I'll do one better and show you two!

Photograph of a squirrel standing on its hind legs, being fed a piece of an Oreo cookie by someone at the Grand Canyon. You are not supposed to feed the animals there, so please do not follow the example here.

Photograph of a white bird with black mottled wings and yellow eyes, species unknown. It is perched upon a high surface, probably a light fixture or some similar mand-made structure. Tree foliage against a blue sky makes up the blurred background.

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

I was front row center for this amazing panel and now you get to watch it too. Probably one of the best panels ever given at a retro gaming show. Felt like the culmination of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's life's work:

What do a cute witch and a wizard do when they're alone together?

They brew potions, of course.

Featuring @junipenumbra.bsky.social

Lined and flat-colored doodle of Ahzi and @junipenumbra being cartoonish gremlins on either side of a pot of brewing, bubbling potion. Wow, what a pair of total goobers. It's total dorksville up in here. From 2025.

Look at this cutie! It's @junipenumbra.bsky.social in cute witch form! Tell her she's cute!

Lined and flat-colored drawing of @junipenumbra in her witch form, sketch lines retained for aesthetic purposes. She's a brown-haired nekomimi with long fluffy ears extending sideways from her head, and long hair with sidelocks framing her face and extending down the length of her torso. Her dark purple witch's robe and worn, pointed hat are accented by a cloak resembling owl feathers accented with trims of divine golden ichor. A cheerful expression reveals one catty little fang. She stands in thick and verdant vegetation, likely deep within a forest given the thick canopy blocking most light from overhead. From 2025.

I have to accept new terms and conditions in order to switch the fucking input on my TV.

I want to throw a rock at somebody's head I think

Back when devices Just Worked. Mine is very similar, I can just plug my retro consoles straight into the RCA/component input and it goes, no fiddling with modes or whatever.

When I finally need a 4k TV in here I might have to make some tough decisions...

The best part of this level of attempted idiot-proofing is that if someone can even get to this point in installing and running a Linux machine it's probably an unfounded concern.

At a certain point you just gotta let the idiot win, lest you become the idiot yourself.

Oops I should really try actually posting stuff.

Anyway, one time I streamed Noita and I was breaking the reroll machines, and made a quick slideshow to explain what that entailed and all.

The last slide, well...

The last slide in a slideshow explaining the ins and outs of breaking reroll machines in the video game Noita. It reads, "Our Purpose: Create the Dark Sun in Hell" in red letters, with a black drawing of a moon on the left, an arrow pointing rightwards in the middle, and a sun filled in with black stripes on the right.
