Impossible Possible Worlds

I heard that tumblr died in 1966 and was replaced with a lookalike.

I’m currently kind of doing this in glowfic with a setting with a strong gender skew (along with regular sexism). Generic ‘she’ that occasionally gets awkwardly corrected, person who thinks she’s very smart for not trying to put her male employee in a salesboy role even though he’s pretty, that sort of thing. It’s fun.

i’m sad -> i look at images of my ~40 year old man of choice -> i twirl my hair and kick my legs -> i think crazy thoughts -> i feel okay -> rinse repeat

bot that replies with “you did not need to go as hard as that!!!” on random posts

You did NOT need to go as hard as that!!!

yes I did babe!

I don't believe it is possible to formulate a human society along any ideological principles that are sufficient to prevent the system from being broken by a total bastard being in charge. In societies designed to prevent anyone from ever being in charge — eg, in which government/civil service is determined by random lottery — then, naturally, the total bastard will take control of the lottery mechanism. For every foolproof invention made by man God sends a new and improved Fool.

Folks tend to talk about fidelity in retro game visual design in terms of adhering to the limitations of particular consoles, but I think keeping in mind where they weren't limited is at least as important. When a console could do something that previous console generations – or its current competitors – couldn't, its developers tended to want to show that off, and while these effects are often thoroughly unremarkable to contemporary audiences, they're a big part of each console's distinctive "feel". For example, the NES only had one tilemap plane, but it could decide whether to render sprites behind or in front of it on a per-sprite basis, so you get a lot of games with complicated set-piece levels where the player character walks behind a foreground object. The Super Nintendo, conversely, could do multiple independently scrolling tilemaps for not a lot of resoruces, so Super Nintendo games that are trying to wow players with their visuals love themselves some multi-plane parallax. This sort of "hey, look what we can do" showboating is just as essential to a console's visual identity as having the right number of entries in your colour table.
