lol cool, my first thought was chumbawumba’s tubthumbing but maybe I’m just projecting 😆

No matter how old Playstation 1 gets it will always feel futuristic because of how it got burnt into the mind back then, that opening logo music just felt alien 👽

I’m excited to see people play what we made.

Making it was fun, hopefully it translates into fun for players

I will now be imposing a 100% tariff on all incoming likes requiring you to press the like button *twice* on my posts, this will definitely not have a reverse effect. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

What is the best software to setup a 2D image pipeline to “morph” a map with Mercator projection into a different *custom* projection and then be able to re-use this workflow later to convert more Mercator maps automatically? I don’t care if it’s pixels or vectors.

Nice, where’s this from?

Mohammad Rasoul @mohammadrasoul.bsky.social · 1d

The base is a countryside population disproportionately empowered via electoral college to unleash hostility on big cities and their structured/progressive way of life, - colleges, companies, industry, etc.

Yeah, tactical benefit and strategic loss of loyal music audience that supported them for decades.

They could’ve easily been the ones to launch TikTok if they still had that audience.

Mohammad Rasoul @mohammadrasoul.bsky.social · 1d

They had one job, - play music videos, not reality tv shows…

This is a bummer, hope they weren’t bought out.

Tech bros actually *want* collapse so they can have their neofeudal princedoms.

Are there scenarios where SQLite is not recommended? How does it do for concurrent multiplayer gaming?

Rewatched it earlier this year and this film is such a gem, - I felt that the car chase scene seems to have inspired the one in T2! bsky.app/profile/moha...

Trip to 90’s action cinema: if you’ve ever wanted an indie
Punks vs Terminators movie, then “Class of 1999” is for you, - wildly passionate in contrast to clinical action of today. #filmsky
