I wonder how many people believe in the idea of Using Title Case for Emphasis. To me it just seems like a fun way to Make Phrases Seem Important without needing access to formatting tools.

this stats screen on After Dark Solitaire is a pretty accurate representation of how the last year of my life has gone
it's like recruiters don't care about the job you _want_, only the job you _had_
every single "looking for a job" website on the internet has been meta-gamed half to death or is a huge vector for spam and scams. there's got to be a better way to see who just has goddamn work available and will talk to me about it, without it just being recruiters for BigMegaCorp wanting me to do the exact job I don't want anymore.
no matter how much I erase the skills from old job and rewrite my profile to say "I am not interested in working in semiconductors!" the recruiters keep coming.

I have just relased a new version 2.9 of GrafX2, "the ultimate 256-color painting program".
Binaries are available for Haiku, Gamepark Holdings GP2x, Nintendo Switch, Atari Mint and Windows (yes, our build automation somehow focuses only on the most ridiculous platforms). For Linux it should hopefully be updated in your favorite distribution soon.
Not a lot of changes in this version, many bugfixes and more fileformats supported (Apple IIgs, C64, CPC, Atari TT...)

New Secret Area post: PopStar Guitar on the PS2.
A knockoff of Guitar Hero/Rock Band, it really feels like something your mom would get instead of the real thing.
Likes, reposts and comments appreciated, as always.

I bet everyone who knows me is really tired by now of hearing the story about that time I bought an FPGA board off AliExpress and instead the the vendor sent me a collectors-edition Dragonball Z action figure. In my defense however this is a really good story

GEnie
Air Warrior
Kesmai is the most important innovator in online gaming, and it was their impetus that launched the GEnie service.
Their real-time 3D game Air Warrior originally for the Macintosh brought the thrill of PLATO flight game deathmatch to the mainstream.

With this new preview build now available, the next stage of work begins in replacing as many of the still re-used plug-ins from 5.666 with WACUP native options. This is also a requirement to then allow the currently beta only Windows 64-bit build to be eventually made available.

It's been just over 3 years since a #WACUP preview build showed an update was available. https://getwacup.com/preview/
That's now happened with build 1.99.12.18980 available with a cumulative changelog of over 1701 entries compared to 2021's build 1.0.21.7236.
There's been many more changes in the interim-builds to the first full preview build to run without the need to re-use the #winamp 5.666 core exe (note: it still needs to re-use a few of the plug-ins & supporting dlls https://getwacup.com/files.html#winamp )

This is the sort of thing more people should be writing re emulation. Point people at legit legal games. Show use cases beyond piracy. Bravo. #retrogaming

The time has arrived: Escape From Evil Island is now available as pay-what-you-want (for Windows, MacOS, or Linux) on itch.io!
https://speveril.itch.io/evil-island
If you're feeling a hankering for some old-school DOS-style platforming action, Evil Island should fit the bill nicely. I hope you enjoy!
