New on the Secret Area, it's Cold Fear.
A Resident Evil-inspired survival horror game made by the folks who made Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare. And it's surprisingly alright!
Shares and comments appreciated, as always.
Here are my current set-on-install about:config options for Firefox, as well as going through Settings and turning off anything related to telemetry, "studies", or a Mozilla product. I'm not sure I've captured everything. At one point I was trying to be real rigorous about documenting my preferences but as Firefox became more and more hostile it became harder to fight back in a systematic way
I just came across *the* most Geocities site to ever exist. You want to see this one, I promise. https://web.archive.org/web/20010722223545/http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Wharf/1014/
This FSOL Cascade remix mod absolutely kicks ass ๐ And on IRIX even more ๐

The part that took me the most time was writing a decoder for a video from 1991. The video is a demo of the $HOME MOVIE system, 1152 x 900 with voice and music. HD video from 1991, folks!
I made a tour of an obscure window system called Bellcore MGR, made by the Bell Core Research and bearing a strong resemblance to Plan 9's 8.5.
The tour also comes with a short overview of the $HOME MOVIE film authoring tool from 1990. There are many screenshots, a 40-minute long video with Mozart and Liszt, and a hard disk image for 86box.
Like, share, boost, comment <3
Another unapproved use of WD-40. But a fun one.

btw, I just want to note for other indies who do cons that the way this went down is that I walked by the table at the con, was too busy to stop, saw a giant "play the demo on steam" QR code and used it to add the demo to my steam library then walked on & played the demo 3 weeks later in my own time.
that QR code made the difference between someone passing by and an evangelist is what i'm saying
finally got around to playing the demo of Ambrosia Sky today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/updates/2025-10-10.html - A golf game better than the Legend itself?! Reviewers from 1987 seemed to think so, in a manner of speaking; observations at hand in this month's Golfshrine Acquisitions Update.
