i often wonder about the value of very specific files that i keep around. im one of those people who has the entirety of old hard drives from 20+ years ago that were dropped into folders that persist to my current hard drive. so whenever i'm running backups i see the files going by. files which are called things like "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4.msi" and like. in theory somebody might need that one day. but how would they know that i, of all people, have it? how would i reach them

hey what's up, me and @fireh9lly made a videogame. it's free and there's a funny skeleton guy https://axile.itch.io/gatefold

When I say that @fireh9lly wrote a soundtrack for Chymicalia that runs the gamut, I'm really not kidding. (The musical brief for the ringtone was: "I can't afford to licence Nelly's Hot In Herre.")

i think a lot about how apparently, someone visiting pink floyd's studio in the mid-70s noticed they had several minimoogs set up with gaffer tape all over them, because when they got a sound they liked, they'd put the tape over the knobs so the settings wouldn't get changed, and invoice the record label for another fresh minimoog. i think this is how you're actually supposed to manage python software installations, just buy a new computer every time you finally get the correct packages set up

yes
lmao
