I'm launching a new gaming website! Sometime after everything happened last year I convinced my former boss @midimyers.com to come on this journey with me, and I could not be more grateful. I'm so proud to make something I love, something I stand by, something I OWN. Learn more at the link below :')
It's time to board the Mothership.

Speaking of Titanium Court, I can now point out that AP Thomson just casually dropped a self-portrait via a screenshot of Titanium Court in an interview a year ago, when it was still unannounced, with no explanation at all of what it was or what it was doing there canvasrebel.com/meet-ap-thom...

You might remember my IGF blog post where I described going crazy over an "Unannounced Project by AP Thomson". Well, that's Titanium Court, and it's no longer unannounced. Looking forward to everyone else getting to try this because it's something very special. store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/...

This is a game meant for a kids ride, so it's over in a few minutes with nothing to it and I sure can't emulate the ride part at home either, but I played it because it has the funny Sonic voice
They should bring this voice back imo

Canada legal nerds: I am trying to figure out what this character in Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg is on about. It has bugged me for years and I cannot find such a case.
Also we've had computer crime laws since 1985 and this story takes place in 1986. Any thoughts?

Actually now that I think about it if you've got DJ Food's Jazz Brakes Vol. 2 and are up with helping me out, I'm curious to find out just how similar these are.
Heh, that's interesting. A rare 90s techno track I've got was flagged as containing content from a DJ Food track, and now that I've looked it up... yeah, they sound *very* very similar. At a minimum both based on the same looping sample.

OK I'm back to signing out of this app on my phone. I really don't think it's that good for my brain rn for the same feed to be a mix of casual chat about hobbies/career things and panic-inducing world events. Probably needs a little more separation and more friction to browsing.
