Added lives, including an extra life item that sometimes appears in the dungeon shops. I even plan on going so far as to delete your save file if you run out of lives.

@mangeurdenuage how do you store optical discs? i figure these wallets where the discs are stored in contact with other plastic are shit. jewelcases feel like the best option, but they need so much space :/

3D printed ammo, compatible with .38 SPL, but is on par with .22LR in performance. A key idea is to use a sabot that engages rifling for accuracy.

Someone showed me the ad for Scotland's new(-ish) anti-hate speech law.

Can someone please tell me of a single disabled person who actively gets harassed and bullied by grown adults? Maybe the mentally disabled, but that's only because they make fools out of themselves. This commercial makes zero sense.

:blobcatsuit: we're not planning on killing everyone, we're just going to shut off the nitrogen shipments and when everyone starves to death from the inability to grow enough food it'll just be apropos of nothing

Love how the BSD-2-Clause has a no-warranty-screaming section that's visibly longer than the rest of the license.

@hachi @zoomgoboom Lolno. The LGBTP is the opposite of concerned about the actual welfare of autists.

@hachi @zoomgoboom In America we have plenty of food. The only way to make it so we don't would be to follow your suggestion and replace grocery stores with gay little commie gardens that'd get trashed by homeless drug addicts anyways.

Taking advice from people who believe that there are too many people on the planet seems like overall a bad idea.

Ada Lovelace was not a programmer:

https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/technology/visionaries/ada-lovelace-original-and-visionary-but-no-programmer/

Grace Hopper invested COBOL, but she hardly made the first compiler. She coined the turn compiler; and she did some amazing things, but there's no reason to inflate her beyond those already big accomplishments.

Robert Williams was big in the era of text adventure games, but let's just admit it: all the Sierra games kinda sucked, and were just a means to sell hint books. The only really good games she wrote were Kings Quest VI and Phantasmagoria (just the first one; second one sucked)

I don't recognize the other names. Some of them may have been important, some exaggerated. I feel like from the few issues I've seen, I can't trust the rest of this list.

Why not just let great people stand on their own? Why is there this bizarre need to elevate the few who excel in something their in-group typically doesn't care about? You don't see "Greatest men of needle-point"
