Digital Beast Plus+

I was surprised to see the machines actually work and load literal ROMs.

You ever just see something and go, 'yeah, imma buy that'. I found this great little kobold avatar for SL on the marketplace that comes in a literal coin box, has a fun UI with 'tail vibration' and smugness settings, and just generally looks adorable. All for just four united states buckers. It has a subdermal glow setting too, that you can toggle like a light switch. Lifegoals.

How is it this old-ass MMO has a better club scene than most triple-A games.

Updated my cowman avatar in Second Life from v3.0 to v3.5.

Sounds silly, but I'd never done an upgrade before. Replace Links is a godsend in Firestorm.

Fell asleep last night thinking about Holiday Lemmings 1994 and how nice it'd be, in an odd way, if there was still someone in the little original DMA Design office in Dundee, cranking out another 3.5" floppy disk of Holiday Lemmings levels once a year in an unbroken streak since the 90s, just someone who got really good at designing Lemmings levels and got to do that forever, throwing in some new lovingly drawn graphics and animations here and there, nice little touches for the dedicated fans who eagerly await the year's new level disk in the post, games as seasonal comfort media, games created outside of time and tech-determinism and capitalism itself, games you can make infinite fun little levels for, level design as folk practice, level design as an old friend you see once or twice a year, level design as a tasty holiday dish they make and share with a few friends, that only they know how to make in just the right way. in the little office above the french restaurant.

Baby Mondo is flawless.

As someone who's been using Gmail since 2004 - moving off Google products is difficult.

Last year my task was to move all my site credentials into a KeePass database and regenerate every password I use on the internet. (And stop using Chrome and all its derivatives).

This year, my task is to change every site that uses my Gmail as login, to my new non-Google email.

Discovering all sorts of fun things like: sites that don't let you change login emails ever, sites that don't even verify email changes, etc.

It's glorious to be able to see a whole dungeon.

Finally the official tier list we've all been waiting for.
