I don't think I've posted this here yet, but if you love Sega games during the 90's you've most likely have heard this mans voice many times.

Here's a wonderful doc on the man himself:

When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the MIDI is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

had a dream i found so many vintage computer stuff dumpster diving. massive pile of floppies. a full sealed pack of rainbow colour ones. even some zip disks. i think if you dream of something really cool and you really want it you should be allowed to wake up with it materialised in your arms

it has been so surreal and dismaying to watch search engines gradually just kinda... give up on being search engines these past few years. hard to think of another product category collapse of comparable magnitude in web history. https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/24/duckduckgo-disables-most-search-filters-from-search/

Happy International Pallas Cat Day to all who celebrate!

Discovered a significant breakthrough in the preservation of old sound effects: a partial upload of some rare but widely used sound effects. If you've played Thief, Riven, or even watched Shaun of the Dead, you might just recognize a few of these SFX!

My recent toot about the iconic lost Amiga work of pixelart from 1985, Jack Haeger's "Four-Byte Burger," received by far more reactions than any of my others.

YouTuber "Ahoy" has just posted a video in which he sleuths rather deeply and manages to recreate this wonderful piece, pixel by pixel, with apparently great accuracy.

It's an incredible process not to be missed!

I’ve said this before but if bears repeating:

Your ‘best’ will look different day to day. Some days your best is getting your work done, and other days your best is getting up and putting on clothes. Be patient with your low days… the high days will come again. They always do. 🧡
