  • For years I thought Raspberry Beret by Prince was actually Raspberry Parade. I had only ever heard the song through tinny garbage store speakers so forget about hearing the verses of the song. All I knew was that there was this wacked out chick that held a raspberry parade she had found in a second hand store that may have been acquired by coming in through the out door.

    I just chalked it up to goofy 80s lyrics.




  • Nice to see SimCity 3000 on there. I know 4 is more feature complete. Especially with all the mods available for it. But there’s a certain atmosphere to 3000 that I just enjoy more.

    Fun fact SimCity 3000 wasn’t even playable for a few years because the DRM was so invasive that Windows blocked it as a security threat.



  • The big draw for him might be Minetests moddability. All of a games content is in .lua files and it can be modified with just a basic text editor. An easy thing to do would be to change the mining time of a pickaxe or change the number of planks you get from a wood block. If he really gets into it, it’s possible to create a game from the ground up without relying on the base Minetest Game.

    Best bet would be to set him up with the Minecraft clone game. This can be done by going to the Content tab in the menu. Select Browse Online Content. On the second page is Mineclone2.







  • CSS isn’t for nerds. Nerds are smart.

    Seriously it took them like 20 years to reimplement table based layouts in the form of grid. In between we were stuck playing the devils Tetris stacking boxes on top of each other and trying to float all that garbage to produce janky, buggy layouts that would crumble apart when resized.





  • Just because they’re currently out of the 24hr news cycle doesn’t mean they’ve disappeared or don’t have an influence on current events. Actually I think half of them still regularly are the subject of articles. We still regularly see news stories regarding Taliban mismanagement of Afghanistan. Saudi financing of extremists and old prince bonesaw’s antics have definitely had an impact on relations with other nations and is likely the reason for their reconciliation with Iran recently. I think I just read an article last week about deforestation in Brazil. Same with stories about microplastics and ongoing research into that.

    This picture is just an argument out of ignorance. Hardly surprising since it’s just some feels guy cancer.
