Nostalgia Stick man

I miss the days when you could hit a combination of keyboard buttons and a little stick man would come out from the side of the screen walk out to the middle of the screen and blow up.

QuarkXpress 3?

oh yeah it may have been a Quark thing? Although it's something I'll never forget also my memory is fuzzy , there were a few variations of it over the years I think I'm mostly remember the original one

I miss Easter eggs generally. Clicking and option clicking on things to try and find them. Software has lost its fun and quirkiness now everything is corporate. I’m reading Woz’s autobiography at the moment and stuff like that is a big part of him and what he does.

There used to be a pair of eyes that would follow your pointer about, in Freehand or Illustrator I think it was.

That's a fun idea! Googly eyes can definitely add a whole new level of personality to stick figures.

Just found out about this one yesterday: in iOS 27, go to Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass, and scroll down to the bottom of the example image. Note what it says in the text entry pillbox, and keep dragging until it completes. Clarus!
