Sometimes burnt bridges can be rebuilt.

---

Ace Attorney had it's 20th anniversary last year and combined with the long awaited translation of Dai Gyakuten Saiban/the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles I got all nostalgic.

THIS moment is my absolute favourite scene: Phoenix Wright, terrified of heights, running across a burning bridge above a canyon because he's far more scared of losing anyone else, that he'd do anything to stop it. And in what would become a recurring motif, when Phoenix is in desperate straits, Edgeworth puts everything on the line to build him back up.

The same way Phoenix saved him.

I love these games.

I just saw the motherfucking northern lights for the first time in my life. (They were not this bright in person, my phone camera really went all out.) It was absolutely incredible, I wanted to jump up and down when I first noticed the sky getting lighter. Bucket list item completed (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*:・゚✧

Bonus, the International Space Station decided to make an appearance in the middle of it, too. It's one of the two star-looking things on the right of the first picture.

woah I’m actually done????

there’s a good lesson here notorious procrastinators should never volunteer to hand-draw 52 unique playing cards 

also they’re animated gifs right now because that’s how they’re formatted on the photoshop files and I’m not in the mood to separate them yet.

Here’s the matches I could find:

without this post, undertale wouldn’t exist

I had to look this up because I always thought these cards came out after the game (That’s when i first saw it) but no this post really is over 6 years old, predates even Undertale by years

Every household appliance should follow the same philosophy as GNU software: one thing well.

A toaster should toast things, without breaking down due to thermal cycling.

It should not make a table of what was toasted and when.

A refrigerator should maintain a low temperature, without burning out its motor.

It should not build an inventory and communicate it to a corporation.

An oven should maintain a user-specified high temperature, without starting a fire.

It should not measure the weight of its contents and give dietary advice.

But most of all, none of these things should connect to the internet [of things]. They should be as dumb and robust as possible. They should be future proof by virtue of having no compatibility requirements beyond

  1. energy source and
  2. physical dimensions.

There's a sewing machine in front of me that was built in the mid fifties. Its only compatibility requirements are the physical dimensions of needle and bobbin, and a 230VAC power supply. It is perfectly reliable after more than sixty years and should still be in another sixty. It's solid metal and might well be operable for centuries with very little maintenance. I doubt that the same could be said of modern machines full of plastic and microprocessors.

tl;dr I'm a tech person and I endorse OP's message.
