Win98 sucks Slackware15 packages didn't work OpenBSD packages didn't work Debian Trixie packages didn't work FreeDOS wouldn't connect to my server Debian Sarge didn't have most of what I wanted Plan G:

OwO

FreeDOS has a package manager?!

OpenBSD had the same issue, packages expect SSE2 instructions. So its FREEDOS TIME BAYBEE!

When's the last time ya installed an OS off one of these?

So Slackware 15 on the old Compaq is a no-go. While the OS itself works fine, a ton of the Slackbuilds Packages don't. It keeps giving an "illegal instruction" error, I think the packages expect a processor that takes SSE2 instructions, which a PC from 2001 does not have.

I see Adobe's vibe coded software is working as intended.

Quarter for scale. Tis' a smol 'puter.

Rate my setup.

I've now reached the level of insanity that has me compiling a jerry-rigged Linux kernel module for a 26 year old graphics card. There's no way this is gonna work, but on the off chance it does, the Nvidia TNT2 Vanta LT will be compatible with current Slackware for the first time in ~13 years.

What's the likelyhood of Krita or Aseprite running on 256MB RAM?

kobolds.

I should make my game on this old Compaq. Probably a bad idea, but I'd be guaranteed that it will run on anyone's PC.

Compiling Python3 on a 800MHz processor from 2001 is *pain*.

Just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why this wouldn't connect to the internet. When I had Win98 on this, I blocked all services for this IP on my router. The router decided to not save when I re-enabled them. It still won't allow me to re-enable services. I changed the IP and it works now.

Installing Slackware 14.2 on a computer from 2001. What could go wrong?

LMAO

Giving this a boost! I'm still about $180 short of what I'd need for my loan payment (which is currently late) otherwise I just need the last $100 by the 20th, which gives me more time to worry about getting it sorted I know things are rough right now, but if you can help it'd mean a whole lot

Gentle reminder…

What d'ya mean it isn't an #Amiga ? It looks and acts like one to me!

You can just download that?!

Replaying Sludge Life tonight.

Got myself a Clockwork uConsole. Raspberry Pi CM4 version running Debian Trixie. Not the most practical thing to code on, but it's nice having a full Linux machine the size of a small tablet.

Told ya I'd fuckin do it again. WIP (that I probably won't finish because animating pixel art at this scale is a nightmare)

Told you I would. In fact, I did it twice.

Just a quick update on things! I'm still about $50 short of what I'd need for rent at the old place and will need help pretty imminently for my loan/phone payments coming up, which collectively need another $300 Anything helps, even reposts! Thanks a ton if you lend a paw <3 ko-fi.com/iskaudiir

having luscious curly wavy hair is annoying because 90% of the time it’s dogshit and insane to tame but then there’ll be the one time it looks fucking BEAUTIFUL and I guess it’s an Easter Miracle cause damn…

Portrait system is implemented, and I made all the sprites a 1-bit color palette. Next up is getting the player to move & implementing proper text boxes (current one is hardcoded).

Cleaned up the title screen art a bit.

I figured out rooms, I think? It's not crashing and there aren't any memory leaks, which is good enough for me.

I refactored the game to use a proper state machine. or at least as close as you can get to one without classes. Main menu is set up, still trying to figure out how to do rooms. :/

I'm teaching her the dark arts.

Got baked yesterday. Overnighted a fishcat, what do I name it?

Working on a thingy. I've got an idea for a game. Not sure if it'll pan out, but I'm having a lot of fun with Raylib. The style of the placeholder art for the title screen was heavily inspired by @ezeeshady.bsky.social's stuff. Give him a follow, his 1-bit artwork is fucking awesome. :3
