One of the downsides of Sunshine is that some of the coins are incredibly hard and "luck based". I love the setting and FLUDD. Probably my favorite Mario world/environment

That must've been a difficult prop to make; it looks amazing! I wonder how it was constructed; almost feels like they got the genuine article from a surplus or something

Yeah that doesnโ€™t look great, I was hoping it would give it a bit of depth. Thanks for trying!

Remember when spacebar was the default action key in PC video games? Nowadays it just gets a small nudge in the corner with the thumb.
I fondly remember those four-finger slams where you could hear the plastic creak as you tried to shoot harder or jump higher.

Reminds me of Marjolein Bastin, very cool

If possible, using a soft shadowed voxel style that is consistent across the UI would look amazing. (Consistent as in: same voxel/pixel size). I agree that โ€œjustโ€ pixelized is very generic

I do a DN3D/SW/Blood playthrough each year and I'm down to play _another_ repack/remake/port, just to see what is different

Our beloved Border Czar Tom Homan always brings cash when he's conducting a surprise inspection of the women's shower room at one of Geo Group's for profit detention facilities near the border.

That tune still sounds a million times better than the PC speaker version I grew up with! :D Which is too bad because that game was a pretty big deal and ran fine(?) on my ancient 286 EGA.

I should check this one out finally - I just remember making fun of the weird name, as a dumb kid. Never ended up watching it.

When the entire HDR/2x4K/144Khz stack works it is absolutely wonderful. I finally have a KVM switch that actually supports it all (through DP/USB-C) and my Mac Studio is happy as a clam.

Windows still doesn't understand what's going on, but at least it doesn't drop connection randomly.

I like seeing random boring stuff that I don't care about - so I'm adding to the pile. Posting junk from my desktop folder. This folder has been growing for decades.

I really enjoyed that game, but the clips of that mech boss fight reminded me that I never got past that and gave up. I'll try again when 1.0 hits! Game is great otherwise!

Oh they do look nice! I similarly have a set of 4 de-topped monster energy drinks posed in my office because I really liked the colors that kinda mirrored Leonard Horowitz' South Beach Colors.

Really cool you were able to give it your own personal style! I didn't recognize it from the 3D bits, but those sprites are unmistakable Castpixel :D

Nice, I liked the serif style on the Crimson Diamond font - it gives a classic vibe without it becoming hard to read. Any advice for people who make their own? Did you ever try shading to get curved look?

I really liked the font in Covert Action (my fav EGA game) - lots of reading in that one.

Hey EGA fans, does anyone have a good candidate for the โ€œeasiest/nicest to readโ€ (colored?) font? Iโ€™m looking for a font that is easy to read big texts in EGA res. (Variable width prob, would have some markup)

I never got why there is even a discussion. I still get angry about Y-flip for textures

I have a really bad cold and my nose is -for lack of a better word- deconstructing itself.

Fun fact, the Proboscis Monkey was also called the "Dutch Monkey" because Dutch colonizers were known for their large noses and fat bellies.

As someone with a RA/Crohns/Colitis party mix, stress (and lack of sleep) gives me mouth sores. My sinuses also freak out when I have periods of anxiety.

I don't have any solutions but it's interesting to see that someone else has these very specific symptoms as well
