She looks way better than I do driving it.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the only movie in the Rocky series that doesn't feature Sylvester Stallone.

And finally the hint book! 📔

The guide also lists all the objects in the game (where to find them and where to use them), the maze map, the connections between each airport and Zak McKracken's notebook.

Or should I say Francis Zachary McKracken! 🥸

If the Founding Fathers were so smart why are they dead?

With the rise of ChatGPT I’ve completely given trying to figure out if a person responding to one of my posts is a bot or not.

I'm just gonna drop this here.

I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I hear MIDI sound
I said, ooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, MIDI's the one I trust

With the #TwitterMigration going on, I guess it's as good as any to post a new #introduction (lost the old one when moving instances a few weeks ago)

Hello!
Here's Spook, a retrocomputing tinkerer in my late twenties. I collect and fix all sorts of old things - computers, consoles, PDAs, audio equipment... but as my instance's name suggests, my main focus is on m68000-based machines, mainly #Amiga and #X68000.
I have a trusty assistant and sidekick, Laser the rabbit, you'll see him a lot on my profile.

I'm also an Amiga demoscene coder at the Ghostown group

When I'm bored with computers, I dabble in knitting and learning Japanese (with various degrees of success).

Welcome to the Fediverse, remember it's supposed to be fun and don't pay much attention to people posting walls of text about "what's the *correct* way to enjoy it".

Feel free to hit me up anytime~

Norway wants Facebook behavioural advertising banned across Europe.

Norway has told the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) it believes a countrywide ban on Meta harvesting user data to serve up advertising on Facebook and Instagram should be made permanent and extended across Europe.

I understand and sympathize with the Manhattan Borough president trying to get public agencies to invest in building a following in places other than X, but advocating for it to happen on Threads without even acknowledging that this just puts them at the whims of a *different* private company seems shortsighted at best.

Does he simply not know the fediverse exists, I wonder?

I wanted to see if ChatGPT could put me out of the job, so I asked it to write a funny fake fact. To my surprise, it literally just plagiarized one of my own facts. Nearly word for word. I'd say my position remains safe for now.
