One of my favourite Wingroove features is that it measures how good your PC is in terms of how many times faster it is than the developer's PC. My Windows 98 VM is 131 times faster, apparently.

Mistigam: in many jurisdictions, #Pride is celebrated in the month of June. It can be a lot to wrap your head around, especially this year, and it might just blow your mind... as depicted here in a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics animation by @pixelblip . This piece, "Together", was included in the MIST0822 artpack collection released last summer.

Playing Symphony of the Night on stream yesterday, I was thrown by this piece of music which showed up out of nowhere. What a tune!

I have no idea why the soundtrack suddenly changed from operatic melodies to 70s pop, but I have zero complaints.

(Does give me flashbacks to the half-horses that murderise you on sight, though.)

The first two "screens" of trying to read an article titled "We used to get excited about technology. What happened?"

THIS. THIS HAPPENED.

#RIPscrip, as a vector art format, consists of drawing instructions. As such, if one were to view the original RIPscrip file for this image on a contemporary computer, or through an appropriately-coded modern viewer, they will be able to see the individual shapes used in the picture draw themselves one by one, as shown here in this GIF:

A little something different from my #NerdStitch archives. Prince of Persia from the Apple II, I recreated the main character running animation in 8 frames of cross stitch and then attached them to a hand crank flip book kit to make it go.

Quake (1996)

Y’all ever wonder what the game you’re working on in World Builder for Macintosh System 6 would look like on the @playdate and then accidentally start designing and coding it a little bit? Haha this is rhetorical question it happens to everyone

1980s arcade game designers hid their names in high score tables: a long growing list of classic high score screens and their known credits https://thehistoryofhowweplay.wordpress.com/2023/05/14/arcade-authorship-high-score-table-credits/

The biggest disappointment of the 21st century is that doors still don't sound like this when they open.

I acquired (with help) a killer audio cassette digitizing rig, and then IMMEDIATELY had to spend over 2 months digitizing 90+ cassettes from the 1999 Game Developers Conference (via a slow-and-steady workflow that got the job done without being too disruptive to any other work I was doing).

So, here we are, it's done. Go enjoy 70+ hours of presentations about all aspects of game making and producing, in 1999.
