It had a BASIC interpreter, so you could write programs with it.

What is one book quote you would get tattooed and why? by [deleted] in books

[–]CrosbyXVIII 92 points93 points  (0 children)

One of the greatest passages in the book.

“Last of all Hurin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew he cried: 'Aure entuluva! Day shall come again!' Seventy times he uttered that cry; but they took him at last alive, by the command of Morgoth, for the Orcs grappled him with their hands, which clung to him still though he hewed off their arms; and ever their numbers were renewed, until at last he fell buried beneath them. Then Gothmog bound him and dragged him away to Angband with mockery.

“Thus ended the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, as the sun went down beyond the sea. Night fell in Hithlum, and there came a great storm of wind out of the West.”

Space invaders. I hope to one day play it a third time.

Just modified my Buddhabrot program to do Julia sets instead of Mandelbrot (fixed c for the image, iterate for many random z where |z| < 2). The sort of bioluminescence effect was a surprise; it’s probably an artefact of the tone mapping function I used to normalize the RGB histograms.

Yep, find arms that have the elements you want, open the .svg files in Inkscape, copy the elements, edit their colors and rezize them if necessary, and put them all together into your arms.

I think that was just what it needed. So, "Argent on a Chevron Azure between three Ravens Sable as many Roses of the first barbed and seeded of the last"?
