New blog post! In this, the final episode of the BBC Bridge Companion saga, I... finally write a Tetris game.
There's still more to do around the release (I got sidetracked badly this month) so look forward to that in a bit. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcbc

Got the last achievement I needed in Quake: Dawn of the Machine, and successfully beat the New Game+ campaign of it. I'm so cool
Now to stop playing anything Quake for a while and play *literally anything else*

the future is digital only so make sure to download as many games as you want for free from archive.org and vimm's lair
watching an old game show and a question about Minnesota Fats came up
I was pumped to know that before the question even finished!!

I think there should be adult classes for learning things you wouldn't have for not having grown up as a girl.
New on the Secret Area: I hate AI vibe coded game projects.
Terrible machine translations! Barely functional recompilations! It's a hot mess, y'all.

New on Ramen Science!
I travel back in time both with my lunch and with my blog's web design.

the downfall of Tommy Tallarico will never not be funny to me
was looking to get the recent UZDoom, and the second search result was this fake-ass SEO slop likely made with AI
I love the modern internet
Replaying Doom (2016) and was reminded of the SnapMap mode: scores of community Doom levels with a special set of mapmaking tools.
Hearkening back to the old days, yet only usable in the closed Bethesda ecosystem.
Honestly SnapMap deserves a deeper dive now that it's been a decade...
we need more documentation of people playing games like Doom with a flight stick
because unconventional ways to play games will never not seem neat to me
"download SteelSeries GG for free on the Epic Games Store" are words I should not have goddamn read but just did

New on the Secret Area: It's Soldier of Fortune Inc. and the episode "Alpha Dogs."
A computer nerd for the DOD recreates military combat scenarios in Quake, and suddenly gets more what he bargained for.
Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

I swear people who are vehemently so anti "pineapple on pizza" are such weirdos
pineapple on pizza is fine, good grief
