  1. These are the 1970s gaming consoles I included in #PocketCollection so far. Of course there where more than 16 devices released over the decade but not all left a mark. Which ones do you miss? Please let me know in the comments!

  2. Some images of #PocketCollection running on an unmodded #Nintendo #GameBoy. You know, I like modded screens but it’s the look on an original DMG that really gives me the chills. It reminds me more than anything else of the lil’ wonder Chris Maltby worked when he created #GBStudio to let people like me bring their ideas to a piece of 36 years old hardware. 🖤

  4. Do you know consollection.de/? I bought one of their excellent posters over 10 years ago and that poster was partly the inspiration for #PocketCollection. Their console images make ideal references for my #pixelart – thanks for your thumbs-up, Patrick and Phil! 🖤

    Speaking of which: is there a gaming console that I shouldn‘t forget to include in the project? Let me know!

  5. @Prozak You're absolutely right—running 20B+ models locally can be quite costly. From a purely economic standpoint, your setup with LiteLLM + Ollama + cloud for heavy lifting makes the most sense for most people.

    However, I still find myself drawn to the idea of experimenting with a local setup, even if it's not the most cost-effective choice. There's a certain appeal to tinkering with hardware and having full control over the system. It's not just about efficiency; it's about learning, autonomy, and the satisfaction of building something with your own hands. It's akin to building a custom PC just for the enjoyment of the process—sometimes, the journey itself is the reward!

    Have you ever felt the urge to go fully local, even if just for the experience? Or are you firmly in the "hybrid is the best approach" camp?

  7. Design the game YOU want to play. You're going to be its number one playtester during development. If you aren't passionate about the core concept, you'll burn out long before it's done. Make it for yourself first. (4/9) #TTRPG #IndieRPG #GameDesign #PassionProject

  8. This is how #PocketCollection looks like in action. The consoles are sorted in order of their release dates and clustered in decades, from the 1970s to the 2020s. Use the D-pad to navigate through the entries.

  10. New comic about exhaustion, types of it, with a side of covid awareness (my character always masks outside in crowds etc.), and also 150th comic in the series. (:

    Please share, like, do the stuff to help my comic spread awareness about #idiopathichypersomnia to those who have not yet heard about it!

  12. I think I'm finally starting to get my head around shoehorning #FallOfDeltaGreen into #FoundryVTT's #GUMSHOE system module.

    It won't be a full implementation by any stretch—that's well beyond my current abilities—but it should handle player-facing stuff nicely, with descriptive text from the rulebook so ability info (forex) is at the players' fingertips. Plus, I can drag-and-drop qualitative traits onto the sheet rather than type them up for each PC.

  17. My big personal #passionproject that I am working on (and have been working on for years) is an #open #original #fantasy #story set in a #world of my own creation. I have a renewed vision for the project and can't wait to get back to it. In the meantime, I decided I'd set up a #mastodon #instance to help myself and others #share #CCBYSA or freer #media. To collaborate, interconnect, and use the internet to its fullest potential!

  21. Almost 900,000 workers in #Australia hold more than one job. That's not hoards of people pursuing passion projects on the side. Rather that's how people cope with the rising costs of living. In relative terms, one in 14 workers now works multiple jobs. For a rich country that is quite frankly not acceptable.

  22. So over-motivated for an idea that I desperately want to bring to life that I'm afraid to begin and don't even know where exactly to start because it actually may not work out. Who is familiar with this? What do you do in such a case?

  24. I don't think of talking about, tooting, and linking my writing as "self-promo," I think of it as sharing my heart and my passion with you.

    Who else out there has a passion project the rest of us can check out right now? Share why you're passionate about it, if you want. Feel free to post excerpts, descriptions, links, even the whole work if it's short enough! Include the hashtag #PassionProject so we can all find and enjoy each other's creativity. ✨

  26. Four Skin, Three Knobs [from the 2001 independent film shot on location in Vanuatu]

    https://www.liminalweb.site/four-skin-three-knobs-2001-independent-film/

    In 2001 I was living in a bamboo hut in a tiny village on the island of Efate in the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.
    My brother and my childhood friend came to visit me and they brought bicycles and a digital video camera.
    That was that. We were going to make a movie. No script. No designated DoP or director. Just pure passion and winging […]
