If you enjoyed my posts about Metroid games you might like to learn that I made a fully drawn strategy guide for the original game several years ago. It's free! www.handdrawngameguides.com/free-guides/...

Fit third party videos, I use yt-dlp. You can feed it the -F / --list-formats flag to get the specific details. There are then advanced filters/configs to set codec/resolution/HDR preference orders on download.
For my videos, I use Google Takeout to get the originals I uploaded.
Every term used in computing gets replaced with the word "app"
The problem is mostly a combination of marketing, mainstream media, and the fact that, rounded to the nearest integer, zero percent of people understand computers.

35 years ago, I was heading into Xmas playing this absolutely terrific Mega Drive game. Castle of Illusion sounded fabulous, played brilliantly, and looked like a million dollars. A real landmark platformer that was the perfect Mega Drive demo game to wow your friends with!

At first, I thought I could just rotate the hue of HSL colors and call it a day. Since then, I've learned about perceptual color spaces, OKLCH, Bezold-Brücke effect and I still can't always get good programmatic palettes 😅
But I built Color Palette Pro to help get us halfway there: colorpalette.pro
were so fucking back guys

Ever wonder why a Supergun has such a stupid (but cool) name?
It was just a name used by Taiwanese firm Gamesgroup Corp, similar to later products like Super Wildcard & SuperUFO game copiers
Raven Games (London) got their own version made to UK spec & called it Supergun Deluxe. It stuck

Super sad to hear that #80s icon and artist Drew Struzan has passed away at the age of 78. Super talented. He was the illustrator of our childhood dreams! RIP Drew!

14.10.2025 02:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Unfortunately Sony do an awful job of exporting HDR captures. PNG just crushes everything, and JPG weirdly looks different (seems to do some sort of tone mapping), although it's still bad (and their compression is horrendous).

The FujiNet 5 Card Stud networked game continues to be ported to every available #FujiNet target. This one being the #Commodore TED machines (#Plus4 and #C16). Still to be done, double buffering to remove the flicker.
