this is not well known, so i thought i'd share this -
way back in 2020, ars released a short interview with rand miller about myst and the challenges of the cd-rom format. it's mildly interesting, but obviously cut from a much larger tapestry.

they eventually released the full, 2h interview with rand, but very few people saw it. in the extended version, he talks about the very early days of working with HyperCard, from the Manhole to Cosmic Osmo to Spelunx. he goes into obscene amounts of detail with the constraints of working with HC and 80s/90s macs, writing custom XCMD and XFCNs, building in 3d with StrataVision, and using Debabelizer to build palettes.

he does an amazing job of explaining what the constraints were for computing in that era. for anyone curious about what it was like making games in the 80s/90s, i can think of few other interviews that express the realities and joys of working in confined space so well:

There are a lot of Hare this year. Here's one from tonight. #Nunavut #WildlifePhotography #Hare

my involvement with linux and open source started when i was, like, 12. i remember excitedly upgrading to slackware 9. within a year or two of that i had all the computers in my house running as linux thin clients with a centralized NFS homedir fileserver and NIS/YP for login auth. i taught myself networking by building an OpenMOSIX/Kerrighed SSI HPC cluster (all three nodes of it lol) in high school

if the stance of the open source community at the time was some arbitrary "you must be 16+ to engage with us" BS i probably would have fucked off entirely and became a windows server admin, lol. that environment was already so mired in elitism and that kind of ageism would have pushed me away entirely

no one ever taught him how to sit, tragic

have you heard of #webgbcam ?

it's a web tool (PWA even, add it to your home screen!) that uses your device's cameras to simulate the look of the game boy camera! you can record short gifs with it and there's also a 1bpp atkinson dithering mode!
