Post your current game rotation

Can we not do WWIII?

When an autistic person is sharing a special interest be mindful that growing up we were often shut down or made fun of for sharing & what you consider “playful teasing” can be taken as mean/hurtful especially if we feel confident/comfy enough to unmask & share something with you or our communities.

Ugh. When I get sick I can’t code for crap or concentrate on anything tricky. It’s like my brain just peaces out.

@foone.bsky.social thanks for creating that DJGPP Dockerfile!

Konami made a voxel based racing game around the time of Daytona. The hardware projected a flat texture map ala mode 7 and then extruded it in screenspace. youtu.be/3X0Mjw32CLY?...

My second DOOM slaughter map is ready to go! And a WIP of my third is in there too. If you're into this sort of thing, give it a whirl! I'd love to know what you think. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

God damn Daytona 2001 holds up. I was initially disappointed back when it was new because it didn’t have the Daytona 2 or Super GT tracks, and the additional ones were a bit mid, but the complexity of the handling and vibe are absolutely nailed, and all the cars are worthwhile (and look very cool).

Lady Bug is such a criminally underrated game on any platform. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dz4...

Made a hermite spline based racetrack editor while my wife was getting ready

Good article www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

synopsis post: recently i've been working on a rendering prototype. it's a Wolfenstein style fan raycaster (so CPU, no polygons). it has: displacement mapped walls terrain raycaster floors (entirely different tech, but texturally matched with the walls). (angle constrained) real time shadows

Feeling optimistic

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.

Kinda fascinating how 32-bit gen was less Sega vs Nintendo and instead was Sega vs Namco Ridge Racer v Daytona Tekken v Virtua Fighter Virtua Cop v Time Crisis Virtual On v Cyber Sled..? :)

“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco
