Hey folks, some update. We're still searching for potential donors and for those headed to Chicago this weekend, a friend put together this asset which they'll have copies of at the event, so DM them to meetup to help spread the word! piggalicious.bsky.social
The site is still iggyland.org -

When I was a kid, there were tons of commercials for musical compilation CDs. They'd list off all the bands featured on the CD, inevitably ending with: "...and many more!"

Leading me to believe that there was a ridiculously prolific, versatile musical artist named Minnie Moore 😄

Distinct memories of this painting from when I read The Robots of Dawn in high school!

This is the cutest thing I've seen all day 😻

Thank you so much, Jamie! I really appreciate it. ✨

Formatting the blank drive should be doable - this person has access to Macs of different ages if push comes to shove.

Thanks, Coopertom! I'll look into the USB to SATA adapter.

And yeah, the whole "also, it's a Mac" thing is the biggest stumbling block.

Most of my OCs come into being because I thought "I need a new imaginary furry couple/polycule to fixate on!"

So... yes. Very yes. 😅

(With the exception of the medieval furry universe that's been swirling in my brain forever. But even some of those fluffheads are going out with each other....)

It's a weird one! A niche little artifact from a time when GPU manufacturers weren't global juggernauts. (I wonder if I still have it somewhere...)

"The job was rough but I'm gonna miss the people"

Boy oh boy if that ain't the elegy of work-a-day labor under capitalism I don't know what is

The coolness of your retro machines is always a delight to behold 💾📀

(Although when I reached the beginning Episode 2 and Alyx had no face - just chattering teeth and eyeballs - I wisely decided it was time for an upgrade.)

My first GPU was a 3DLabs WildCat VP870. Built for CAD/modeling, not gaming.

But I did in fact play Half Life 2 for the first time with that card! Ran slow. Caused all kinds of bizarre graphical bugs (e.g. my gun was 50ft long and clipped into the ground.)

And I didn't care. Simpler times. 😄
