Did I miss any FM synthesizers? Do you have anything to add or correct about my descriptions of how they sound?

LOL #koboldcpp

TIL you can "get gnomed" when using Linux. A combination of installed packages can cause GNOME desktop to spontaneously appear on your computer. There's even a whole subreddit dedicated to it. www.reddit.com/r/gotgnomed/

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Finishing things up for #PicoIDE and it just about saturates the IDE bus in MWDMA mode 2. I’m pretty happy with this! It tests as fast as a 74x CD-rom drive which means there’s a bit more headroom in that mode but that could be the CPU on this K6-2 system being a bottleneck.

I've just released fully documented source code for The Sentinel as an easy-to-browse website. It's a lot more fun to explore than the GitHub repository, with cross-references, popups, indexes, statistics and more. Enjoy! thesentinel.bbcelite.com #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

Some testing with the AMD Geode LX, it’s basically a Cyrix 5x86 on steroids. Big L1 and L2 caches, and MMX/3DNow! instructions embedded in the FPU (so non-pipelined, it really hates MMX codepaths). Here are the results from testing multiple code paths and rendering methods in FastDoom:

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Does this mean that Trump has set a precedent for it being acceptable to kidnap Trump? 🤔

Looks like Rémi Léonard is close to have a full reverse engineered Strike Commander. And he now has added VR support! youtu.be/WlPiYIiAX2Q?...

After staying up way too late last night refactoring IOR to be ~65% faster, #PicoIDE is now booting the Performa 630 on its famously cursed IDE interface

Buenos días y feliz año, migente

TODD & AARON GAME AWARDS 2025 ARE HERE BABY HAHAHAHA GAME OF THE YEAR CALL OF DUTY BLOPS 7 (WHAT A GREAT RPG) WORST GAME OF THE YEAR: CLAIR OBSCUR EXPEDITION 33 (WTF WAS THAT.... FRENCH?? RUGRATS IN PARIS WAS BETTER) GO WATCH ON YOUTUBE WE NAILED IT LMAO youtu.be/Iz_uL6zoX8I?...

FastDoom’s potato mode gets its name thanks to Cecilia Giménez. RIP.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Apparantly, during gameplay Jazz Jackrabbit doesn't use Mode 13h or Mode X. It uses odd/even mode. I've tried to reverse engineer it, but I wasn't successful. If someone else wants to have a look, it's easier to analyse the beta version of the game engine. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4283...

I just found a bug with the #playdate simulator I was getting mad because I couldn't understand why some textures wouldn't render with my code... Ended up testing it in the device: notice the big checkerboard texture missing in the simulator? Glad that for once it's not my fault 😂

trying to decide if this would be a good or bad idea

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

FastDoom 1.2.0 is now available! This release focuses on optimizing high resolution modes for newer 5th and 6th gen CPUs. Grab it here: github.com/viti95/FastD...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I'm starting to love the Socket 7 era, so many options!

I hadn’t been watching his activities for a while, but it appears that the known scam artist and unrepentant thief Sean Lee Robinson (also known as Geek With Social Skills) is once again active in vintage computing circles. Avoid this loser, and don’t get scammed. youtu.be/hRkPCjVhM8c?...

Ooooffff 😍

Benchmarks, benchmarks, and more benchmarks! Getting ready for the FastDoom 1.2.0 release 😁

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

In 1980, Intel announced the 8087 Math Coprocessor, a chip that made floating-point 100 times faster. I opened up the chip, took photos of the silicon structures, and analyzed its circuitry. It's a very complex chip for its time. Let's take a look inside...

Sometimes I try using AI to generate assembly code, and the results are always funny, no matter what I ask for

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe. I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

Also, here's a glimpse at my rotoscoping process... #LUNARK #pixelart
