@Techaltar you’d think there would be a… brazillion of those already 😅

I’m so sorry.

It's Blaze the Cat!
Many of you have enjoyed his photos for the past few years.
Last week swallowed a foreign object and we almost lost him. But we didn't.
The vet bills were substantial. I've made a GoFundMe to help.
Please only donate if you have the capacity.
(Boosts appreciated)

@pheonix I've only been following you for a few months now, but I've enjoyed your stuff! Really cool to see this pop off for you! Well deserved! Congrats!

Also, i want to add that i love the soft and pleasant design of the site!

If you're looking for a target next: Strava's webapp is miserable. I think a natural next step would be looking at services that use this shitty design to push subscriptions, but that are STILL BAD if you subscribe.

Do you enjoy old computers and live in the US Pacific Northwest? We're six weeks out from the first Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest since 2019!

We'd love to see you there and we'd love your help getting the word out. Boosts appreciated!

I had a really fucked up idea for a ROM-hack today - an "Enshittified" version of a classic game like Chrono Trigger. It could cut out one of the partner quests to "sell" as DLC. It could require an online connection. It could have "live service" elements to slowly introduce "new" items into the game over time, offer alternate "skins" MTX and of course the best items would be MTX as well.

PNW folks like @cabel might remember "The Mac Store" which was an Apple Reseller in the area that was part of a larger business called "Computer Stores NW" that also owned the web store "PowerMax" hosted at powermax.com but uh... what is going on there at that domain? Most of the links don't really do anything; they work, but are blank pages. The articles under "reviews" though seem to clearly be SEO spam. Is that the whole game? Maybe my ad-blocker prevents me from knowing.
