    1982: The Final Stretch
    If you look at Jason Dyer’s blog, he’s been at 1982 for three years with no signs of finishing it yet, and he seems to show no signs of reaching 1983. — MorpheusKitami in a comment on The Adventure Gamer blog Believe it or not, we are getting close to the end of 1982. This is my final list. If any games show up after this point they can go …

    Cincinnati’s Poorhouse Kept The Impoverished Out Of Sight And (Mostly) Out Of Mind
    It was once a ubiquitous cliché in your own home or on your favorite TV sitcom: Beleaguered Dad, in the middle of a pile of bills, yells, “You’re sending me to the poorhouse!”Do fathers still yell that? Does anyone even remember poorhouses? It is long forgotten now, but Cincinnati maintained a poorhouse for more than a century out in Hartwell where today stands the UC Health Daniel Drake Center for …

    BASS 2024: Alexandra Chang, “Phenotype” from Electric Literature #585
    A Circumzenithal Arc We have all met – or have been – someone who is very quiet and seemingly withdrawn in a social situation. It can be easy to dismiss, forget, or ignore these quiet people. But I’ve found that some of the quietest people I know have the strongest opinions, observations, and forces of will. Judith is such a person. She’s easily misunderstood and cast as unaware, boring, and …

    You Can’t Fail Unless You Try: NASA’s Pioneer P-3 Lunar Orbiter
    Space enthusiasts of a certain age, like myself, grew up learning about the trio of NASA’s unmanned programs which provided scientists and engineers with vital information about the Moon before the Apollo landings: Ranger which took TV images of the lunar surface before they were purposely crashed into the Moon; Lunar Orbiter which acquired high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface to scout out potential Apollo landing sites; and Surveyor which …

    How I feel about AI
    I love AI. I love how magical LLMs are. Just by predicting what word comes next, they can impersonate a real person. They have more personality than the computer in Star Trek. They also make more mistakes. I'm frustrated with AI. I try to use them for programming, and end up going down a rabbit hole based on a hallucination. The confidence of an LLM becomes my over-confidence. I get …

    UFOMO - UFO 50 & The Fear of Missing Out
    I was looking forward to playing UFO 50.An anthology of 50 fictional 8-bit-style games, it sounded like the perfect thing to dip in and out of between the longer, more demanding games that seem to eat up so much of my time these days.I consider anything over 15 hours to be long and demanding, and am right to do so.Anyway, I'm not playing UFO 50, and that's because it's currently …

    I’ve Been Thinking About a Switch to the Fairphone 5
    I've recently been thinking about a switch to the Fairphone 5, but after some research, I'm not sure it's worth it? I ditched Android around 6 years ago now, and since then I've been very happy with iOS, but over the last couple of months, I've been thinking about a move back to Android, specifically the Fairphone 5. The rationale here is that phones are extremely expensive, they don't last …
