i can keep them all pretty stylistically consistent cause i'm just using the same kinda style i love to draw with regularly, and it's really so freeing to make shit fast and messy and imperfect. i'm kinda stunned at how fast i made all 16 of these, it was like 3 or 4 sessions total

Tragically, this decipherment was only necessary because of a one-man Spanish Inquisition, a deliberate, decades-long campaign by a single Catholic priest, Diego de Landa, to destroy the Mayan language & culture.
One Catholic Priest Destroyed the Entire Mayan Written Language
The priest, Diego de Landa, wiped out all knowledge of the written language, and nearly destroyed the spoken language too.

Hmmm. What's it mean when a Roomba makes a sad noise, spins around, says "MALFUNCTION 54" in a robot voice, and then I start seeing bright blue flashes and feeling like I got electrocuted from the inside out?

I'm gonna synthesize so much music now. What's your preferred software for composing MIDIs? Bonus points if it runs on retro computers, but not required

I've heard, not sure how true: that TCAS systems, until recently, could have an overflow and wrap around if you were in the unlikely scenario of climbing above FL600, and throw "TERRAIN! PULL! UP!" as you pass 65535ft.
You'd be more likely to stall before then, but it's still "fun" to think about.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead
