    Great discussion with the 500 hats of lambda calculus townie (https://masto.hackers.town/@lambdacalculus) about their coming HOPE_16 and phreakNIC talks on mesh networks / piratebox.cc and their work on redstaros's server edition.

    Their extensive old hardware collection (ataris, vic20s, ccl on apple IIs)

  • Twinks on the high seas (Sid Meier's Pirates!) Part 16

    Conrads we are nearing the end. I don't think we're going to be able to live much longer. :CCC

    That's right. It's Sid Meier's Pirates! The 2005? version that was absolutely trying to cash in on Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Despite my memory of doing well at this game it is clear I don't have as good a memory as I thought. Oh well.

    This is part 16. If you want to see part one, check out the playlist goddamn it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGzH8lxtXkIi9_ck-jYg7ihJFQIWJ-3fz

    Pirates! Live the life! (Sid Meier's Pirates! 2004 or is it 2005?) is a ...well, I guess a pirate sim game? It's set during the golden age of piracy in the western hemisphere, and the player takes the role of some hot twink that's lost all his money and family.

    Don't worry though! Captain Dingus Khan and his band of merry ass pirates will leverage the incredible power of violence to defeat their enemies, namely the spanish.

        • Short Overview of the Ships at Sea Simulation Game

          Experience the thrill of navigating a wide range of ships. In single- and multiplayer modes, immerse yourself in tasks such as service, cargo transport, and commercial fishing as you explore the breathtaking open world of Norway's Islands and its stunning scenery. The ocean is within your reach!

          The game is still in early access (so you can expect some minor glitches and for features to still be rolling out) but it is playing perfectly well for me on Manjaro Linux with Steam's Proton compatibility layer.

          In this video, I show what I'm loving about the game so far, and why I find it so relaxing to play. This is not a detailed how-to or walkthrough of the game, but if you are curious about it and wondering whether to buy it, my video may give a better feel for what you can expect to see.
