Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

@arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
“We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I discuss Maniac Mansion, the LucasArts classic that gave us the SCUMM engine, coined the term "cutscene," and produced an unbelievably bizarre 1990s sitcom.

brazen-starflower-a6e.notion.site/2762dd7a28ff... I made this wrestling move database for my World Wide Wrestling RPG group. Visual examples, descriptions where warranted, notes and thoughts, etc. It could never be exhaustive but it's got a lot!

Wrestling Moves | Notion
Though some moves are marked “Finisher” because of their reputation, any move can be a finishing move if the wrestlers and commentary sell it and it’s consistently protected!

Some fantastic stylized modeling tips in here in addition to their rigging and rendering stuff

Highly recommended if you're interested in cel shading but have a hard time understanding how it's going to behave with a given type of geo or vertex normals
