Centuries before Samuel Johnson's "I refute it thus!" moment.
This gave a good laugh, thanks!
A shepherd is only your friend until you get to the killing floor.
And then he doesn't even like Star Wars? What's up with that?
I have a few questions about these videos. Are the soldiers aware of the drones above them? Are these drones small and quiet enough that you wouldn't notice them unless you were actively looking for them? Why are all these soldiers lying flat? It seems like that makes them much more exposed to these drone-grenade attacks.
Sorry if these questions have obvious answers. I am very ignorant about ground combat and drone warfare, just trying to learn.
"Hmmm, let's do a search to see if anyone else has this problem. This post on Reddit looks promising. This person has the exact same problem as me.
"Wait, it is me."
I've been interested in GNU Taler for anonymous online payments, but it has some problems, namely the documentation is a bit dodgy.
This is good to know. I've been having trouble getting Invidious to work, I'll have to check out Piped as a front-end.
Thank you for reading! Pencilforge is a talented artist, I have been wanting to work with her for a while.

This is an article by SynaMax about reverse-engineering the arcade classic Sinistar. Sinistar is one of the most technically-impressive arcade games of the 1980's, and one of the first to use voice sampling. Using MAME and 6809 assembler tools, he took the entire game apart, and put it all back together better than ever. He even discovered the origins of the famous 'Sinistar roar' sound effect.
He was also able to restore the original title screen from the game (see picture), found in the 1982 prototype.
Hey, RetroGaming,
I'm excited to share this issue of Quarter Up with you. Writers from all over the country contributed to this last issue of 2023.
Our retro game article for this issue is about the reverse-engineering of Sinistar. Sinistar is one of the most technically-impressive arcade games of the 1980s. Our writer SynaMax took the entire game apart, down to the assembly code, and put it back together better than ever. He even discovered the origins of the famous 'Sinistar roar.'
The awesome cover art is by Anna "Pencilforge" Frohling.
