Here are some less mentioned FLOSS games, that are excellent quality:
Fillets-ng (2D fish sokoban)
The Dark Mod (3D stealth game, bow and sword)
Crrcsim (3D model glider flightsim, slope soaring)
Those soakable cloth neck-wraps work as a cheap personal cooler($5).
The Coolify2 works as an expensive personal cooler(~$200).
If you have a fridge, freeze 2 litre ice-cream containers filled with water to make large ice blocks. Then put the block in a tub to melt, and sit your feet on it to stay cool(budget-mode, $cost of tap water)

How Doom's Enemy AI Works
Know your enemy.
This video is an interesting behind-the-scenes look into the capabilities and senses of each different enemy in the 1993 videogame DooM.
- Bonus content and nostalgia:
A look at where consumer available FPS began with Maze Wars+ (1987)
Maze Wars+ was the first experience of a networked-multiplayer-graphical-game for many people, and completely mindblowing for the era.

Perth Aurora Photo thread
I'm interested if anything was visible from the Perth metro area. Will it only show up in dark-sky places away from towns.
Can also post if you saw it anywhere else in WA too. Location, day and time etc.
And Now for my next Number, I'd Like to return to the Classics
TIL - The RTRFM 4 O'clock Classic intro is from here.
Oink! - Don't eat pigs, cos they're made from ham..
A treasure from the past. Print run was 2.5 years through 86-88.
Lying halfway between Buster and Viz, was Oink! A cheeky, pig-themed, politically aware comic, that generated some hilarous lampoons of other comic strips and media personalities.
Great writers, who came from, and went on to do some further outstanding works.
Favourite strip was New Wave Dave.
Looking for the right community to post a comic-strip, that has low-level NSFW(comic nudity).
c/comics says no NSFW in the community info.
Where is an appropriate place to post this? Can be on any instance.
More info: It is a one off art piece. Not an ongoing webcomic.
Dr NIM - A boardgame that is a switched-automaton from the 1960s
A video by mathematician Matt Parker describing the workings of a toy automaton.
[TOMT] A comic strip of devolution. Starts with an office worker pushing a copier out the office tower window, ends up as primitive group chilling around a camp fire.
I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk.
It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art.
First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.
