darreninthenet, to technology in Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News

This article is a pretty good summary of why, by Google’s own words, an ad driven search experience will be rubbish:

pluralistic.net/2023/10/03/not-feeling-lucky/#fun

Not only does Kagi produce great search results, as good as “old Google” IMO, its business model means the above cannot (or at least, shouldn’t) happen. If it ever changed its model to include ads etc it would collapse so fast.

So for me, unlike the other poster, I’d recommend it to everyone who’s finding the existing search engines are rubbish and full of useless Etsy and SEO etc links.

Did You Know⁉️ MYST actually had a short-lived comic book run.

It was originally planned as a four-issue series. Though it sadly never made it past Issue #1 🤯

You can check out Issue #0 and Issue #1 right here in THE VIDEO GAME LIBRARY 📚

I want to let everyone who voted in this poll know that I am travelling to a museum today to take photos and attend a guided tour on the subject of ideal nudity in ancient art.

I will share photos and write about the tour on my blog ☺️

I hope everyone is pleased with the reward 🙂

Saturday morning pull from #TheVideoGameLibrary 📚 ☕️

Even though the Amiibo craze has died down, still enjoy flipping through the pages of Paul Murphy’s “Amiibook”.

Did you guys get into Amiibo collecting?

Two of the Women Who Programmed the ENIAC, Penn, 1946.

Iconic photograph of Betty Jean Jennings (left) at edge of photo inserts a deck of cards containing initial data on which the ENIAC will operate, while Frances Bilas (right) removes a set of cards representing the result of the proceeding computation.

Gehts noch?!

Or is there anything else you'd love me to do instead? Comment!

I've been checking out a ton of PICO-8 games lately. One of my fav things that some game devs do is unlimited lives.

I get the whole "3 strikes and you're out" in baseball, and sometimes in life, but like... I don't want to die, I want another chance. Let me try again and again! (In games & life.)

I did see a game where it gave you 100 lives, and that's cool too, because you know what? We all screw up sometimes.

99 more chances to get it right is still pretty good.

Have you ever actually beaten ?

If so (or even if not 🤷‍♂️), recently catalogued this rare novel.

It was published by Konami back in 1988, and follows an original story with characters Bill and Lance.
