CSS is DOOMed! I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms. cssdoom.wtf Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

I joined Harmonia this year to sing Messiah again in December, but this was my 2nd most anticipated program. At least I'd sung Messiah before! This was 28 new choruses to learn in 6 weeks, definitely a challenge but feeling pretty good for tomorrow's performance! harmoniaseattle.org/concerts/202...

Seriously, I had no idea until @aarongiles.com told me! It turns out that you had to be more persistent on the Mac version and USE the computer FIVE TIMES! #MARCHintosh #LucasArts youtu.be/N5AZY3tNFW4

Today's 27-year-old nostalgia blast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymNF... After being reminded of this a few years ago, went down the Bomfunk MC's rabbit hole and found 3 pretty solid albums (accounting for the occasional '90s hip-hop cringe).

Been obsessing way too much over the Dreamm project. This may as well be the "LucasArts Classic Mini" where you supply the games and it handles the configuration. Covers Scumm, DOS and Windows titles with a host of QoL fixes, joystick and network support in an easy to use environment.

Ah, NERO__BURNING_ROM ... the dead giveaway you're looking at a rip and not an original CD image. Also the 2022 dates.

Every once in a while Raymond Chen does an architectural comparison series and I get to see (a paraphrased version of) some code I wrote way back when. He's right about why we passed stack size/16, but surprised he didn't call out the unconventional x15 usage. devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/...

Always hate it when I'm searching up an algorithm and can only seem to find academic CS papers and articles written in (La)TeX rather than any actual implementations. I'll take working sample code over equations any day, even if I'm going to ultimately write my own implementation.

Follow-up to my QuickTime SDK question: The best place to search was discmaster.textfiles.com The key was knowing the names of some of the files that would only be in the SDK, like qtim32.lib. From there I was able to find many betas plus 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1.2, and 5.0 at least. 👍

Meh, car's check engine light came on, dealer says it needs a full engine replacement. Been thinking of a used EV for a while, now seems like the moment. It's a 2nd car mostly used for commuting around the area, low mileage stuff. My 6'2" son needs to fit as a passenger. Hit me with recommendations!

Anyone know of an archive that has old QuickTime SDKs? Looking for 3.x specifically, but in general would like to have the full collection. I found a 2.0 CD but it appears to only have docs and marketing, no headers or libraries.

This week‘s guest was an essential force in making it possible for kids like me to play many adventure gaming classics. Let's Chat with Aaron Giles - LucasArts Macintosh Conversions + DREAMM 4.0! #MARCHintosh youtu.be/XrHFd5SCei8

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

Interview with @aarongiles.com, DREAMM Emulator author: "I have Battle for Naboo up and running with some glitches." darylbaxter.com/posts/interv...

Decided to upgrade to Visual Studio 2026. Seems to still compile my code ok. I mostly use the IDE for debugging and was hoping they'd have fixed the fact that the properties page doesn't respect dark mode after 4 years, but based on my seared eyeballs apparently not. 😞

LOL did that 9games.com thing and honestly you can tell I haven't done much gaming in the last, oh, say 30 years. 😜

i actually don't ever want a beer that tastes like a chocolate cake

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

DREAMM emulator for LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and Lucas Learning games v4.0 out now #PCGaming #Retro #RetroGaming #Emulation #Gaming

LucasArts Emulator DREAMM Adds Support For A Bunch Of Old Star Wars In "Major" Update.

I'm amazed. For years, I've had so much trouble getting the PC version of Phantom Menace to work. In 3 clicks via DREAMM by @aarongiles.com, I'm playing it on my Mac, complete with the 60 FPS cheat enabled. Home run.

Out of curiosity I decided to check what emulators the 30th Anniversary Edition uses since I've seen a lot of misinformation about it (no it doesn't use RetroArch 😛) SNES: Mednafen (snes_faust) GBC: sameboy GBA: mGBA Jaguar: BigPEmu MS-DOS: DREAMM PS1: Pancake #rayman

DREAMM CAN EVEN RUN THE JAPANESE VERSION, WHAT

My favorite thing about DREAMM is how it evokes the early days of emulation with personality oozing from the interface design. Also, the intentionality in what it emulates -- primarily LucasArts stuff rather than just all DOS games -- acts as a really cool (and rare!) form of curation.

@aarongiles.com's work on the emulation side of DREAMM is stellar but can we take a minute appreciate how fun this front-end is?

Oh my god 🤩 DREAMM has always been a treasure trove for fans of retro video games, but now it supports the legendary Star Wars edutainment titles that I'd lost all hope of ever playing on a modern PC! (boot up Pit Droids and thank me later) Aaron Giles is doing the Maker's work.

Only three? There are DOZENS of us! :)

Now everyone can enjoy a game that pits seven-year-olds against both inclined planes and assassins (not paraphrasing).

ahh that's the stuff

Happy to announce that DREAMM 4.0 is now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux! dreamm.aarongiles.com Now with support for all Lucas-family games released prior to 2000 on DOS, Windows, and FM-Towns, including all 8 Lucas Learning games. Network play is also now supported (experimentally).

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The fact that my teen was rather embarrassed to explain the term "glazing" to me makes it all the more funny that I am seeing it rapidly transition into common usage online by regular adults in serious contexts.

Ha, finally found evidence of what bands were on the lineup of the Live 105 Green Christmas Ball 1996. My only regret is that we got there late and missed Fiona Apple's set.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

🕹️ Happy 28th anniversary to Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith! 💾 Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith was released on February 17th, 1998 💾

Wow.

I haven't been able to stop noticing the billionaire class' obsession with physics ever since I saw this @acollierastro.bsky.social, and they always say things that prove they know less than an average high schooler about the subject

Speaking of DREAMM, after a few unfortunate delays, I'm pushing to finish up DREAMM 4.0 for the end of the month. If you're into LucasArts/LucasFilm/Lucas Learning games and want to help make sure this release is solid, please check out the latest beta! dreamm.aarongiles.com/beta/

So yeah, the recently released Rayman collection is using a slightly modded version of my DREAMM emulator to run the DOS versions of the games, including the extra level packs. Happy to see more DOS ports making it into these kinds of collections and onto consoles! www.ubisoft.com/en-us/games/...

The other night on Jeopardy, two players were tied going into final. The woman in third made a small wager and her answer was, "I hope they both bet everything." They both did, all three got it wrong, and she won. As if that wasn't already hilarious enough, turns out it was all a master plan!

Surprise -- our next game is out TOMORROW! We're celebrating the landmark release of the original Rayman with some surprising new features. Really excited for you to see what the team's done with this one.

Ha, was pleased to see the unit of attoseconds get its due in this video. When I designed MAME's timing system back in the day I settled on attoseconds as the unit because 1 seconds' worth fits nicely into a 64-bit integer. (10^18 ~ 2^60 by the 3:10 rule) www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-4p...
