My daughter and I are in a race inisde The Nightland to be first to the Citadel. She is choosing Paladin (Fairy hates her, but she gets a +1 in battle), and I'm going Giant. Poison has no effect on me but I get a -1 in battles.

To victory!

Now that Stranger Things has ended, can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing love letter to synthesizers that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein composed for the show?

Their setup included synths like the Prophet-6, Prophet-5, Univox Mini-Korg, Oberheim SEM, Roland SH-2, ARP 2600, and a lot more!

So if folks are wondering why they’re suddenly seeing activity or follows, there was a thing rolled out to Twitter that lets anyone apply GenAI to images

Artists are understandably unhappy with this, and folks in countries like Japan take this pretty seriously

Hence the incoming wave here

Here's a recent series of designs based on a request (yes, I welcome requests for designs).

The board is the USBSID-Pico from @loudai.nl, for interfacing over USB with #SID chips for your #chiptune delight.

The design's a good example, too, of keeping the style simple.
