Septapus

I dunno if this is the one I was thinking of, but: septapus.com

Also, it's actually a bot, although at the same time if it uses Discord's API, then it probably counts as a mod too!

I think that there's actually some sort of Discord mod to enable it on there too, afaik!

I can verify that it added a bunch of stuff to each line, and it looks weird from the perspective of other IRC clients; I brought a copy onto my network at the time to see what it'd be like, and it was pretty fun for the short time we played with it!

This story about Microsoft banning the word "microslop" from their official discord is mainly confusing me because
Huh, there's an official Microsoft discord?

I figured they'd be hosting that sort of thing on something they ran themselves. Microsoft Comic Chat or something

I would hope so... Monkeys deserve a chance to express their creativity too!

Did the monkey write the lyrics on a typewriter with enough of both to fill a room?

And when I meant "half and half, I'd have took two pictures of the scene and have them blend into each other with one side being like that photo, and the other being the same thing at sunset!

That looks very reminiscent of the cover concept I have in my head, and have generated examples of, although it'd be cool to have both the moon and the red/orange skies in it, or even having half and half!

If I recall correctly, it would be a Dragonball CPU, named after the anime... A lot of the other VTech laptops used a Z80, oddly enough, especially the ones with the BASIC programming language!

Level, it gets a lot more complicated, between needing a more powerful computer to play!

Coincidentally, there's a rare VTech laptop out there that runs on some sort of Motorola CPU similar to the 68k and was also used in Palm PDAs!

It's fascinating stuff to explore I think!

Yeah ^.^ I played it when it was closer to being new, so I have strong memories of it, though had no idea how to play it properly at the time!

Coincidentally, you also probably heard in the news over the decades about systems like Deep Blue playing against chess masters, which shows how at a high-

I'd say that it's a memorable game because of those animations!

And I thought I sent this, but it seems not: youtu.be/vQ0Bhxw3YAU

It's ancient by computing standards, and it's on one of my radars because it'll run on 808x laptops, although the more power you can throw at it the better!

As for certain metals & microwaves... That's possibly due to the fact that it causes plasma to appear, or maybe that with other substances... Either way, I tend not to fuck around with microwaves, as it'd be just my luck that I pull a Homer and cause a minor nuclear meltdown xD

I once (accidentally) set fire to a bag of microwave popcorn by putting it into a microwave... That was fun.

I agreed with the fireman that I should replace it, especially as it was over 10 years old at that point!

I suggested it because of those neat animations that play out between the pieces, which is likely a dopamine hit: youtu.be/vQ0Bhxw3YAU

Of course, it's insane that's the regular price on GOG & Steam!

Good idea to source a cheap physical copy, although it does run under DOS, so you'd need Dosbox to play it, though I'd recommend DBGL, so you don't need to faff about as much getting the settings right!

I've not played chess in a while, but I'd rate my skill at it as below average to average, as I know how pieces advance, and also how to take them off the board, but not a lot else!

That said, perhaps Battle Chess might help? The digital version of the game is extortionate though... So it may be a-

Wait, Palantir are involved? How soon before we get set sleeping hours, and jailed for sleeping a minute too late? It's bad enough they had their grubby mitts on Persona re Discord, plus as well, that had an Epstein link... I wouldn't be surprised if this does too!

It reminds me of how in the US, they tie health insurance to being employed, which is a terrible, terrible thing to do!

That said though, they are trying to privatise the NHS right under our noses, so...
