Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 20/09/2026Trying to decide if I should replace this with an English version of the Kadokawa Shoten logo in the English version of Magic School Lunar... I don't know if there *was* an official English logo back in the 90s. I've only seen the more recent "Kadokawa" version. 2120

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 09/09/2026Very interesting statement here in a blog post about a developer adopting the EUPL. I don't disagree, but this certainly hasn't been a popular opinion in OSS circles for a bit. The vibe may well be changing. (Emphasis mine.) bergie.iki.fi/blog/eupl/ 0110

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 08/09/2026Got reminded of that time I had to fix some extremely weird parse cases when working on a Director game in ScummVM: www.mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/20... 050

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 01/09/2026Well, looks like they're finally cutting it off. I guess it had to happen someday but I wish I liked 1password 8 as much as I like 7. 5121

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 25/08/2026I'm mostly just impressed by this text consistently implying North American players should have ever heard of this game at all, which they wouldn't have archive.org/details/Game... 3121

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 24/08/2026Huh, yeah. I wondered if that used thinner spacing in the original game, but it didn't. I do suspect it's a different text rendering routine though, so it would have taken more work to redo it completely. 010
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 24/08/2026Pretty much all of this looks like speculation, I'm not sure it's all that accurate. Things licensed via the orphan works law have to have a clear statement that's missing here, which tells me that's not what happened here! eg this was the copyright statement from LRG's Little Samson trailer: 140
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 20/08/2026I remember Safari having proper feed support builtin at one point! Apple marketed as a major feature in their Mac OS X Tiger marketing materials. Likewise with Firefox. Losing it was a real issue. 120
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 18/08/2026Yes! Exact same script across DOS, Turbo CD, X68000 and FM Towns. (Maybe more ports too?) I know that Kyodai was a joint venture between Broderbund and the Japanese developers they were licensing from. I wonder if Riverhill took a more active role in the script and retained the rights vs Falcom? 010
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 14/08/2026Hmmm okay, I just noticed something interesting - if you try to use the share sheet for that video on youtube, it has this big "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner" message. The other one you linked that wouldn't preview here had the same thing. 110

Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 01/08/2026Very funny remembering a time when cloning the Winamp UI was the coolest thing you could do for music software. 0130
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 30/07/2026Huh weird, the actual source from that quote doesn't actually specify the project at all. I guess the interviewer thought the quote was more interesting in general than in the context of a specific game. 130
Misty De Méo @cdrom.ca · 27/07/2026Anyway if you ever wonder why Samus has a blaster cannon for an arm and is a "bounty hunter", it's because they wanted her to be just like this guy 311431
