@rgegriff I think Pika have have them if she wants them.

@katanova Do I get to choose the fighting style and difficulty level?

@randomgeek "The UI" takes so much of the blame for other decisions that it makes me want to tear my hair out.

Thinking about how that toot that went around last week about how "software exists in a context of constant social change" is making me realize why education products like the PICO-8 often reach for that retro aesthetic.

It's intentionally reaching for a controlled, if not frozen, social context. After all, that helps simplify education materials (I've used this strategy myself professionally). It also keeps marketers off of you from begging for a style refresh so as to "stay competitive". After all, Capitalism is part of that social context.

@rgegriff .............on brand.

@rgegriff Didn't they actually, kinda do this? In a lot of older films there was often a conceit of the rich guy's "private car".

@randomgeek Every time. Yes.

If anyone says "git is a non-blocker", or "just use the Github Desktop app" about git and non-techies, I will know you have never, ever, tried to teach a non-techie about git.

I have written an intro to git course three times in my career.

And that was before Apple ruined the concept of *files* for an entire *generation* of computer users.

@antijingoist wait, really?
