Was pong on the Telstar, along with Tennis and i think two more similar super basic games? That’s what we had

Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories
I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.
Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.
I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.
I don’t see them natively on the play store or F-Droid, but you can install them through Termux (handy terminal environment for android). You’ll probably need to install openssl first. In termux, type
pkg install openssl
and accept any defaults. After that’s done, do
pkg install lynx
(or links, or w3m - I like them better than Lynx, but it’s fun to try them all)
and just fire it up by typing lynx
once it’s finished installing. I enjoy seeing which sites work in text-only mode and which don’t. The number is steadily decreasing, as you might imagine.
Lynx is a text-based browser typically used from the terminal. I prefer the Links browser myself (another text-based one) but they’re both great for simple web browsing and avoiding all the distracting images and javascript nonsense. Also a great way to test how accessible a site is to the visually impaired who use screen readers.
We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating
