I tried taking the Final Fantasy pixel art #ClairObscurExpedition33 characters and making the Maëlle one into a #C64 sprite. There's no good pink colour for light skin tones in the C64 palette and there's no strong red or orange, so I don't like how her face and hair are the same colour.

I have a 3D printer now. It's a Bambu Lab A1. I just put it together and printed out Benchy the Boat - the Hello World of 3D printing.

If there's a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 film, I hope it's a French film and in the French language.

Oh @bsky.app initially realized I'm an adult, but now it's forgotten again. Weird. I guess I have no DMs again. This age assurance stuff is so ridiculous.

Discord, who recently leaked a heap of personal data in a security breach, wants my personal data to let me access a channel I created in a server I created. Thank you, Australian government.

@bsky.app would someone under the age of 16 have the scalp of @manfightdragon.bsky.social ? Impossible. Give the man his DMs back.
My access to DMs on BlueSky has been closed by the Australian government because BlueSky refused to make a reasonable assumption that I am over the age of 16 and want me to prove it by sending a photo of myself or my ID to some 3rd party company lmao. FUck off.

Blue Sky this morning realised that I'm an adult. No need to verify that by uploading a screenshot of Norman Reedus from Death Stranding.

I was there, at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the Earth year 1995 when I bought a 28.8k modem and joined, "the internet".

We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.
Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

This is the same dude who's party just made it legal to jail underage kids for life for violent crime because it's 'getting that bad' in Melbourne.
Where the fuck are they meant to be hanging out, mate? Pick a lane.

I love this video by @juniperdev.bsky.social as it reminds me of the internet when I was a teen and playing MUDs where I met people such as @nummymuffin.bsky.social and @billmcbee.bsky.social and more. It was a third place free of modern social media algorithms. I miss it. youtu.be/lQ5g6_jMhA8?...

Everyone under age 16 in Australia just got this notification from YouTube. Everyone under 16 will no longer be able to sign-in, block channels, disable ads, or browse anything other than the default algorithm moving forward. Brain dead decision-makers.
