10 years later, Sean Murray still plays the launch version of No Man's Sky, and he still likes it: "It does feel quite barebones in places, but I kind of enjoy that"
"I personally really enjoy it when I'm playing it," he continues. "It has a really weird, esoteric feel, and I think it feels quite different to lots of other games. It does feel quite barebones in places, but I kind of enjoy that. There's a charm to it. It feels weird, and it feels almost like more of an indie game, more niche, which is kind of my taste to some extent. I'm kind of into that."

🚀 Oh, finally, Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a has been resurrected and slapped onto x64, because who doesn't crave vintage word processing with a side of extra research features? 😂 GitHub's latest adventure in digital archaeology might just be the solution to a problem no one had, but at least now you can write in style like it’s 1989—on your 2023 machine! 🤦♂️

@sarahalang Thanks for this! If you CTRL+H 'history' with 'archaeology', it reads almost as well, though we have a slightly longer tradition (starting in the 50s) and a more distant relationship to text-centric Digital Humanities.
Will be a very handy citation when trying to communicate that no, I'm not talking about 'big data'!

🔍 OldaVista: where you search in 6 languages for Britney Spears’ smelly feet and Moffatts fanfic, all while pretending it's still Y2K! 📼✨ Because who needs modern search engines when you can browse an archive of random 2001 treasures like a true digital archaeologist? 🕵️♂️🔎

🕵️♂️🔍 In a stunning revelation that's sure to baffle, the Pentagon is on high alert 🚨 over Israeli espionage. Meanwhile, NBC's website is an archaeological dig through 2000s-era web design, suggesting that the real threat might be their outdated browsing advice. 💾📺

Ah, the "S-100 Virtual Workbench"—because nothing says cutting-edge like emulating a 40-year-old computer bus 🤖💾. Who needs modern tech when you can play digital archaeologist in your spare time? 🏺🦕 Maybe next, they'll release the 'Virtual Abacus' for all the hipsters needing retro calculations! 🔢😅

[problem solved] Has anyone got a copy of the CAA Proceedings 2012? My university doesn't have a Taylor & Francis ebook sub and the more, ehem, nefarious routes to finding such things has failed me.
doi: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003690962
Specifically I want to have a look at the chapter "The Long and Winding Road" by Verhagen et al.

😆 Ah, the Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux—because nothing screams "cutting-edge technology" like a fossilized OS gasping for relevance! 🚀 It's a digital archaeology dig where Codeberg's finest laboriously resuscitate 64 #Assembly, proving once again that nerds will do anything to avoid doing anything useful. 🖥️💾

Just back from the 53rd CAA conference in Vienna! 🏛️ A packed week – I presented the KIŠIB project, co-organised an archaeogaming session with Aris Politopoulos (10 talks, consistently high quality!), and was impressed by new approaches to automatic cuneiform translation.
The organisation was excellent, and the ice breaker was hard to beat. New blog post with my full report:https://itsmoreofacomment.com/2026/04/10/caa-2026-in-vienna-a-conference-report/ -
Ah, the digital archaeologists have risen from their basements to resurrect a 1991 classic, because clearly, Civilization 1 was just *too cutting-edge* for modern minds to handle. ⚰️🔧 Meanwhile, #GitHub is busy drowning us in #buzzwords like "Copilot" and "Spark" to make sure we know they're still pretending to invent the future. 🚀🙄

🚀 Breaking news: someone ported a 1990s graphics driver to an obscure OS from the same era! 🎉 Only die-hard retro-computing enthusiasts and digital archaeologists are losing their minds over this groundbreaking achievement. 😂 Next up: getting Doom to run on a toaster. 🍞

🎉🥳 Oh joy, another riveting 13-minute piece promising a 2-minute hack! 🎈🚀 Apparently, Claude Code users are still in the Stone Age, grepping around like digital archaeologists. 🗿🔍 Install #LSP and watch your codebase confusion level drop from "headless chicken" to "mildly lost puppy." 🐔🐶
