For my #RandomGameSaturdsy I have Megamania for the Atari 2600. I remember playing this game over at a friend's house and marveled at all the stuff the game threw at you.

@optimstie.bsky.social THANK YOU.
I've struggled with mental health off and on my whole life and it is always appreciated when others raise awareness.

optiMSTie @optimstie.bsky.social · 1d

[now with alt text]

Aye. As someone who has struggled (and sometimes still struggles) with mental health, I throw my love, respect, and support to all-a-y'all in the fight.

Through raising awareness, I hold out hope that we can lessen - and wipe out - the stigma surrounding mental health matters.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Sending love to those who...

-are struggling mentally
-have no support system
-are scared to speak up
-are fighting suicidal thoughts
-are in therapy
-are in recovery

[green hearts appear over the six different situations listed above]

Coding Axiom: If anyone recommends that a change in a program/app can be simply done by altering just a few lines of code and that it can't be THAT hard have NEVER coded anything in their life.

For the first fighting game on the list, I am picking the original Samurai Shodown. I really love a lot of the traditional Japanese influences in a lot of the tracks.

At a certain point, some people may want to do a self-assessment on whether or not they should be consuming any creative work if their first instinct is to default to an unreliable, inaccurate and dangerous electronic custodian.

Hell, they'll just use an AI prompt to tell them how to feel.

I don't have a medical degree and have ZERO professional medical training.

This is not how any of this works.

PROTIP: Measles are BAD.

Bad Medical Takes @badmedicaltakes.bsky.social · 5d

Twitter user TheMatrixStorm:
Absolutely winning.

Measles is a natural symbiotic so-called pathogen that makes susceptibility to certain cancers greatly reduce.

Getting it while young as we used to gives you lifelong immunity that the vaccine cannot ever provide.

You people that think measles cases are bad have started out assuming measles is bad.

Lots of things kill weak people.

But the vaccines cause autism and all kinds of other neurological and immunological disorders along with all the other toxic and poisonous things were exposed to in the modern day.

Measles goes through most healthy people when they're young asymptomatically.

Anyone who doesn't know any of the above needs to update...

I didn't use Photon Paint as much as Deluxe Paint III, but it feels like the software was way ahead of its time. I couldn't really appreciate it then, but boy do I appreciate it now. I still have my copy!

So, we want to check what is still working, what needs repair since the room is going to be torn down for painting.
