I make 1s and 0s as a technical product manager and software engineer. I used to (and still do!) write words. Once caught a level 21 Pikachu, it was awesome.

I intend to get a ~2003 iMac (pictured below) and run System 9.2.2 on it. I’ll be alone to use it to remote in to consoles, and it’ll look cool af.
Plus there’s (theoretically) VNC options. Not sure I’ll care for the latency, but only way to tell is to test it after I get my hands on one.

I remember reading Gorion's Scroll at the end of my first session with this game, and immediately going "who is this E?"
That one question opened a HUGE world of great stories that I'm still reading today. Baldur's Gate really set the tone for massive world building through vidya games.

Starting something I've wanted to for years...
Play through the entire Baldur's Gate games on one character (imported or remade).
A chaotically good half-elf conjurer with high intelligence and charisma, and a strong inclination for slinging magic missiles. The character I always played as a kid.

For those in CompSci adjacent professions, after a good bit of career, have any of you gone back and tried your hand at Knuth’s Art of Computer Programming?
I did sone in college, but by no means did I understand everything. Now I look at something like this and I think I could do in a couple days?

The next Dem nominee for President needs to run on bulldozing his fascist ballroom and restoring the White House.

Pathic @cnn.com homepage stories right now. Nothing in the lead spots about the protests, Trump's AI shit dream, WH making fun on dem leaders, etc... But it was "deplorables" all the time in 2016.
We need to reform our society so this dereliction of civic responsibility never happens again.
