  The Piña Colada song couple aren't gonna fix their relationship by just finding out some hidden preferences for drinks or vacations, & pretend cheating. They lacked the communcation skills to know this before.

  "This big project is too big, I'm not gonna finish this AND whatever I do for Lisp game jam." "I'll do one of the little projects on my list!" Tool I need is broken. Why was I fucking with this, 6 months ago? No memory.

  Reading manga, watching anime, or reading Cthulhu RPGs, you get the impression that magic is always > tech. "Oh no we can't take guns into the dungeons, they just don't work against monsters!" But that doesn't make any sense. Both have to draw energy from their materials. For psi-type magic, that'd just be whatever energy you have in your body.

  OK, time to haunt another palace! "The home of Satan himself!" man you small-town idiots get all bitchy gossipy when a fancy guy has a couple girls over. And he puts them in his secret room on the first date! Vincent B Smoov. NOW for the best game of Twister. Mob with torches comes to your door, ain't gonna go your way. But at least they let him recite his entire curse! Very considerate! #monsterdon #hauntedPalace1963

  Agnes Moorhead! But as fakey Agatha Christie, meh. Has multiple servants from her city apartment‽ Fuck the past. Lot of exposition, you wouldn't wanna SHOW anything in a MOVIE would ya? Well, that's a hell of a mystery robbery that they solved in the next scene. Not a ghost! It's the wind! Let's just freak each other out about it! I guess the film's supposed to be naturalism, but it comes off as goofy. #monsterdon #theBat1959

  Time to house some haunted hills! Don't watch any remakes of this. "Hi, we're white oblivious people. Do you know the host?" "No, nobody does!" "Well this is sure to be a haunted house." #monsterdon #houseOnHauntedHill1959

  Two of the many things that piss me off with Mastodon-the-shit-software: 1. 512-char toot limit, plain text only. 2. Can't show fucking alt text while expanding an image; you *can* show alt & then expand, but then it just covers up the image, it's probably a bug that it has any usability features at all. 3. Fucking Gargamel. I gotta get off this shit-ass software, try another fedi host, but all my shit's here!

Woman inherits the earth. < Except now every idiot has left the time ship, and is running around chasing dinosaurs, which is STUPID. How about you leave them alone, before they eat you? Also yes, dinosaurs are 100x further back than they went. Oh, good, there's a cave left over from Star Trek. #monsterdon #journeyToTheCenter...

  You have a tool which can see 24 hours into the future. The financier isn't interested in being able to cheat at stocks, thinks weapons dev is more profitable. Computer = theremin noises & random parts bolted to a plywood wall. The excitement of fiddling with knobs until you get a signal! WOW! No other movie has this action! Yet again I hate any movie character named Mark, they're always chumps, or assholes who get everyone killed. #monsterdon #journeyToTheCenterOfTime1967

  String of Death: Don't go in the pool, there's a creepy guy in swim fins! Yes, kids ("kids" being 20-40 year old very white people in K-Mart special outfits) stand by a pool & wave their arms up & down. This butt-cam shit is what people used to watch to get excited before porn was legally avaialble. THANK LARRY FLYNT EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIVES, you have been spared this. Does this fucking Jellyfish song ever end? #monsterdon #stingofdeath1966

  I got up late, haven't been commenting on Hawk the Slayer, but no joke this is one of my favorite fantasy movies. It has so little budget, but it's willing to do *anything* just like a D&D party. Hawk isn't the most emotional dude but he rides & fights OK. Giant & Dwarf are the *best*. I often had half-giants in my old D&D campaigns. The nuns, like all Clerics, are fucking useless. Synth soundtrack's kick-ass. Old Man Palance is miscast as "brother" but...

  Berti Gordon presents, The Beginning of the Ending of the Middle Part II-A: The Metal Years. NEW THRILLS! GRASSHOPPERS! KISSING! ♫ It's natural right baby. ♫ Oh, is this another Mr B Natural short from MST3K? Car 254, where are you? Reporting a 984-2. I just made that up! That's not a real police code! "You won't believe this! Send help!" Yeah, they'll send the loony squad for you. Boring, but also badly-paced & shot in the "dark". #monsterdon #begi...

  FIXME https://mdhughes.tech/tools/fixme/ I keep most of my project planning in comments in the source files. TODO: Usually main file has a bunch at the top, then I put more where I should add things later. FIXME: Above or on the line where I know I need to keep working, this is broken/suboptimal. XXX: Incomplete, often just needs cleaning up. NOTE: Not a problem yet, but keep an eye on this. Often I just find these while browsing my code, but to get a proper task list, I type

  Having seen a reference to the Jargon File, I went & looked at it again. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/ Why can't we have anything nice? The ESR update was super useful, nobody cared about most of the MIT TMRC stuff now, LISP was obscure, Unix won. Anyone today using a Lisp, even Medley, runs it on Unix (or Windows? Is someone so debased?) Early Internet & Unix needed documenting, & ESR stepped up, seemed fine at the time. He made an Intercal compiler! Then he turned into a...
