@roka I love when telemarketers call because it's like a license to fuck with them.

I used The Most Dangerous Game as a test for my NES compression library.

If you feel like reading a story on your NES, the ROM is here:

Can someone not on retro.social verify that they see this post?

I spent like 30 minutes in Best Buy with the employees and I using our phones to look up different numbers on the box to try to figure out which model it was until I eventually just bought it and opened it in store to check.

fuck Linksys and their opaque packaging on the AC1200+ EA6350. I had no idea which revision it was when I bought it and I specifically needed v3 for its Qualcomm chipset.

2 bricked routers later and I'm back from internet gay baby jail

Unfortunately the caller was not indian, but their sigh as they hung up was delicious.

My plan with that call center call didn't go entirely as planned but the reaction was still very satisfying.

A call woke me up from my afternoon nap, so I pressed one and as soon as they were on the line I asked them if they were interested in playing some pubg after they get off work.
(context being that apparently many locales in india are banning the game and are even arresting people who play it in public)

and now today my minetest server isn't announcing on the server list for some reason.

hey cool my minetest server is finally announcing on the server list. I have no idea what I changed about my network.

Who the fuck are you anyway EFF? Why are you stirring up so much trouble and who pays you?

@thomasfuchs What exactly am I looking at here? Is this basically just some frames of a short animation being played back on a C64?

@jeff frankly I'd rather my mother die peacefully in her sleep than some of the other ways she could go.

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz thanks, and no worries. Keep busy and so you can play hard when you're done.
