↳ In-reply-to » For the first time in probably 30 years, I played a game of M.U.L.E. tonight (and won!).

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I have the Atari800 emulator installed on my laptop along with a copy of the game.

But the easiest way to try it now is probably via the Internet Archive, which allows you to play it in the browser: https://archive.org/details/a8b_M.U.L.E._1983_Electronic_Arts_US

The manual is there, too: https://archive.org/download/agm_mule/mule_text.pdf

I have to say. I’m really very disappointed in Microsoft. Not only did they buy out Minecraft the game, but they basically ruined it for every privacy conscious family, parents and their kids, who can no longer play the game without giving away personal identifiable information (PII) on my children that Microsoft have zero rights to. 🤦‍♂️ – Honestly… Fuck you Microsoft.

Granted, it was a beginner-level game, with a beginner-level alien against 3 computer players, but… I’m just sayin’.

I even lost one of my tracts of land due to it not being “recorded”, and I still won.

Take that, Mechtrons!

@david@daiwei.me since I became linuxpilled and embraced SSH, I do my Wordles through https://late.sh/

Can strongly recommend it, even has all the other daily puzzles: minesweeper, sudoku, solitaire, nonogram (kinda hate those),…

Maybe not the best family activity, the chat can be somewhat spicy and so can the collaborative ASCII art drawing game.

In #Magic last night, I debuted my new #Dune deck with an underwhelming performance - perhaps unsurprisingly for a desert-focused deck, I faced a real drought, starting the game with only 1 land in hand (even after a mulligan) and not pulling another land until turn 4(!). Because of our house starting mana, I wasn’t totally sunk, but everything I got out was just luck. I did die last thanks to my big wurms (so I guess I was 2nd place?), but still… underwhelming.

For game 2, I wanted to bring the thunder (especially after my pitiful performance last week), so I dusted off my Night of 1000 Squirrels deck (headed by the infamous Chatterfang, Squirrel General). By turn 3, the #squirrel army was forming, and thanks to well-timed casts of Fog and Make a Stand, the squirrels managed to overrun everyone just a few turns later.

Another fun night overall. I won’t be able to play for the next few weeks, so I’m glad this one ended with a win. 😁 #mtg

@prologic@twtxt.net Potentially, depending on the features supported / hardware used.

I’ve long wished for an appliance (like a video game console) that hosts my essential services - email, shared files, social media, etc. - but which “just runs” in a box behind the TV.

So what do you have in mind? 🤔
