• A dialog window in Obsidian reading: Confirm entering Vim mode "Vim node is for efficient text editing but can be quite counter-intuitive. If you’re not familiar with Vim, this options might make it look like Obsidian has stopped working. To verify that you know your way around Vim, please enter the command to quit Vim without saving below:” Then there is a small input for your answer and a button reading “Let me enable Vim” (remote)

a cool thing about computer games is that every computer game that has ever been released was in high resolution 3d

• Screencap of an Apple IIgs emulator. White text on blue background: APPLE BOWL The Apple Bowl is a 3-D, Hi-Resolution graphic simulation of a bowling alley. The computed motion of the ball & the pins is derived from the laws of physics. All conditions normally encountered in bowling, such as the direction, speed, spin, and weight of the ball and pins are included with the ball's position to realistically determine the correct fall of the pins, and resulting score. The ball can be thrown from any point across the width of the bowling alley. Its direction, speed and spin are set at the moment of release by the mouse and two keys on the keyboard - the Apple and Option keys. Need Instructions? (Hit 'Y' or 'N')...
• An actual game screencap of the Apple Bowl, depicting a blocky bowling alley in a very low number of colors.

It doesn't seem like there's much modern software development for the apple IIGS. At least compared to other early personal computers. There are decent emulators, a nice GUI operating system, a distinctive look and a fancy wavetable sound chip so there's promising raw material to work with
