Hey look, it's Outlaws running the Direct3D driver. Not really much of an improvement visually, though you can see the bilinear filtering at least.

Probably better to play this in software mode in general. I don't think bilinear adds much to the textures, and you lose part of the HUD as well (can't remember why we didn't include that).

Carousel, my DOS "typewriter" and latest labor-of-love homebrew project, is now officially released. Aaaahh! Scary and fun!

There's a li'l in-game carnival prize up for grabs for the first 25 downloads, too. ;-)

inspired by an @foone post, I've been working on a Mastodon to POP3/SMTP bridge that enables email clients on retro and modern machines to read and post to Mastodon. It supports images (both posting and viewing), replies, and HTML/Unicode. Plus it's written in rust, for the hacker cred. Check it out, I'd love to see what machines can talk to it!

You Can Call Me Al - Frank Top

I wrote a comic about waffle fries.

LOL, didn't realize you could click on the "You Win!" screen and keep playing.

My mission was to rescue Gabriela, so after resuming, I clicked on her and added her to my inventory(?)

Not quite sure what to do with her, though. I tried bringing her back to the tavern but it won't let me put her down there. Guess she's mine to keep? 😜

Screw "this meeting could have been an email".

What about "this YouTube video could have been a blog post"?

The fact that there is no current gen remake of Burnout 2, 3, or Split/Second is a crime against humanity. A crime against me, at least.

I once knew an artist who painted portraits that were widely acclaimed but in midlife he suddenly switched to making glass boxes with rocks in them, just ordinary rocks that to him looked meaningful in a particular arrangement. Nobody else ever liked the rocks, even his wife didn't like them, and after a few years he went back to portraits without having gotten anyone to see what he saw. Now, whenever I try to do something really different in my writing, I think, "Is this my rocks?"
