This is too cool. Set is amazing as well.

This is hilarious. Thanks for this.

I have zero experience running any sort of moderation and fairly little time to do it myself. If anyone can help out it would be more than appreciated.

I came across this while reading about the new McDonalds Game Boy Color game, and this was my first thought. I doubt many people still deal with this architecture or even have the interest to do so.

Regardless, I'm stoked this is a thing and definitely need to get a copy. It could open up the doors for other retro releases if there's enough interest, and thats a win for everyone, I'd think.

I cross posted this into the News instance when it happened and posted there, but I have a huge amount of respect for him so I'll double up.

In my 30s, I came across Cormac’s writing and was immediately drawn to his style. The Road, in particular, resonated with me after just having my son. Someone recommended it to me, and it just so happened to be shortly after my son was born, and I think it had a significant impact on the way I parent and interact with my children. He’s definitely one of my favorite authors and definitely definitely had an impact on my life. https://lemmy.world/comment/163480

Thanks for everything Mr. McCarthy.

Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?

You hit the nail on the head. Along with self sacrifice and making difficult decisions for the well-being of a child, The Road brings these topics to the forefront.

And thanks for the heads up! I've been really into PKD lately, but after hearing this news, I might need to work my way back through McCarthy.

I haven't heard of LitCharts before, but I might have to give it a try. I tried reading Gravity's Rainbow and basically gave up. This might've saved me.

I've had Blood Meridian on my Kindle for a while now, but haven't had the chance to read it yet. After hearing this news, I think I'll make it my next read.

Either way, you will be missed and thank you for staying with it even when you were destitute.

Well. Said.

I'm working on someone else's code right now and when I think I fixed one thing I break three more. I'm at the point where I just want to build this thing from scratch.

I don't know which one is gonna be more effort.

This is the sentiment I've been rolling with. I normally don't post often, but since the move I've created an instance and posted more than ever.

We have to make what we want. once we have enough content for people to be interested, the users and community will come.
