I've been working on this gardening "expansion" for #MastoCity for quite a while now, and the central mechanic of it is crossbreeding flowers, to get new and fancy flowers in different colors.

But now I'm thinking of adding a "creative mode" a la Minecraft, where you have an unlimited number of any flower available and can place them to make a pretty garden to walk around in - without any of the game elements; just the virtual space.

Would that be desirable to you or someone you know?

In every abyss: stagnant windowless chants,
experience of the last signs.
Moonlight brilliance, as sun collapsing.

From the cool #retrocomputing file, how about the Outbound Notebook from 1989, a portable Mac clone that depended on scavenging a ROM from an actual Mac in order to boot. Apple obsoleted these folks out of business ASAP.

Notably, the Outbound used a "pointer bar" that rolled vertically and slid horizontally for cursor movement. Also, it used commonly available camcorder batteries rather than a custom battery to try to make it easier for users to get spares and replacements - what a novel concept!

personal fav, "Q":

«16th Century. Two main characters. One wants to overthrow the social order. The other is a spy in the service of the forces who want to maintain it. Q is the spy, in the pay of Father Carafa, an ultra conservative figure, rapidly rising up the hierarchy of the Catholic church. An epic from the bowels of history, set in central Europe and Northern Italy. Someone described the book as "a theological western".»

i've been using mastodon less than twitter recently and i think it's cuz using mastodon has become kinda exhausting. I feel like I can't say anything that's particularly... bold or sharp... without it becoming a network-wide Discourse everything is passive-aggressive and complaining that we're talking about Tough Shit. plus my mentions will be swarmed with random strangers with poor social skills cracking inappropriate unfunny jokes or relating personal information i don't want to know.
