Here is a video that was posted 12 years ago and until just now, it had *zero* views. It’s a fast car going through the mud. youtu.be/L7XQkhL4kGM?... There’s millions of videos hiding under the algorithm that one has ever watched and you can resurface them at stratatube.com

Just FYI: singing from the rooftops about the evils of AI doesn’t make the rest of us blind to the obvious side-effects of using AI presenting themselves in your demonstration/code posts. 😉

stratatube.com is 15 days old. What have I learned in two weeks? ✅ Gamification + abstraction of search The slot machine is the primary way people find videos, by a mile. ❌ Zero-result tolerance When a search returns nothing, users leave and come back later. Dopamine addiction.

Wrote a Windows Mobile 6 assistant that updates Outlook entities via POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model) - which I didn’t know existed this time yesterday. #IndieDev #RetroDev

I just expanded the Stratatube pattern library to 288 patterns, adding 200+ new entries spanning older cameras, phones, editors, game capture, VR uploads, and school projects. This improves discovery of forgotten and zero view videos across more eras and devices. stratatube.com #indieDev #spotlight

I’ve been quietly working on a side project called Stratatube and it’s finally live. It’s a way to discover videos the algorithm never recommends using patterns instead of rankings. Lots of forgotten uploads. Weird, sentimental, human stuff. If that sounds fun, it’s here: stratatube.com #indieDev

Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water, but it’s not too bad at least it isn’t when compared to what it feels like to be hanging around a bunch of game devs acting like you belong when you have to admit you don’t know wtf Hollow Knights is.

To ensure gf64's legacy will live on I have archived his projects that were only given by Dropbox. If you have any that are not included please let me know and I will add them. For Nikona I didn't include that but linked his GitHub page - archive.org/details/gf64...

It was announced on March 24th 2025 that the homebrew developer/porter GenesisFan64 who was also known as GF64 had passed away.Link to the announcement...

I’ve started creating these distraction projects in other facets of my life which is why last week my wife and I both could park our cars the in the garage and why this week one of them has light hail damage.

That was almost nasty. Mild set back with my game this morning because I didn’t catch that Simulant was LGPL licensed. Luckily I wasn’t too far down the rabbit hole but I need to reconsider a few things I’d planned on for the extra work I need to do. #Dreamcast #GameDev #IndieDev

For those in the back: A Discord server is not a suitable, desired, or adequate replace for documentation.

Took a small break from the #Dreamcast to setup a public AOL Instant Messenger server. I wrote a sign up, download, configure wizard and put it up on aimserver.io. The backend is powered by the incredible RAS server (github.com/mk6i/retro-a...) project. I wrote the form in Vue/Node. #retrocomputing

Draw a cube, convert the cube to vertex data, get all fucked up with projection matrices for an hour, read docs, find that KOS will do the hard part, and finally have a 30 second demo to show for your 4.5 hours of effort. ...still better than my last desk job. ☺️ #dreamcast #gamedev #indiedev

Oh! I had the camera backwards and was "hanging" it from the object I was trying to point it at. I am not intuitive.

Cliched or not at this point, “Easy to understand, difficult to master” really does seem to be the path forward for me and my #gamedev experience.

Of all the two player activities, we found “shooting” to be the most fun simply because it was the only one that made sense without any direction. The “race” and “hunting” ones both were over our heads. (2/2)

Seeing as I’ve never much been into games more than casually and I find myself trying to design one, I set up the Dreamcast in my 4 y/o’s room and popped in Sonic Adv. 2 (1/2)

I should have probably started with this, but: My Dreamcast now holds the time and date between boots. Nothing like burning a CDR, go to test it, and having the goddamn date/time thing show up.

I started this project without an idea, etc. I'm just learning what I can make the #Dreamcast do. So far, I have a controllable, stationary camera in 3D space that loads an asteroid field, bkgrnd music, fonts, menu, and networking (BBA) that loads a msg from a server (XML). #Homebrew #GameDev #Sega

I needed a space to share updates on the projects I'm working on instead of flooding the discord servers I'm a member of. For the foreseeable future, I'll be posting about my #Sega #Dreamcast #homebrew project.
