"How old is this website"
Just discovered Chiptune dot com is inexplicably still online
Do you ever just look at a CSS tech demo that implements some neat gradient-based transition effect using pure CSS, and think to yourself "a plain image in a data URI has to be smaller than this"
Fine. I'll bite. What is 'it' in the phrase "don't get it twisted"? Up to now I'd been assuming it was the recipient's knickers, but
Game is called "Spooky Express"
Looks inside
Stopping at all stations
As a personal opinion… I feel like the big appeal of train networks is that they connect distant places into a single vast "system", so I feel this premise would have been solidly ideal for a contiguous world you could admire from afar such as in Monster's Expedition. Oh well.
#IPlayed Spooky Express (the train sokoban from Draknek). Not too bad, but I will say the final world being a haunted carnival but having no new mechanics beyond "the train platforms are longer" was a bit weak. I at least expected merry-go-rounds you can shunt passengers onto.
Oerlikon in Super Mario RPG's localisation is named after this thing??
Who is this reference even FOR
Yeah, sorry, I can't make it today, real embarrassing but Madotsuki turned into a stoplight and changed to red. Now she's just walking on different tiles to play sound effects. Yeah, no, yeah, it's her base walk speed so it's gonna be awhile yet. Tomorrow's probably good. Sorry.
Just been informed that the Pythonic equivalent of e.flatMap(w => w['tags']) is a nested list comprehension of the form "[tag for w in e for tag in w['tags']]", once again keeping me humble about my programming language assumptions.
Because alt+drag is actually a useful combination in Firefox, I bound it to Windows key+drag (having already unbound the Windows key's bind to the Start menu years ago because I find pressing it by accident way too annoying for what *should* just be a modifier key…)
I was reading a reddit thread about window title bars versus "header bars" (header bars are essentially toolbars or tab bars, such as in Chrome) and the main argument was that, as title bars are the only way to drag a window, header bars eat into that precious space too much.
I agreed… but then I thought, surely there's a better way to drag a window in 2025 than that one barren strip.
Anyway, I installed something that lets you modifier-key-click any part of the window to drag, which has apparently been a standard Linux feature for over a decade.
If you have Fate/stay night installed, then pressing the F8 key should launch it. It's not like anything's using that key for something more important.
