- Getting my daily news from a dot matrix printer - Andrew Schmelyun via Ben Werdmuller - we had (old) printers like this in the home growing up and there would be something very nostalgic about reading a daily roundup on dot matrix paper
- DOOM ported to run almost entirely on AMD GPUs - GamingOnLinux - don’t waste your spare GPUs mining crypto or generating derivative artwork- play Doom instead! More importantly, today I learnt that LLVM can compile C++ to run on the GPU, via AMDGPU and NVPTX backends.
- Experiencing Old Games In New Eras - Brain Baking - thoughts on how even playing games on original hardware can’t recreate the original experience
even if you manage to grab a few other nerdy friends that cling onto their original hardware like I do. There’s nothing left to explore: everything is available on the internet; on GameFAQs, Wikis, fan pages, disassembly articles, generators
- Ruffle for Libretro - Jesse Makes Things - I stumbled upon a RetroArch/libretro core for Adobe/Macromedia Flash. I’d love to get this building for ARM handhelds. Maybe I shall try!
