Many years ago I used to work on a Cobol-based application that ran over an 80x25 green screen terminal. People running 30 or 40 users on a 486 PC running SCO Unix hooked up to a multi-port serial card. We'd never have tolerated the amount of waiting between actions or screens that is now considered absolutely normal on web-based cloud-hosted applications. Weird how things change.

it's hard to believe that next year, it'll have been A DECADE since I did the OST for Super Retro Maker, an 8-bit level designer that unfortunately never came out. But it led to many collaborations with the fabulous @maenots.bsky.social, which I am grateful for! #chiptune #famitracker #NES

I’ve been revisiting some retro games lately in order to start gathering achievements on retroachievements.com. Finishing tournament mode in Dead or Alive for PS1 on standard settings was brutal. Less forgiving than Tekken 1. Kinda validates the frustration you had at games as a kid. They were HARD!

I've been running the numbers at the Video Game Soda Machine Project, and it looks like the site has reached 3,562 soda machines spread across 2,210 games dating from c. 1977 through earlier this week. vgsmproject.com

Many of the current #AI “systems point backward, showing us where we have been rather than where we might go. Every answer it gives is a remix of yesterday’s knowledge, polished and repackaged until it feels like something new” - halldoramogensen.substack.com/…

"Hue Hero X" Ult & Co. Software released September 30th, 1999. I felt inspired after seeing the original post made by UltCo_ and Kiddobuh. This is my homage to Hue Hero X reimagined with my own character. #procreatedreams #dreamcast #2000s #lion #cannes

arugulaz.itch.io/shootinanny My latest project, Shootin'anny, now on Itch.IO! It's a target shooter. On ColecoVision. Where you use a trackball to play it. It sounded like a good idea at the time, okay?!

Search looks through the last 36 hours of public posts for your words, "exact phrases", #hashtags, @handles and websites, and also finds posts about the same thing by meaning. New posts join about every 10 minutes. We only include posts whose authors allow logged-out viewing (Bluesky) or search (Mastodon, indexable accounts), and we re-check Bluesky authors each time we show a page. Likes and follower counts never decide the order. For meaning matches, query text is turned into a fingerprint on Wildroot’s own server (EmbeddingGemma-300M); it is never sent to another service. Wildroot does not save query text to disk. Looking for posts like one you have? Similar posts. How to opt out.
