@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org “best viewed in a rusty nail” just sounds weird to me, though.

Today I learned that onions are a sulfur-rich food. You can experience this yourself if you caramelize down roughly seven onions and eat half the batch in one sitting. Try not to do this if you’re going to be around people with functioning noses.

Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.

Something being ‘natural’ might make fixing it more difficult, but it is not an excuse not to fix it. If inequity & injustice are ‘natural’ – i.e., happen without conspiracy – that just makes it more important to fight them.

The thing about FMV is that it’s a lot tougher to make a full FMV game all by yourself than it is to make a VN that way. To make a VN on your own, you just need to be a programmer, musician, author, and visual artist.
