@Jo iirc I remember not being able to beat Veronica Voltage in a time trial race which was incredibly frustrating lol https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Veronica_Voltage

Seeing the new Lego Rocket Racer minifig [1] gives me so much nostalgia playing the old Lego Racers game on PC [2] as a kid. One of my favorites. Want to see if I can play the N64 version on my Linux laptop!

Watched The Secret of NIMH last night after seeing it recommended enough. Yeah, it's really good. Still thinking about it.

Learned of nice command line tool called doggo.

> doggo is a modern command-line DNS client (like dig) written in Golang. It outputs information in a neat concise manner and supports protocols like DoH, DoT and DNSCrypt as well.
