@beardalaxy I think many of the delayed games suck because they were trying to keep up with the industry trends instead of making a good game.

Duke Nukem Forever is probably the best example. The developers wanted it to be on par with the most advanced games at the time because DN3D was released a month before Quake and looked severely outdated because of it. So they were constantly changing engines and starting from scratch.

Though I haven't played or know the development story about any of the games on the right side of the image, so I don't know what happened with those games.

Recently I played the PC port of the 1992 Famicom classic Gimmick!

Here are my Oshie thoughts!

Pretty good talk on the LadyBird browser:

I compiled it a few months ago and was fairly impressed. I really hope we see another major browser engine rise in the same way Firefox/Gecko did in the early to mid-2000s, before Mozilla sacrificed all their values and destroyed their userbase.

This weekend, 800 yen is on the line for After Midnight Games as we try out a Linux-native indie RPG. It's cheap-as-free on Steam, but if we're impressed enough after 4 hours of playtime they'll earn a sale of the Supporter Pack.

"Let's Try: God's Disdain" is this Saturday May 10th, only on PeerTube

WHEN: https://time.is/0830PM_10_May_2025_in_JST

I've also re-positioned the sword to better fit the new sprite. It's still not perfect though and I plan to redo the walking animation, so that the character is holding the shield in place instead of swinging it.

@aronn yes many of us want to see native audio/video calls become reality.It would greatly help if we had funding to hire contributors to get this done on all platforms sooner rather than later.

@Okymir @illegalrx if you're going to upgrade to windows 11, i'd heavily recommend a few things.

first, chris titus tech's winutil. it'll let you customize your operating system a lot and do things like disabling updates, telemetry, and tons of other stuff.
github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winu

second, explorerpatcher. this will give you back all of the old windows 10 stuff including the taskbar, start menu, and the right click menus.
github.com/valinet/ExplorerPat

third, toggle rounded corners. only the setup .exe worked for me, but getting rid of those rounded window corners in favor of the old sharp ones is so much better.
github.com/rich-ayr/win11-togg

there are a lot of other tweaks you can do. if there is something you don't like about windows 11, there is almost a guarantee you can change it somehow with tools people have made. it is not unlike using linux in that regard, imo. personally, i mainly still use windows because it has an amazing colorblind filter and i've had issues with linux randomly corrupting itself when it updates or not working with some of my devices, even simple ones like my mouse.

A buddy of mine made a level editor for that 1990s Spider-man game for DOS/C64:
