This isn't impressive to veteran/pro devs but I've been having an inordinate amount of fun writing a cpu-based particle system from scratch in C. So much of the physics is embarrassingly parallel that I've also been teaching myself SIMD and next - threading.

Video compression was unkind and macOS darkens the video when I do a screen recording for some reason, but started writing a cpu based particle system from scratch for my perpetually WIP shmup from scratch game

Just to let you know, I've played a lot of shoddy ports of super scalar games in the past two months. So when I say After Burner II's port to the PC Engine is one of the most amazing technical feats of its era, I mean it.

Bandai Super Controller for NES and Famicom. A shell you snap around your controller to give it more heft as well as a disc-like dpad into which you can plug an attached mini-joystick. Actually a pretty nice accessory - disc is more responsive than youâd expect.

Roklan Unroller for Atari 2600 and compatible. Sold as pack of two. I know youâre thinking, a trackball for Atari is neat! ⌠This isnât a trackball. Itâs literally a palm sized half-sphere you struggle to push around as a joystick. I bought it because I liked the colors.

People with modern keyboards who put CTRL where Caps Lock is. What do you put where CTRL used to be? Caps Lock? And does anybody make keycaps to match this, *and* have a super/meta key?

I support creators but I will no longer use
#Patreon
to do so. Their interface is just way too aggressively anti-seeing what your memberships cost, down to making it so you have to click a hidden "edit" icon to cancel a membership. I'm sure they treat the actual creators no better.

Accidentally bought the ps5 rather than ps4 version of the new Namco DLC for Atari 50. I bought it from the same menu on my ps5 I used to redownload the ps4 version it but even though I own the ps4 version it put the ps5 version in my cart. Sonyâs response is basically âtoo bad.â

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork." UZDoom is now live here.
