I got contacted the other day by a YouTuber who wanted to do a video about a certain golf game that I'd helped preserve. Dude seems pretty cool, and the video has just gone live, so here's CD-ROM Fossil's take on Loyal "Bud" Chapman's Infamous 18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKLNTg18AQY

While washing dishes I recalled the comic strips from the Simlife manual, which are more memorable than the game was for me
@TonicBH I am living for that 80s slap bass.

Someone said:
“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.
Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”
And after looking into it, I think they’re 100% correct.
@jplebreton @grumpygamer Which just makes this episode even funnier through that lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaG6evVcd-w

@jamiesaker Exactly the kind of computer nonsense that I enjoy reading about and/or doing, so you've earned me as a follow at least. 👍
https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/updates/2024-10-10.html The much-delayed PRGE 2024 edition of the Golfshrine Acquisitions Update! Got a couple of especially interesting and long-needed additions to the Shrine this time around, so check it out - do it for Schmoe. Don't make Schmoe sad. 😦

after lusting for a copy of andré lamothe's Black Art of 3d Game Programming for years, i finally found an affordable copy
it does not disappoint. one of the fatal flaws of 95% of 3d game programming books is that they jump straight into mathematical proofs, instead of explaining in human terms how concepts are relevant to making a game. lamothe's programming concepts are clear, easy to understand, and provide real-world examples before diving into code
to my delight, the book doesn't limit itself to just 3d. it covers every conceivable topic for building a game engine from scratch in MS-DOS - and includes some great chapters on FM and wavetable synthesis!

@winampskins ooh, nice, the Windows "Whistler" (Watercolor) theme. Heard a story once this was a "decoy" theme designed to show off the impending Windows XP's visual theme support without revealing Luna to the world.

The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀
If you'd like these wallpapers for your own similar setup, here are the files, for 1080x1920 and 1920x1200 respectively.
