History of Computer Art, HTML versions in English and German with embedded videos: I updated the embed codes (YouTube, Vimeo and dailymotion changed them). Now you can see the videos within the text and go to the videos on the platforms - as it was before.

Continued thread

So we tried the recently purchased (and Early Access) Nuclear Nightmare and another ugh - rough graphics and confusing gameplay had us leave quickly. We ended up playing some Helldivers and it was okay. I don't think M liked it, but we'll see how it goes. #4GuysCoop #FPS #ComputerGames

This is just a friendly reminder to everyone gaming out there.

Not hitting 100% completion is fine. Experiencing games to *your* fullest is what is important, and if that means you want to do everything the game has to offer, good for you, go for it, but don't force yourself.

There is a fine line between a game turning from fun to tedious or frustrating.
By and large, they are not meant to be frustrating experiences.
Also, note that challenging is not the same as frustrating.

Have fun out there, but know there is no shame in walking away from time to time.

#Introduction

I'm just a guy with a lot of hobbies - #brewing, growing stuff, making #vinegar, collecting #AncientCoins, #photography, #boardgames, #ComputerGames, and much more.

I need a new hobby like I need a new hole in the head, but I am also powerless to resist when a new hobby strikes. Such is life.

I work as a #TechnicalWriter at a Danish software company. I have three clever and independent children who shout at me a lot, and a wife who doesn't. We live a happy normie-life in suburbia.

Back in the before-times I studied #linguistics at #AarhusUniversity. I think about #AncientRome and #AncientGreece probably every hour or so.

#introduction

I fight for the users.

I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

I'm currently working at Apple on the Vision Pro headset team.

I'm sober.

#introduction

I'm wajib. I go by they or he pronouns. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. I'm whiling away my life playing #games (tabletop and digital), reading #books (mostly sci-fi), and sitting on the porch with Shadow, my angry black cat. I'm bi, aro, and interested in #bisexual community organizing (I co-led a bi community group here for a couple years).

More stuff I like in the replies here.
