I've published a new version of my homebrew SNES audio driver. The samples tab has been completely redesigned. It can automatically tune newly created samples and allows the user to drag & drop an external file into the samples list. github.com/undisbelieve... #snesdev #spc700

An interactive spirograph generator I made in 2009 that I still enjoy playing with thelig.ht/spiro.html

At this point I'm convinced the term "Homelab" itself was conceived as guerrilla marketing to get people into buying extra mid-tier computing hardware.

I often hear "constraints are good for creativity" In my experience that's totally wrong. Constraints are super fun for which to engineer solutions but in terms of actually creating the thing you want to create, it's an irrelevant time sink and it actually limits ideas.

Choosing a discrete model that preserves state space properties of your continuous system results in an accurate simulation over drastically more time steps, even at low order. I've always wondered about how to analyze these discrete model choices. Neat www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCg3...

A 19 year old comment on a video of Iwata presenting the Wii for the first time in London. It gives me hope that lateral thinking can succeed in a world of people like this.

Video games are essentially toys and toys are essentially for kids. Making video games for kids is easier than making them for adults but only because making toys for adults is absurd. Adults want to be productive with their time, like work, exercise, or rest. Not play with toys.

Miyamoto led the production of so many games in the 90s that had such powerful emotional appeal. Was it meaningful on its own or was it just a way to maximize shareholder value?

I'm not a huge fan of the Follin brothers but you can tell listening to this track that they were trying to do something timeless and eternal with this track. This is why they are among the greatest of all time.

As a DSP engineer it bugs me that upsampling images using a better approximation of the ideal LPF (rectangle in frequency domain) looks worse compared to a simple nearest neighbor (sinc in frequency domain). I guess human vision doesn't favor blurriness.

All of the C successors aside from Rust amount to nothing more than sugar to me. The persistent online fanfare and proselytization is puzzling. There are so many more interesting things to learn out there than some random person's idea of a nicer syntax for C.

What would be the best way to release/share a mixtape of my current favorite tracks?

Rian Hunter @cejetvole.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Went through all my SoundCloud likes. All the music sounds new even though many of the tracks are like 12 years old. A lot of them deserve rereleases, or something. There's an impossible mountain of unlistened to good music.

Is Chrono Trigger actually the most epic game of all time or am I just biased? Everything that has come along since seems nowhere as good.

Kind of tempted to make a little game that mainly uses Mode 6. Never tried hi-res on SNES before.

After repairing laptops for my family, I will never buy another laptop again. Even expensive ones are shoddily made. They are made to be trashed.

FPGA is cool but I suspect it's overused for low-level realtime applications because we lack a popular realtime software ecosystem. Especially for gaming. If Windows or Linux were proper RTOSes, FPGA retro consoles would be mostly pointless. That would be good for the environment

Microsoft has published no analysis on the potentially unusually large impact on ewaste volume that dropping support for Windows 10 next week would have. It seems they aren't actively taking responsibility there but it's obvious to me in this case that they should.

None of my TVs growing up had discernible scan lines. I'm confused why that's such a popular upscaling filter. If I wanted a nostalgic filter, I would go for something that looks like this. Do filters like this exist?

The delta-sigma ADCs have a reputation of being the most advanced but once you know basic signal processing and control theory, they're actually relatively simple devices. So simple that you can even implement one in Falstad.

This is one of those little details on which much of Fourier analysis is based that is probably not understood by most people using it.

$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \!\!e^{i 2 \pi n x} = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t - k)$

hey, I can tell y'all that I worked on music for this game! I'm in the credits! on a physical SNES cartridge! I helped @randallinden.bsky.social bring to life several more classic DOOM tunes on the SNES's sound chip, expanding its soundtrack while working with the game's original sound driver!
