Of all the Sega Super Scaler arcade games, this is by far my favourite. It looks stunning, and despite it being full on, is very playable, much more so than Afterburner or Space Harrier imho. I love the tilt as you drift round the corners.

My Namelib is finally available! It can read in ASCII text in a language, and spit out names that vaguely sound like that language, giving each faction or region in your game its own flavour. You can get the library on its Itch page: cyningstan.itch.io/namelib #msdos #gamedev

/me wondering what the RTX Spark Linux support is like. I'm curious to see the benchmarks and power draw from these. I note they have a relatively large 92.5Wh battery. Priced between the equivalent 14" and 16" M5 Pro MacBooks ... but Lenovo will regularly have 5-20% off on web orders.

I had been using this photo to help promote the next #Norwich #Amiga Group meet on 16th October, which is unfortunate given the AI fiasco the Oliver Twins created for themselves recently. Anyway... this photo and this version of Dizzy are not AI slop, and neither are we so come and join us...

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Experimental MSU-1 streami. #123
nasonliu wants to merge 2 commits into a
agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

#MODtober Day 4: Remember those 3 weeks when games used tracker tunes for soundtracks? "Dimension 2012" by Necros. A Fasttracker (not FT2) tune using 8 channels. Used in the 1995 game "Crusader: No Remorse" from Origin but also in Digital Psychosis musicdisk. Played in TrackMeister

Yes. And if you do anyway, you will gain very little. No learning, no respect. This is how it’s playing out in other retro communities, and how it’s played out for other creative pursuits. Talk to actual human people about your idea. If it’s that great someone will bite.

You can play #StarCadre Team Command on any #msdos machine with at least an 8088 processor, #cga or Hercules graphics, and 512k RAM, and it also plays well in DOSBox. Feedback is welcome, as are donations if you enjoy the game! Get it from cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-t... #ibmpc

A screenshot of Star Cadre: Team Command, with the Debriefing screen showing a perfectly completed mission. High performance merits a special reward, in this case a donation of 3000 credits, enough to buy some extra equipment or fund one team member for a month. Success at any level can open up new missions. And if the player advances to more difficult missions, a handsome 3000 credit increase to the monthly budget can fund an additional team member.

Just a fresh reminder that physical keyboard handheld computers like this are available in abundance thanks to 3D printing, raspberry pi, and things like that. Either in kit form or to buy pre-made on aliexpress etc Making your own tech or having it made for you really is the essence of cyberpunk.

Why are PS1 textures so often 64x64? At 16 colours that's 4 bits a pixel: 64 x 64 x 4 bits = 2,048 bytes, exactly the PS1 GPU's texture cache. And all of it shared 1 MB of VRAM with the screen itself. 138 textures made that way: heyheythere.itch.io/psx-textures #GameDev #PSX #PS1 #RetroGaming

A red brick texture tiled three by three with one 64 by 64 pixel tile outlined, beside its 16-colour palette and the sum: 64 x 64 x 4 bits = 2,048 bytes, the PS1 GPU texture cache. 1 MB of VRAM, shared with the screen itself.

A PS1-style hospital room built from the textures: stained teal tiles and peeling plaster, barred windows, a steel door under an exit sign, and a pool of blood on a checkered floor.
