I did, anyway, find and read a recent science fiction novel in "Exiles" by Mason Coile: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475794.html

"What You Need" had me thinking of previous Twilight Zone episodes before it offered an interesting change: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475615.html

Another three months of anime watched ranged from DAN DA DAN, My Dress-Up Darling, and CITY through to Minky Momo and Urusei Yatsura: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475259.html

On to science fiction again (and memories of a different SF work from a few years before it) with the Twilight Zone and "And When the Sky Was Opened": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/475098.html

Heading back quite a few years to at last revisit a movie I saw at my university's anime club, Patlabor 2: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/474647.html

Trying to adjust both simulated ImageWriter printouts and the Snow emulator I winkle them out of: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/474423.html
A composite of various options for classic Macintosh screen text and simulated ImageWriter printouts, reproducing the text of the linked post.

On to another Twilight Zone episode interesting for having been a title before, "Perchance to Dream": krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473744.html

My selection of further panels at @animelockdown.bsky.social, taking in history I was there for, stuff blowing up, and more serious business: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473515.html

Getting to "Time Enough at Last" meant getting to a Twilight Zone episode I knew something about through cultural osmosis, enough to wonder what I'd make of it myself: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/473206.html

From Epson dot-matrix emulation to ImageWriter dot-matrix emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472723.html

The Twilight Zone returned to science fiction with "The Lonely" and, beyond that, iterated on what's already becoming a familiar theme: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472371.html

A double dose of one fairly new manga, reading Idol x Idol Story!: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/472211.html

What made "Escape Clause" different from what I'd known before from a Twilight Zone adaptation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471878.html

Further experiments in getting work out of the Snow emulator turn to Epson dot-matrix emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471676.html
Retyping from scratch is one way to produce a second draft, and I can imagine someone telling me reasons why that might be preferable to changing a word here and there. Having to transcribe text out of a window showing the emulated screen of an antique Macintosh with the sense everything I had worked on in the new emulator Snow was locked inside it wasn't all that pleasant, though...

"Walking Distance" was one of the few Twilight Zone stories I've long been aware of through adaptations. It wasn't just seeing the episode itself that seemed to have it offer more impact now: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471434.html

My solution is, I'll admit, a bit complicated:
1. Open the Terminal application
2. type xattr -rc (with one space following it)
3. drag the icon of the program that won't open into the Terminal window
4. press Return
To be honest, I usually don't see that error. Hoping this works for you...

Turning to a recent release of an older manga, the science fiction story They Were 11!: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471276.html

While I'd be more likely to get Blue Noah myself, I can see your point about Aika selling a lot better... I don't know how many other people have "nostalgic connection" via Thunder Sub, and without it there's a whole "it looks pretty rough and is a much less flamboyant Yamato clone" criticism.

Getting vMac running on Linux and Snow running on a more familiar computer for experiments in antique Macintosh emulation: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/471035.html

As someone who happened to see Thunder Sub on a local station four decades ago, I can agree with your comment... but also see the point of your follow-up, too.

On realising what the Twilight Zone episode "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine" was about, I wondered what twist it might bring to its subject: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/470559.html

When the latest version of the Color Computer 3 emulator VCC stopped working on my regular computer, I delved into other options even as other old computers were being discussed: krpalmer.dreamwidth.org/470397.html
