I don’t think developers truly appreciate the fragility of software until their first run-in with an obscure file format for which the only converter in existence was written by one guy in college in 2003 and released as source only with no comments and requires applying a patch to a library to compile, but it’s not for a release version, oh no, it’s for a very specific SVN revision from a long dead server

Even though old software has not changed, new software has introduced faster, more efficient workflows at the cost of the speed of the software itself. The knowledge and tools to even produce software that uses a few megabytes of RAM is, in practice, lost. We can produce better tools but we cannot produce them for the computers that would benefit most from them. #RetroComputing

one of the mad things about the internet is how you get someone making a living from doing something and then theres 50 other people next to them doing literally the exact same thing just as well and not even getting any attention or appreciation let alone money

ah ha ha we did it

chaining and score multipliers, and a score display, now potentially fully implemented

this has finally reached "playable" status, though there's much more to do before it's "releasable"
