hey!! its a pic of yours truly!! im an oni with long purple horns and messy shoulder length bondi-blue hair. i'm wearing a japanese hanten jacket with a faded purple crosshatch pattern. my portrait is framed by an old Mac OS window titled ""shokocam""!! behind me is a pale blue background speckled with pictures of little CDs-- the macintosh install background.

i'm smiling really big at you!! thanks for stopping by!!

a graphic showing the hardware ive collected that makes the magic behind ShōkOS happen!! starting on the top left, working down:

- a powermac 7600/120, running OS 8.6 on a BlueSCSI device and System 7.6 on a ZuluSCSI device ((my REAL SCSI died :'( ))

- two macbook g3 laptops!! there are two colors. the graphite one runs OS 9.2.2. the blueberry one runs OSX panther!!

now at the top right, working down:

- an apple newton messagepad 120 running NewtonOS 2.0

- a collection of arcane mice! the edmark touchwindow, kensington turbo mouse ((ver. 5)), and ALTRA micropoint!! there is a fourth mouse in the picture ((the KAT mouse)) that goes unnamed because its too old to work with my computer!! :(

the pictures of all of these devices are framed by classic Mac OS UI windows. they overlap with my personalized version of the ""welcome to Macintosh" startup graphic.

"AI is here to stay" is supposed to make u give up and give into the changes big corpo fucks are trying to enforce. don't buy it. even if u somewhat agree, don't let them know. don't give into what they want

change happens through people. we CAN make change, we just need to reach for it

i feel this so much. i love to entertain and make people happy, but when chat is silent it becomes a "if a tree falls over but nobodies there does it make a sound" kind of situation.

Im going to say something controversial

Streaming to a silent chat is soul crushing

Say hi to your streamer when you can 💛

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

if your standard sense of humor is the sort where you routinely heckle and roast your friends I need you to understand you can't just automatically do that to strangers on the internet and expect them to be chill about it. it really just comes off like you are being mean to someone for no reason.

The way that the icons were arranged by default on this Japanese Mac magazine disc from 1997 I'm digging into is very cute and pleasing to the eye. 💜

A snap of the Japanese version of Mac System 7.53's desktop with a cd rom open and all the icons arranged in a heart shape.

I discovered the #AppleNewton MessagePad 2100 years after it went obsolete, and immediately started using it to take notes in all my college classes. It’s the right size for my hand, and lets me edit, organize, and text-search through my words

Your World.
The astonishing new invention that has room for your whole world but fits in your pocket.
It manages your days, your names, and your numbers.
It sends faxes and replaces your pager.
It makes writing readable.
It can draw even if you can’t.
It talks to computers and printers.
And what you don’t know, there’s a good chance it does.
Your Newton.

ES-CA-FLOW-NE *techno beat* 🎶

Only ten episodes aired of the 23 episode 'Fox Kids cut' of Escaflowne, broadcast in its Saturday morning cartoons slot in the summer of 2000. It underwent heavy narrative editing and had additional techno-infused music composed by Inon Zur.

We are currently working on a maki-e fountain pen.
It is about 70% complete at this stage, but the final colors will be different from what you see now.

From our most recent lesson on The Flu Shot:

Should you still get the shot even if you're young and healthy?

An infographic in the style of a Windows 98 pop-up window.

An image of Mr. Aejis' PNG asks:
"Should I still get the flu shot... Even if I'm young, healthy?"

Yes!

1. You want to STAY healthy, right?
2. You're less likely to spread it to a vulnerable person.

Why risk a week feeling AWFUL just because you might feel sluggish for a few hours?

Still not sure if you should? Just ask!

One bad flu can leave lasting lung damage!

In the US: You can get free/low-cost flu shots at many school, college, work, or community clinics.
In CAN: Free thru provincial health plans.
In the UK: Free for many thru NHS or low-cost at pharmacies.
