Well, there won't be any new posts, so that's not all that much of a problem in the end.

Only three of those green states are in the Midwest, though.

It's salty fats dressed with acid, that's exactly right.

ZZT!

This is the game that got Tim Sweeney the cash he needed to develop Jill of the Jungle and then go off of that success to bring Epic (Epic Megagames at the time) into the successful company it became. But I don't care about that because I never played Unreal or Fortnite.

ZZT came with its own editing software. Not just so you could place pieces around the board and make mazes or whatever, it contained a fairly robust scripting language you could use to make all sorts of things way beyond the scope of the original game the editor came with. Whole online communities grew up around creating and sharing these homemade games, first on BBSes and then on AoL fora and eventually on a dedicated website that's still around. Because the game/editor were distributed as shareware, there was almost no barrier to entry, and we were all just churning with ideas about how to break the engine and push the bounds of the software, of gameplay, and if narrative convention.

It was one of the most creative and community-focused times of my life, and fostered my lifelong passion for game design, something I still do as a hobby.

Because we learned nothing last time and continue to protest in a location where we can be easily kettled by raising the bridges for some reason.

I don't tend to use Dijon for this, but most types of brown mustard or spicy mustard go well. Also other vinegary condiments such as chimichurri or cilantro chutney.

The question could be read either way.

I met her just before May Day in 2009. Two days later we were going steady. Three months after that, engaged. A year after we met I moved in with her and a year after she proposed we were married. Well, church married.

We were protesting for marriage equality and refused to file a marriage certificate until it was the law of the land; but we had kids before that happened and then we got busy and we didn't actually get around to that part until the pandemic lockdowns. So ten years after we got married we turned in our marriage license.

I mean, you could support piefed development or one of the *bins, instead.

 
 

... but it was all stock footage.

 

Right now it only list English and Undetermined, but I also want to be able to interact with content in Spanish, Latin, and Esperanto. But mostly Spanish.

 
 
 

If you're like me, you might have grown up reading these kind of jokes in the back of Boys Life magazine.

There was a thriving Tom Swifty community on reddit, and as one of its most frequent submitters I took it on myself to recreate it here, and invite over the other most prolific submitters. At least one has already joined, why don't you come join us, too?

!tomswifty@midwest.social

 

This is the first one I wrote since the reddit blackout.

 

So, for example, my other account is @Nemo@slrpnk.net.

How do I access that profile page from this account (@Nemo@midwest.social)?
