John Carpenter's Dark Star was released 51 years ago today.
"In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong."
John Carpenter was born 78 years ago today, also. Twin anniversaries!

Vanity mistaken for vision always leaves wreckage behind. Institutions outlast egos, but the damage still has to be repaired by people who actually understand stewardship, not self-worship.

I’ve been working on an obscure #HyperCard feature as of late. You can support multiple language translations for #HyperTalk with a WTRN resource. A Wildtalk Translator.
The only reference I’ve found is in HyperTalk 2.2 The Book. There is Mac Pascal source code for two examples.

Learned something new today. I didn't know in #HyperTalk for #HyperCard 2.4.1 you could use "answer folder" to ask the user to select a folder. It must have been added after the 2.2 reference I'm using.

I recently got a massive haul of vintage computers... that were mostly all moldy. Here's a short showing a few including a couple PS/2s (model 50z and 60). I really don't understand this considering they are not really corroded. Warning: nasty! youtube.com/shorts/XA0fG...

Researching my next game and ran across a similar one from 1997. The Last Express. A rotoscoped point-and-click murder on the Orient Express style game. I’ll have to give it a play.
