Come take a trip with me down memory lane:
CD-MAN (DOS, 1989)
I used to play this as a kid in the early 90s. Before that I had only seen Pac-Man on the Atari 2600, which was a rather lousy version of this classic.
Here you had to collect keys to unlock parts of the map. Also, no ghosts, but spiders instead. CD-MAN still looks like Pac-Man tho 😆

Freedom alone was never enough. For freedom to be worth anything you have to care about people, understand their experiences, know the limits of your own perspective. You have to understand the ways in which people are vulnerable where you are not.
Freedom that doesn't care about other people is simply Ego.

ugh this happened again - thought I had fixed it. Don't use fedora coreos yet folks - it's definitely not production ready at this point
I'm watching someone play phantasy star II and realizing I've only ever played this game on a crt. it looks so weird to me on an lcd

one of the worst things with ADHD and depression is that sometimes you CAN get things done, you just can't get the ball roiling to start doing it in the first place. like I just washed hella dishes and cups I've had sitting there for a few days because I couldn't focus enough to clean them for 20 minutes. and then when I forced myself as hard as I could, I was able to do it so fucking easy once I got the ball rolling.
and it's just frustrating as fuck, to know that like you CAN do these things, but there's this mental drain or block on the ability and willpower to go and do them that makes you feel so fucking stupid when you go and finish the task
