I don't remember hearing about them at the time, but Ernie just linked to this long feature about Pizza's rise and fall the other day and it's great bsky.app/profile/erni...

Maze Craze's brightly colored randomized maze with a little blue character

Two tanks fight in an abstract playfield with obstacles in Combat

Two floating eyes and a ghost in a black hallway in Haunted House

A castle corridor in Adventure with the character eaten by the dragon

Exactly. There were good 2600 games and bad 2600 games, and the graphics barely mattered. Gameplay was everything. My favorites were all laughably abstract: Maze Craze, Combat, Haunted House, Adventure...

The surprise at the end of Cabel's talk was a personal highlight of 12 years of running XOXO, a secret quietly hiding on stage for the entire festival. Nobody knew what was coming but @cabel.panic.com, @andymcmillan.com, me, and venue/event staff. It was a surprise even to all the other speakers.

Ralphs sign in Granada Hills, CA in 1965. A red cursive script logo on a space age sign with silver spheres and a marquee that reads "New Concept in Super Markets"

Woman with dozens of genetic Ralphs products like potato chips, toothpaste, and mixed nuts in their iconic white and blue packaging

John Lyndon in front of a bunch of Ralphs generic products, smoking a cigarette and drinking a generic beer. Probably promoting Public Image Ltd's "Album" (1986), which features the same design

They should go back to their old logo, and bring back their iconic "plain-wrap" design while they're at it. Would be a huge hit.

conversely, anyone who uses discord's light theme should be automatically age-verified

speaking of bad opsec, here's Epstein in 2007 reporting to Yahoo support that his accounts were hacked, revealing his super-strong passwords in the process

Is this mostly self-hosted models? I can't imagine anyone in their right mind spending money on tokens for LLMs to chat with each other. (Maybe "in their right mind" is the key factor here.)

wrong person, sorry! I've never seen that site before

Maybe my favorite game of last year. Can't recommend it enough.

Have you played Type Help yet? Not technically a spooky hotel, but very spooky hotel-adjacent!

In 2018, they started deleting every video from free "Basic" accounts (i.e. 99% of accounts) that exceeded a newly-imposed 5GB storage limit. That loss is impossible to calculate.

thanks!

am I missing the link to the interview?
