xmtolsp v0.1.0: A tool to convert FastTracker 2 XM music files to #Amiga LSP format. Allows developers to use XM instead of MOD when working on Amiga games, demos, etc. The XM can use 48KHz samples—each gets intelligently downsampled based on the highest note played. github.com/dansalvato/x...

Python in a nutshell

For today's pro-train content, I'll direct you to this blurb on Amtrak's official website that encourages you to bring CRTs on the train to play Melee.

Build-A-File v1.0.0: A simple, hackable Python framework to design and build your own custom binary filetypes. I originally created this to help with retro game dev, but it can be used for any general purpose. Lots of examples in the readme. github.com/dansalvato/b...

Yesterday I watched the original Godzilla (1954). It really exceeded my expectations. Thinking about how the actors all lived through the atomic bombings just 9 years prior, how the scenes of devastation were meant to capture that hellscape. With that in mind, some parts had me feeling choked up.

Reminder that C# legitimately supports goto and it would be really funny if you put a little benign one somewhere in the project you're working on

It makes me so uncomfortable to hear AI "character" TTS voices on Twitch. They're AI likenesses of real actors, trained on copyright work, and people pay money to play those voices on stream. How would you feel if thousands of people were paying to hear an AI trained on your voice say inane things?

So here's the plan, I'm going to start picking up old network switches for cheap whenever I see them in electronics recycling stores, etc. In ~10 years I will have amassed enough to build a grid of 144x144 ports. I will then wire them all up and send packets to make the activity LEDs play Bad Apple

I predicted they'd eliminate the right joycon's IR sensor on the Switch 2, in favor of some new feature. I guess we don't yet know the full feature set, but they did in fact retire the IR sensor. That note about some Switch games not being compatible with Switch 2 is likely just for IR sensor games.

Legal teams need to step up their document formatting game. Every doc or template I receive is rife with bad formatting. Repeated newlines for page break, repeated tabs/spaces instead of tab stops, underscores for form fields, not defining header/body styles, etc. We solved this stuff decades ago

Yes, there is in fact an Ocarina of Time of wireless routers. It is the Linksys WRT54G. Thank you for asking.

If you'd like to reach out, please tag me in a new post instead of replying to an unrelated thread of mine. I want to engage and answer questions but I get uncomfortable when my posts are used as a mechanism to reach me about something unrelated. Also, you're always welcome to email me. Thank you! 🙌🏻

Some of you have never been most concerned with the well-being of the Princess in this dreadful heat and it shows

Game Awards bingo square suggestions * Celeb mispronounces something * Game clip of watering plants * "Asymmetric" * """In-game engine footage""" * "AI" * Smash Cash - copycat of unexpected hit like Balatro * Play as an animal (not anthro, the literal animal) * "Revival" of IP nobody cares about

It’s an absolute honor to announce that more than 30 million players have joined the Literature Club across all versions of DDLC! 🎉 Thank you so much to our passionate and loyal community for the all the love and support over the years, we’re so grateful for you all 💚

It would be awesome to just totally ditch all dependency on cloud services and use my own servers to handle everything like mail, notes, calendar, whatever else. I know it's possible, but it's less "seamless" than Apple/Google services, and the real cost is the time that setup and maintenance takes.

Python solved dependency hell years ago, just make your platform's package manager mildly inconvenient enough that devs think twice before adding frivolous dependencies
