@sos Will literally always go for MegaRace and KGB, given the opportunity. Though those are at VGMRips - I've yet to dive into original compositions!

Today I was pointed to The OPL Archive and somehow ended up listening to some video game bangers!
What's some of the best DOS bangers?

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/
Check them out!
I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html

Pinball Dreams almost saw a stunning conversion to the #Commodore64 , but it seems was abandoned many moons ago now. It is hoped that someone will pick up the project and resume it one day. Thankfully some demos do exist.

While I'm digging through my old watercolor work, here's my big fifteen-minutes-of-fame, frontpage-of-reddit-several-times comic that got retweeted into orbit in the days of Early Twitter, from around 2009-2010.
It's an open secret that if you get a cute fox involved, you're bound to get loads of traction with computer people.
@winampskins Huh - the Runic in use across this skin is almost, but not exactly, the Ultima Runic alphabet cipher. Some of the letters aren't quite right - the title bar almost reads "Dwarven Amp", but using Ultima's cipher, it reads more like "Dharuen Awp." Though it's possible I'm using the wrong version of the cipher; UltimaCodex says at one point, Q and V used the same rune as U.

@dosnostalgic It took until sometime in 2018 for the classic-style, fixed-camera Resident Evil games to click for me. I'd last played one in 2003. I think the sixteen year gap afforded me a change of perspective and let me really understand the games differently. I think I was trying to play them like shooters back then, when really, they're more like Sierra adventures that happen to have shooting in them.

If you have a chance, make sure to visit the Smithsonian Nation Museum of American History exhibit featuring the work of Susan Kare at Design your Own Icon, a hands-on exhibit where you flip black and white tiles to create your own icon on the screen. 😀
