It looks like someone at EA decided to release almost all the old Origin vault onto Steam. Looks like 11 Ultima games got put out too. Even little-known franchises like Crusader.

@aral happy birthday Aral!

Glad to see that with Kitten and Madblog we have reached the same solution (Markdown-generated Web content) coming from two entirely different routes 🙂

it's not a rober press (or robur press spelt correctly) it's a ... fuck I can't remember. Kind of a screw press but instead of pressing plates together it just presses a little circle or something small into or out of another thing. Plus probably other stuff, idk. dang

@gb123geo @TarHeelBel I did the work today, so VoiceOver (Apple) and TalkBack (Android) should work fine in the next release.

big swirly thing off BC

My partner who was my last link to the *non* fedi social media has decided he is also done with Meta and Co.

So, next up on the agenda is setting up my own little Fedi instance on local hardware for friends and family to keep up to date on goings on.

I'm a bit rusty at being a server admin, but it's something to work on this winter!

Any recommendations for small scale fedi instances? I know there are services like Mastohost but the storage is quite limited.

this is one of those times I wish I had a… wuzzut called… rober press? big screw, pushes a thing into (or out of) another thing. that’d be good here right?

The uber-classic 70s-era TV series "Columbo" starring Peter Falk is currently free on #YouTube Movies & TV. YouTube frequently brings various content into free status from paid, but reversion to paid can happen at any time and sometimes the free periods are quite short. This is the first seven seasons -- the original run -- which by far contains the most classic episodes. There is always confusion about the pilots and first episodes. The original pilot, "Prescription: Murder" aired in 1968 and features a not fully developed Columbo character -- there are noticeable differences in Falk's portrayal from what we'd learn to love when the series proper got running. The second pilot "Ransom for a Dead Man" is sometimes catalogued as S1E1 or S1E0, but is not included in the current YT episode list. Instead, S1E1 is "Murder by the Book", which was directed by a little known Universal staff director named Steven Spielberg. Oh, just one more thing!

@Beachbum Disagree. He is a terrible choice for leader. His popularity is 13%. Whenever he speaks people cringe. We need a compelling leader who can galvanize the country in these challenging times. The widely despised Chuck Schumer is not that guy.

He accompanied me as I stocked our two meager toy racks in the cafe with an assortment of holiday themed ninja turtles, children's classics, hiphop stars, kaiju, and characters allegedly from dungeons and dragons.
