You don’t have to be an 80’s kid to appreciate the beauty of 8-bit design.
From the nostalgic world of Super Mario Bros. 3 to today’s indie game developers who are still riding the 8-bit design wave - 8-bit design is here to stay.
This inspired us to create this animated 8-bit map of the United States, using its most important tourist attractions, rivers, and mountain ranges.
Fun fact my grandpa was in the Air Force but only because he cheated his way in
So he did a great job with everything all along the way, until he hit got to his marksmanship test.
Now, my grandpa is a great shot. The catch is, he’s left-handed. And the people administering the test did not like that and insisted he shoot righty.
Naturally, he sucked at it. But he had a few tricks up his sleeve. And by tricks, I do mean a pencil.
When my grandpa went up to retrieve his target, the man pulled out a pencil, stabbed a bunch of holes in the center, and called it a day.
The grift worked, he passed with flying colors, and he began a 30+ year career as an Air Force engineer, helping design the B-2 Bomber, and being a general badass.
Also, he’s led me to believe he knows information about aliens, and the man would never joke about something like that.
People are asking about the alien thing. All I know is that my grandpa had access to confidential information and absolutely no sense of humor. He has learned classified secrets and he would never pull a prank. When my mom and her sisters were kids, they once joked about if aliens are real, and he stopped them in their tracks to sternly tell them that they never, ever, ever are to joke about that again.
i want a modern robin hood reboot where it isn’t like gritty hackers or badass con artists stealing from the elite it’s like. florida man shotgunning a beer, putting on a mardi gras mask from the clearance section of party city, then decking jeff bezos in the face and stealing his wallet.
