There was a strategy to it! Instead of dropping coin down every last blade, little kid me aligned the machine a particular way so the coin would drop all the way down to the second to last blade. Then I would nudge the coin to the edge, then twist and suddenly stop to give it enough force to not just fall straight down, but also not enough to fling it past the final blade. I’d say I won around half the time, and intentionally only did it once every so often to not arise suspicion you could game it well. I was sad when my 25 cent burritos were taken away for good after this machine left, ah well.

From those screenshots it does look quite nice! Visible ratings while scrolling albums is huge for me and I miss it. I migrated everything over to Strawberry from MusicBee this year because I only want FOSS, and Tauon appears to be GPL licenced! Strawberry absolutely works, but it still feels more like a settle. Gotta give this a try and see how it feels, thanks for the info!

Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.

Haven’t seen much today unfortunately, hoping that changes. I made a very short pixel art skit for today and posted it in a few places. April snuck up on me once again, so I’m glad I got anything up this time.

With all that food for thought, your son might be full before getting to the food court!

Nice night scene! I appreciate the detail you put into the suv and its lighting, really makes me feel like they’re the only one around for a long while.

Handmade‽ Wow, they are so cute! Are you the creator? If so, you did a lovely job bringing them to life!

Or even better, if that prevents you from falling back asleep and now you’re half-awake when your alarm would actually go off. Lousy REM sleep cycles…

Nothing ever has been or ever will be perfect. Maybe it seems odd to feel pride for ya, I dunno, but feeling some accomplishment for creating a short story and sharing it with the world is a good thing! I enjoyed my time with your comic, it’s a great parallel to hopelessness in the face of all those who wish to oppress us, and inaction only benifiting the oppressors. Change feels so slow when you’re living in it, compared to the sanitized footnotes of history. Perhaps it’s easy to feel like it’s the worst its ever been, irredeemable, or insurmountable, but that stems from only knowing our own prespective. If we do what we can, when we can, where we can control, things do improve. Maybe not as fast as we’d like, but we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Tails is basically the reason I found out I wanted to be a fox when I was like 7, so he’s had an influence on my identity for sure. Without the full body and no color to go on, he does look a lot like him.

Glad my translation of the window was on point then! This was made in Krita, a FOSS art program. I actually made it under a size and color constriction to be recreated as a Mario Maker 2 comment, which I ended up doing a week later.

Thanks for sharing! From the sounds of it you’ve been aware for a long time too, honestly it’s kinda amazing to me how long it’s been a part of many people’s lives and identities. It really is one of those things that seem to stick with you forever!
