i previously have been borrowing a different neighbor's industrial vacuum but that's not consistent!

weird question: i rarely buy anything but does anyone have a recommendation for a vacuum / dustbuster for a studio apartment? small, affordable, well-made?

i thought about purchasing one with my neighbor to share but she is moving out in a a few months.

This looks super useful!

LOL someone I don't know sent me a video (on instagram) of themselves speedrunning my game Gobi (a minimalist desert survival strategy game)

@notimetoplay ah cool, i've now tried yours out, the ZX Spectrum one not the lua one. i liked it, and very similar to mine! but i couldn't get to the end, i gave up 😂

@notimetoplay trying to find more of these kinds of things. i previously thought of it as a type of resource management game like Lemonade, Dopewars, Hammurabi

@notimetoplay i don't know if this is stupid, but i waited to finish my own before trying your "Lost in the Jungle" out. I'm assuming similar motivation. Am I correct based on reading your description that this is a "survival strategy" game?

it's very much a retro recreation, so i hope it is interesting for other folks, but no guarantees! it's a labor of love, mostly made to share with my sibling

I was motivated to recreate a shareware game I used to play 25 years ago, with my sister, on a CD-Rom of 100 games for Mac. (system 7?). I don't know the name of that original game but have attempted to implement my own version. it's a resource / survival strategy game like a simplified Oregon Trail game. Plays in the browser, has a pretty good soundtrack!
