My homebrew Donkey Kong project is kicking off tomorrow now that I have the fire department's ePortal OK for the flaming barrels so long as I keep it to less than 50 people in the building. Just hope the gorilla keeps on task, as that lame-ass consultant whinged that "Throwing barrels is not a natural behavior for gorillas." Duh. That's why I spent so much time training them. But they do seem unmotivated, Maybe I had better rile them up beforehand. Can you imagine how mortifying it would be if the gorillas weren't hell bent on throwing barrels and making everything on fire?</p><p>This is clearly my best idea since Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. As usual, drinks *after.* The Fire Department ePortal insisted on it almost as much as the Spider-Man stunt coordinator.</p><p>But the ePortal's endless questioning gave me an idea to make sure no one sneaks out to the open bar before I get out of costume: I will lock the doors before we begin. It's just for the 15-20 minute of the actual show, so no late admissions!</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mathstodon.xyz/users/Arpie4Math/statuses/117398229057616169</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mathstodon.xyz/users/Arpie4Math/statuses/117398229057616169</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[arpie4math@mathstodon.xyz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 06:33:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to the tech industry is about to invent books on Wed, 07 Oct 2026 06:33:16 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="https://mastodon.social/@MattBinder">@<span>MattBinder</span></a></span> I fear your are terribly overestimating the results to expect here.</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mastodon.gamedev.place/users/kevingranade/statuses/117398227967324175</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mastodon.gamedev.place/users/kevingranade/statuses/117398227967324175</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevingranade@mastodon.gamedev.place]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 06:33:16 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to the tech industry is about to invent books on Wed, 07 Oct 2026 06:28:15 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/steve%40social.coop">@<span>Steve</span></a></span> <span><a href="https://mastodon.social/@MattBinder">@<span>MattBinder</span></a></span> you mean what audible already is for audio books?
