44 years today since 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends' first aired, running for 3 seasons from 1981 to 1983. Featuring the team-up of Spider-Man, Ice Man, Firestar, who was specifically created for the show before later crossing into the comics, and one of the most fundamentally important Marvel characters and eventual member of the Pet Avengers, Ms. Lion (no I will not be debating this indisputable fact). With several guest appearances from characters like the X-Men, Thor, and Doctor Strange.

Great article by @christopherdrum about the legendary Deluxe Paint (DPaint) Amiga pixel editor:

I dearly miss a mention of @PyDPainter though, the most authentic DPaint recreation I know, available for Windows and macOSโฆ

Sometimes, I miss certain aspects of the old internet ๐ด๐ป:
- Usenet via NNTP (discussion threads in plain text)
- Chats on IRC (chat without bullshit)
- Simple websites that were about content and passion instead of monetarization, tracking and advertisement.
Meanwhile the modern net in 2025:
- Ads and intrusive tracking omnipresent
- Centralization, platform economy, gate keeping and entshittificatiion.
- Overregulation and legal pitfalls everywhere.
The Fediverse is a step into the right direction: Open protocol, decentralized and community driven, in a time where huge parts of the net are simply driven by corporate greed and governments that want to regulate everything.

Tonight, I'm having an absolute blast playing around with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 4.0 and its "Experimental Jet Aircraft" from the "Aircraft & Scenery Designer" expansion.
Seeing this old game, which is so dear to my heart, running super smooth in full SVGA resolution and with all of this extra in-game content makes my inner 12 year old jump up and down from excitement! This is what retro gaming is all about!
