PLAY COMPUTER GAMES FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD

not too long ago, I made a list going of all the PC games I could recall playing as a kid. I wanted to relive those precious afternoons I spent losing track of time in the computer lab of my public library. I recently found one of my favs, Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside (1996) on Steam. playing it as an adult brought me so much joy, I can't even tell you. and the reviews on Steam made me smile so much, especially the one below (hilarious). I also realized that Pajama Sam is voiced by Pamela Adlon (Spinelli Recess, Bobby King of the Hill, etc.) which is cool af. so go find those games you used to play & travel back in time! I was shocked with how much I remembered. plus there's nothing like hearing those 90's sound FX, they just don't make em like that anymore. :')

being 12 and playing thps for the first time

I had a nostalgia flashback a few days ago, and it felt like I was still there at my aunt and uncle's house in Middleton, Massachusetts playing this for the first time. I remembered the view out the window, sitting on the hardwood floor, and the menu music playing out of the huge rear-projection TV set (I'll be able to press play on that song in my brain at any given moment for the rest of my life.) I had never really had a flashback like this before, but I got really emotional. This week has personally been one of the hardest for me in a long time, and in that moment, I wanted to be back there so badly when everything was so much easier.

Being Generative

The most magical feeling I know is the feeling of making. We live in a magical time. There are new tools to create instant songs and images and games and tools to create tools. I love making things with these tools, being generative, bringing group chat jokes to life. Collaboration is now possible when you’re all alone. But I also love being generative in more old school ways like using the techniques found in this incredible collection, The Surrealist Book of Games.

Unicode Characters and Kaomojis

Sometimes words are not enough so I recommend using unicode characters and combinations to communicate instead. Here are some of my favorite Unicode characters: 𓅸ꙮރ ྀི𓋤𐌕𓍯𓃹𓋜𓏲𖧻𓋫𖡎 ౨ৎ𓄯◌݉ ྀི 𓆫𑜸𓃛𓎛🀙𖭝𓆒୨୧    ꙰ 𛱠𓋇⟣𖡍𓍊ዣ𝑳𓆞𒆙𓆰𑜷ೀ𓆇◌្𓄧ᭆ𖤈𓇻𓄦 🀥⚭𓄒𖠖 ᭓𓆝ꮺ𖡫᭄𐩕🀦𑗗𓇼ִ ࣪𖤖 𖠘 𖠶𓁙.ೃ࿔𖡊🃝 𓆑𖡗𓆨𖤍 𖡹𖢅𖢄𖥓𖤒𖦄 𖥚𖤜𖣂𖤒𖦹𓇗  ༘⋆ᰔᩚೂ ༊𖭜ℓ🝮ൽ𒓡𖣂𑱡𒑆𓍼 ༘𑜸ꣃ𓃗꙳, click here  or  here  if you want to search and find out what they mean or find your own favorites.
