Unfortunately, I have a Mac, but it is very old. I'm a Linux user now! But thank you very much, I would have loved to give you feedback about it.

Did you make this illustration?

I have the feeling that voting won't be enough to get out of this mess guys. The conventional approaches will be cheated or faced to repression. Actions must be taken before they consolidate too much power.

Dire qu'ils ont élu un компромат, un agent du KGB à la tête de ce pays et lui vouent un culte. 🤯

C'est souvent le sort des pays voisins de super puissances... ils reçoivent le chaos du plus gros. C'était un peu exceptionnel comme situation au Canada.
Le parallèle s'arrête là, le peuple américain ne se gouverne pas comme le peuple russe et la poudrière va éventuellement exploser.

Plot twist, the blood doesn't come from the robot, you are throwing pints of blood at them.

That a badass name for a computer brand. Futhermore, its industrial design is awesome! This whole thing looks like it could board an intergalactic ship.

Teaching of #French changed a bit in Quebec lately. They are trying to make it a bit simpler since the kids have access to internet now and they are speaking Frenglish here too. We are surrounded, but still fighting for it.

These Commando screenshots show very well why they chose these colors. Neat example.

This is serious equipment for the 90's! They had some sort of custom PC linkers.

Nice!!!! Did you made the pixel art? It looks nice!

Rocky & Bullwinkle fells like the average game we were able to make here in the west. Japan was ahead of us big time... we had a lot to catch up.

I do agree. I miss this dark tone. The unforgivness the game had.
Here's a sword, give me a break and find your ways yourself.

Jesus... I'm old enough to have played with these TV computers when I was kid, but we used Sony Cassettes. I didn't know there was tape advertising being made for them. Thanks for the share.

I really love that kind of tileset, based on black background with high contrasts. Feels like NES Sunsoft's and Natsumé games.

Yeah, the band had stability problems with its front man. 😅 But I guess this is partly due to the fact that Bloodbath initially started as a joke. I haven't listened much to their recent stuff either, I'm less into metal since a while.

I love the setting. Looking forward your project. I'm doing a game in a post climate change setting myself. This subject is clearly underrated :D.

Thanks for the info!
They used to make much more aggressive stuff. If you listen to Still Life, My arms you hearse, or even Deliverance, there's interesting stuff to hear there... but nothing the level of Bloodbath. Bloodbath f**king rocks.

I stop to follow them after Watershed. I didn't like that progressive/jazz fusion vibe... this song is a surprise. I'll maybe peek to it so hear if I could like it.

Looks like a post climate change world. Oppressive and very hot. Lots of ambiance here!

I prefer dark themes. I choose Contra Hardcorps over Metal Slug. Dark skies and burning cities talks a lot to me.
I vote left.

It is going to be suitable, the megadrive is impressively fast at dumping data in VRAM... the DMA they put into it is a beast.

Normally we keep the virtual environment in our working directory for each projects. This way, confused is avoided. :)
comment in response to
post
You don't need to go very deep into it. Open a terminal and just type `python -m venv ./.venv`. And to activate the virt environment use `source ./.venv/bin/activate`. You can now use Python as usual, but all is going to be installed in `./.venv` when using `pip`.

Man this is great! I'm impressed.

Do you use the virtual environment feature of Python? This is mandatory when working in Python. I never install any dependencies globally, it will lead to conflicts and lots of problems.
comment in response to

And with Python you can also go up to generate source files and headers. There's a small library called `csnake` which is very good. Documentation sucks, but he put a unit test for everything, so the unit tests are the documentation... sort of. 🤭

Use Python with PILLOW for that. It is way more convenient. Especially you're in Linux, Python+Linux is an awesome combo. For rescomp file, I could share with you a small module I made to generate them.
comment in response to
post
That's an interesting way to do it. Did you automate the generation through a script? On my side, all this stuff is made with python, including the `rescomp` file.

I wonder what kind of desk fits this debugger... Interresting though.

Oh! Nice streaming!!! this isn't something you can pull out easily indeed! It needs tooling and a bit of planning. Good job!

Yes! This is a very interesting technique if you are ready to sacrifice very important resources/features to break the limitations... especially during gameplay.

😂 Someone needs to put that feature requirement on the planet's wish list. Thanks for that!

I think I'd go with the Jeopardy! video games. It has that woodgrain TV set feeling that fits with an Atari 2800 or a Coleco vision. To me the game is boring, but the 80's feel is there.

😂 That's a very good one!! I never imagined someone would come with that one, probably because I never played it. But looking at screenshots, it makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Welcome.
I love these lo-fi voice samples that feels like 90's arcade. It fits a lot the aesthetics of the 16bit era.

Thank you for the hint, I'll give it another chance.

I recently discovered the game. I'd say I like it, but I found its gameplay at moment a bit confusing, but maybe my age starts to show. However, what impressed me the most with the game is its the art direction it is awesome and the usage of the Saturn hardware. (as usual for Treasure games)
