IMAX 3D ticket for Avatar: The Way of Water secured.

Bring on three hours of James Cameron water-based shenanigans!

@llamasoft_ox That's cheating! It was never released!

(I assumed it was the 7800)

International Time Keepers Scrap The Leap Second

The as-needed adjustment has caused decades of tech disruption. Now, by international vote, it's in its final years.

@gamesblackhole Tempest 3000 is the only Minter Tempest I've never played. Hopefully Nuon emulation becomes a thing at some point! Similarly obscure systems have managed to get full emulation, so you never know.

Dunno how it holds up, but Todd's Adventures in Slime World is legitimately one of my favorite games of all-time.

A friend of mine had two Lynx systems, and we played DM. You have no idea how tense it can be when you're halfway in a room, only to see a bomb fall from above.

Todd's Adventures in Slime World (Atari Lynx, 1990)

A little disappointed by the Lynx lineup in #Atari50, so I did some googling, and apparently Pixel Games UK is a company that's re-releasing Lynx classics on Steam, including Gates of Zenodocon, Electrocop, and even Todd's Adventures in Slime World!

Todd's Adventures in Slime World on Steam

In this classic gross-out platformer from the early 90s, take on the role of Todd the space explorer, who lands on a planet made entirely from slime and goo, and teeming with disgusting life forms, to search for precious slime gems.

@BrendanSinclair That was red flag number one for me.

Number two is that it appears to be image first, not text first. So leaning into more of an Instagram, than a Twitter.

That's a hard pass for me.

‘Love and Rockets,’ a Series that Helped Redefine Comics, Turns 40

With its Chicana punk rockers and panels of untranslated Spanish, “Rockets” was unlike anything else — and, it turns out, just what the world of comics was craving.

For a long time, when I'd read a comic with Lex Luthor in it, and he'd be... I dunno, conspiring with a guy who's super power is that he is mediocre at riddles, and maybe Solomon Grundy or someone like that, in order to launch their army of poison turtles into Metropolis, I'd scoff and say, "it's unrealistic that the world's richest man would waste his time and money on something that's only going to showcase to the world how incompetent he is."

I owe DC comics an apology.

Because I'm perfectly willing to try any alternative to the bird site, I tried Hive.

I only checked it out for about a minute, but it's not for me. It feels a lot like Instagram. Photo-first, not text first.

I don't want to be inundated with selfies.
