A couple off-the-beaten-track items.

• The Rise of Computer Games, Part II: Digitizing Nerddom.  (see previous in series)
• Narrascope, happening in June in Albany, NY.  It sounds like there will be games and experiences to try, not just discussion.  (via)
• I sell onions on the Internet.  I thought for sure I had linked this before.  (via)
• The Caligra C100.  (also via)
• “Do something productive with your 10,000 hours people.”  I am only qualified to run around a restricted area and be worried, going by my gameplay hours.
• Discord IPO, again.  Notes on self-hosting chat, as a transition and fallback for the inevitable enshittification of Discord.
• Thinking About Thinking.
• SystemSix.
• How the past models the future.  Linked for the page x-ray comparison images.
• Eat This Newsletter.  His podcast is soothing.
• Jan Švankmajer Day.  Lots of animated gifs if you aren’t familar with his work.  (via)
• The original BSD proposal.  (via)
