Where could I find a CRT Monitor in Eugene? ========== I picked up an old Amiga 500 recently and unfortunately no display that I currently have works with it.

@punkisundead absolutely opposed to it. From my experiences in the local activist scene which tends to emphasize left unity, it's especially shitty as an anarchist to be talked down because of my issues with tons of hierarchy and abuse in those orgs because "we've gotta have left unity". The only solution I can think of is to split off and commit to anarchist principles, knowing that it will alienate many.

@kescusay @AncientFutureNow I'm personally more annoyed about people (including on occasion the cops themselves) who drive and park right in the middle of the bike lane. Seems to mostly be a problem around Dave's Hot Chicken, likely because they have curbside pickup even though the building is surrounded by bike lanes so there's no real curb to speak of.
Either way, I'm not so sure that arresting people would be particularly helpful for either problem. There's got to be another way, somehow.

@bamfic I would argue instead that it really doesn't matter what people do. The decision to close the hospital has already been made and probably won't be reversed. Starting from the assumption that no action will do anything for this, why should it matter what people do regarding this, as long as it's not hurting anyone?

[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the [#Commodore64](https://emeraldsocial.org/tags/Commodore64) as part of a [game jam](https://itch.io/jam/ssjnarrative) Some things I learned when making this: 1. It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish 2. Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways) Edit: I released the game! Check it out [here](https://ch0ccyra1n.itch.io/sungem)!

I made a horrible mistake with my first game So for context: I'm a programmer and I like the idea of not using a game engine, but I have no real prior experience with game development specifically. I thought it was a good idea to make a text adventure game (think Zork) in C, since the language offers great portability, including the ability to run code on the [6502](https://cc65.github.io/). Also a text adventure game made sense because I can't make art and idk anyone else who wanted to work on a game with me. This was a *terrible* idea for a few reasons: 1. A text adventure game is impossible to make with a small scope 2. My from-scratch engine wasn't really designed with modifying the game data mid-development in mind 3. I have no clue what I'm doing. I just don't know what to do now. Any ideas? [@gamedev](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev)

I love having an entire live TV channel dedicated to re-runs of old Star Trek episodes ---------- Ok so, I have a little Kodi setup which includes a live tv system hooked up to Pluto so I can grab a bunch of channels for free. Turns out, this includes not one, but *two* whole channels of just Star Trek! The first one is mostly TNG and the original series, and the other one ("creatively" called More Star Trek) has mainly Voyager and Deep Space Nine. I like these because I don't even have to think about what episode to watch, and can just enjoy some Star Trek! The only downside to this is well, ads lol [@startrek](https://startrek.website/c/startrek)
