I never read the story, maybe that accounts for me liking it.

It is kind of a Twilight Zone ending, for good or ill.

In case you're in the same Windows 10 vs 11 predicament.

Windows 10 support ends tomorrow, but here's how to get an extra year for free

Thanks to Extended Security Updates, you don't have to make the switch to Windows 11 just yet.

G.Rev's Mamorukun Curse! is back in the present, in a much wider release in more ways than one, with Mamorukun ReCurse! Between the various modes, soundtracks, widescreen and twin-stick support, this is the definitive edition of a niche shoot 'em up that deserves your attention.

Past meets present: Mamorukun ReCurse!

Another G.Rev shooter gets a (very welcome) modern update and re-release.

A coworker, seeing me read a book on my tablet, asked what I'm reading. But it'd be far too weird to say "It's a novelization of a Doctor Who audioplay that was later loosely adapted into an episode of the revived TV series and has itself already been novelized," so I just said, "nerd book."

talked w/ Howard Zinn a few times (he was an emeritus prof at BU, but kept office hours & would chat with anyone). he once got into how he'd planned that opening--the film-like 'reverse perspective' of the Arawaks seeing Columbus; a direct hit against the foundational grade-school US history fable

Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · May 19

After reading the first fifty pages of A People’s History of the United States my feelings on Christopher Columbus have gone from “we shouldn’t have a day commemorating him” to something … much, much darker.
