Started on a raycast game for #lowrezjam over weekend.

Got a special rendering system working. Shelf sprites are generated on the fly in unused space, so each is unique.

Started making the basic retrieval task system, moving towards a tiny library sim.

A new video is live! I've been searching for optical drive bezels for my IBM PS/2 Model 80, but finding a genuine IBM bezel is nearly impossible. Can 3D printing fill the hole in this PC's heart?

A close-up photo of the front of the black power mac, with rainbow apple logo up top just under the display, a black cdrom tray hole, a floppy disk slot, and some other buttons and jacks. At the bottom is a badge with "Power Macintosh 5500/250" in light garamond text against a black background.

One of those classic Macs I'm the most fond of - and I think, the only black Power Macintosh that Apple ever sold. This one had a 6500/300 board in it, packed full of RAM and a decent amount of HD space and ran Debian Sarge, serving up my web pages for a few years.

Saturday's (26th) noon eastern stream will be rebuilding two artificially slow 68030 vintage Macs: my first Color Classic (I know the logic board is good, but recapping the analog boards is always an adventure) and a Classic II. I also got a box from Bakkus to unbox! youtube.com/live/lWcygnJ...
