I'm looking for some suggestions for small LCD/OLED/LED screens to make a #PICO-8 handheld. Planning on using a #RaspberryPiW to run it. A while back, I managed to get a kernel going that boots straight into the software.

Where do the makers here buy their equipment? I usually go with Adafruit, but I'm trying to look at other channels. #theWorkshop

Anyone out there in #theWorkshop , #theStudio, or especially #theLibrary - an opportunity beckons.

I wish to give 1 of you unfettered access to all books, textbooks, and audiobooks you can imagine.

ALL can eventually join, but they will have to pass a test not administered by me. That happens only once or twice a month, I believe on the last friday.

If you are interested in hearing more, just dm me the name of the story/tv show/film/book/game that scared you as a child.

I'll be in touch!

@somnius @neauoire Well, what would be a good platform to make a talk page on so this could have a more organized discussion? Any suggestions? Something like Trello? (I've never used it, but I think it's for stuff like this.)

I don't know how many people are actually members of our town, but I think there's enough where it would be manageable as long as it was kept small. If everyone in the town, came and they each get a plus one - what kind of numbers would we be looking at?

I envision this as a actual temporary settlement, where the carpenters among us gather early and construct temporary 'buildings' and a square! I have people with property in the states that would likely be on board, but that's just one idea.

Has Merveilles as a whole ever considered making our virtual world into a real one for a few days? I just thought how absolutely lifechanging an event like that would be for me. I'm so enthralled with the work of nearly every human being in this community, it feels like a Paris in the 20's type situation.

I move to begin talks on organizing "Merveilles Faire" ~ To Build Merveilles ~ as a festival, that could last a few days, and we can all meet!

I'm wanting to find a partner or two to mold minds with for the purpose of constructing a language. The script, the grammar, everything eventually. I'm fascinated with the whole thing, and I've previously made two scripts - more like ciphers - of my own.

Here's some enticing links to get your creativity going:

Happy Valentine's Merveilles!

Quickly download PDF versions of your favorite Wiki articles #theWorkshop #code #wiki # You can download single articles, or hundreds. I posted it to Reddit's /r/DataHoarder, and someone there used it to download EVERY Wikipedia article - 17 million in total.

https://github.com/iiviigames/wikipdf

Write out the names of the articles you want in a text file, 1 per line, and then run my script!

There's 2 versions; HIGHLY recommend the colored version over the classic version!

@neauoire You are so welcoming, not to mention interesting.

Because of that, I'd like to see if you want to do an interview. I have no idea when it will be published, maybe only seen by a few people, and I won't receive anything but the joy of doing it. It's not impossible someone would want to buy the story - but I'd like to tell you more about it in private.

I need to do a poll for game devs here in Merveilles. Anonymous polling apps to recommend?

@neauoire I have a very talented, interesting, and strange friend that I think would seriously benefit from roughing house with the folks of Merveilles.

With your permission, I will extend the hand of invitation. (I can't wait for him to get an avatar if he's accepted, because right now, it's just a blah nothing thing.) :)

Hey everyone! I've had a lot going on lately, car accidents and boring things like that. A full size Coca Cola brand semi backed up into my fiancees car because he got stuck under a bridge and she got her neck all messed up, but she'll be okay soon no doubt. The area we live in has a very low train overpass, and about 8 signs leading up to the overpass letting the truckers know to stop and go back. They never do! :( How's everyone doing though?
