to copy stuff! Here’s my copy of the soundtrack to the cult 1994 movie “The Crow”! Can’t do this shit with MP3 files.
