9 million Mastodon accounts is extremely likely this month.

According to my math, an average of 1,115 new accounts per hour over the next 10 days would be needed to reach this milestone.

During the last hour, 1,780 new Mastodon accounts were made.

Good. if we can have Linux as a viable alternative for games everyone wins.

I just bought my second most expensive game ever.
Had a search alert on the bay for almost 2 years and today it was triggered.
These situations usually only happen when I vow to spend less money on #retrogaming stuff.🙄
It's gonna take until the end of 2022 for it to arrive, so just before my new year's resolution to spend less money on retrogaming stuff.😄

I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

@gpowerf @savetz Any OS, really. The game is an Infocom style game in "Z3" format, which means it comes as a downloadable .z3 file. To play the game, you just open that file in any number of Z-Machine interpreters available for free for lots of platforms. Here are some popular ones:

A reminder that your writing doesn't need to be profound or touch upon heavy topics to matter. It can be fun and absurd and lighthearted and silly. Its sole purpose may be to make someone laugh. And we need more of that in the world.

Saw this chart on the other site. I found it useful, and am thankful to the author ( @axborn@social.xbm.se ) for making it. #mastodon #fediverse

If anyone wants to beta test the Infocom-style text adventure game I'm cobbling together for @savetz, hit me up for the link to download the game and feelies. It's called Dorm and is a game about attending a KansasFest-style retro computing event. Everyone welcome.

While not super well remembered, or as highly regarded as the SP, I still find the Gameboy Micro to be an utterly gorgeous bit of hardware that exudes charm from all angles: the colors, the faceplates, the backlit screen, the button feel... everything was so premium and is worth being a collector piece as much as a daily driver for GBA games

Also, Game & Watch Gallery 4 was the best one. This and the system deserve much more love than they ever got
