No, it's a decoy!

the year is 2005. PHP is the easiest language to deploy on my apache server, since I just need to drop some files in, and not have to set up any new services.

1. Create a problem.

2. Sell the solution.

3. Profit.

@Lacey Nope. Just arrived this summer.

@pusakat Kaboom! (it's pretty close the 2600 version, but a 2nd player can play as The Mad Bomber)

And the excellent Castle Crisis (Warlords clone, up to 4 players).

I also love all the 1-star reviews of Wii power adapters. "It won't fit my Wii U!" 🤦‍♂️

Lazyweb: I have a US Wii here in the UK, and random ancient forum posts seem to indicate that simply getting a UK power adapter should work. A local retrogaming store warns against that, and recommends a step-down converter or just buying a UK Wii (& re-buying all our games). Anyone have a concrete answer? #wii #retrogaming

Biblically correct Clippy.

(Be not afraid.)

Clippy from MS Office, except it's two paperclips at right angles to each other, and there 9 eyeballs all over this monstrosity. The eyeballs each have an eyebrow in Clippy style, and they honestly suggest that the eyeballs might be whirling a little.

There is a dialog/word balloon coming from this creature, saying "It looks like you are afraid." Then in a Biblical-ish font it says "BE NOT AFRAID". There are two buttons, labeled "I am afraid" and "I am not afraid."

McDonald's uses an AI chatbot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security vulnerabilities as basic as using the password "123456".

@Recta_Pete Oh wait, they're ALSO 9px wide. Dangit

@Recta_Pete Except for the coupla lowercase letters with descenders, we could totally steal the font on the Atari 8-bit. Since they're generally 8px tall, we'd need a blank scanline between text lines. 😈

@inverseatascii It's REALLY niche! If you're bored, consider it a puzzle. If you just want the answer, I'll post it. It's REALLY REALLY niche.

Does ANYONE else get this joke? (Visual version of a joke my son made, which killed me.)

At least I finally convinced ImageMagick to do the right thing.

Man I have this dumb idea, but am absolutely failing to execute. 6502 is not my strong suit.
