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
pronouns
@pamela I use it as a shortcut for she/her or they/them (either okay) when there isn't enough space to write it out (i.e. in a zoom meeting display name)
