I just got the email about npm security changes. It was sent to me *on the day it takes effect*, not in advance.

I'm pretty proud of the background in the last panel. I spent more than a day on this background.

If you're paying attention, you may notice I just completely faked the perspective on the buildings as it doesn't quite match up with the street's perspective.

Legitimately yes. They want all that and feel entitled to be respected and liked for it on top. If you don’t like them it makes them so furious

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

“Estimated delivery March 2027” this is the slowest pizza I’ve ever ordered

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 1d

This is honestly a brilliant Kickstarter addon pledge. Wonder how much pizza they’ll end up with @frogteam.games

Screenshot of the “Buy the Duskman a pizza!” pledge tier. It costs $10 and is advertised with the text “We'll add one box of pizza to the Duskman's lair in-game every time this add-on is selected. Great for giving the game some extra support and also helping make a big stack of pizza.”

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way
