I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

when I was testing minecraft on my new PC, I generated a pretty neat world on bedrock edition -2032795982907864146 same seed provides a similar world in java, but the village is in a mountain

merry christmas and shit

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

sometimes I do graphics shito, too left: original, from Schezo's background generator right: added a couple layers of effects to make it more interesting

sneak peek; the new melonDS renderer is coming along nicely

OpenGL renderer for melonDS coming together! (I mean, renderer for 2D layers and shit. we had a 3D OpenGL renderer since a while)

As Promised: part 1 Least functional kitchen ever !

Brother I have fucked with all manner of compter shite for decades and never once did misusing the software make me kill myself and I installed Windows 3.1 on a 286.

turns out, DS upscaling/filtering is complicated supporting things like 3D upscaling, or hi-res rotation/scale, exclude upscaling/filtering the final video output (with, say, xBRz) so graphical elements would need to be upscaled/filtered individually

melonDS 1.1 is out! melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php...

I'm adding hi-res display capture to melonDS (oh the joy) melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php...

In Super Mario 64, parts of Lethal Lava Land are actually made out of leather, which simply appears to be stone due to the low resolution of the textures.

age verification based on facial scan what could possibly go wrong

it's not TGV Tuesday but it's come to light that not all of you know about how La Poste ran high-speed mail trains until 2015

doing hi-res capture in melonDS. or atleast, trying to oh what fun

when you go to such lengths as pulling out a disassembler and hex editor to fix a bug in your app only to find out you had already fixed it

yeah firefox doesn't need a fuckin AI chatbot, get that shit outta here

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

it's my birthday today, and I have a birthday confession to make www.nintendolife.com/features/bac...

competent UI design: half the screen space consumed by a cookie banner I can't even dismiss, because another UI element is covering the buttons

A Silicon Graphics 'Indy' workstation. I used one of these for Nintendo 64 game development. A great machine with awesome OS. The N64 development board fits neatly inside the blue case. Such a shame SGI are no longer around. Great hardware, with a great price tag!

more fleshed out version of the AR cheat code import dialog. layout details may be fixed up, tweaked, ... but the basic idea is there. thoughts?

LinkedIn be like "how many years of experience do you have in Design?"

not sure, now. the right design is clearer -- added group frames on the left, and a label to explain the code list. however the group frames might be superfluous and wasting screen space.

hahaha. UI design is fun why the fuck is that label fucking up in the one situation where it would fit entirely in one line

different design for this cheat import dialog * game entry list becomes a combobox - having it take up an entire side felt wasteful * code description and info will go to a dedicated frame * splitter thing is resizable (in theory)

upcoming melonDS feature: importing cheat codes from usrcheat.dat this list shows entries relevant to your game (it works by game code). the checkmark shows the "recommended" entry (ie. CRC match). we're still unsure about the ideal symbol for this... still gotta code the other list

I see your green checkerboard and raise you this blue checkerboard

forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.ph... wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

thinking back on µblock and the other extension I have that gets rid of cookie banners/popovers I want an extension that recognizes "subscribe to my newsletter" popovers and feeds the webmaster's email address into them in the background or whatever garbage as long as it pollutes their database

this this this this it's priceless to be able to adblock every stupid widget. I wish it could also un-disable scroll (for stuff like SUBSCRIBE!!!! popovers that inevitably disable scroll).

The question that'll really bake the noodle is: would these miserable assholes be able to perceive how shitty their genAI stuff if they weren't using it?

Every photo I take is done practically with very little digital work, using household items to create special effects like cotton wool for fire & foil for water. Each set is meticulously set up for just the one scene then dismantled so I can set up another scene. Thanks for helping me keep going.

J'ai étudié le nombre de jours passés à Matignon par tous les Premiers Ministres de Macron, et je peux vous affirmer que le prochain gouvernement durera très exactement 2 jours, 11 heures et 27 minutes

France is very good at not having a government these days

In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the staff credits text is always loaded into RAM despite not being needed until the ending. While horribly inefficient, this is inadvertently heartwarming as the games appear to honor their creators by keeping them in memory at all times.

vintage radio update: it lives! and I mean, it's actually receiving radio stations guess having the right tubes helps

received my order today, and everything is fine my suspicion was confirmed: the seller sent this as part of a batch of orders and gave me the wrong tracking number. the right one was only two letters off.

sent Wed, tracking says it arrived Sat 8:48, nothing in mailbox I think the seller provided the wrong tracking number (mail man doesn't come this early here) but this is concerning
