Despite the 'non-woke' framing Xlibre was forked under, it's a net good that a fork exists to take in the hundreds of PRs that the original project ignored.

Have they not learned the lessons of KeePassX? Why must they double down on the idea that every critic is some kind of bad actor who needs to be shot down? It's that kind of behaviour that created the fork in the first place.

The PC port of Mario Kart 64 is out

There's also already a functioning Dreamcast port

Reminder: The web you might miss of the 1990s or 20'00s is still out there!
So I feel no reason to miss it!

Its just that now these cottages lie within the shadow of corporate skyscrapers which dominate the skyline.

For all the vilification "the deep web" gets (not that there's a clear demarcation), I see most of the harm lying on the surface!

@TrueMasterCole @branman65 As someone who was actually around and aware of the gaming scene when the Dreamcast was around, I feel it has become the ultimate Overrated underrated console (the GameCube has also become a lesser version of this), because there really was not all that much excitement for the console back when it actually launched. As a game (ignoring the graphics) Sonic Adventure was considered massively inferior to something like Mario 64, Shenmue was overhyped and underdelivered, and while the console was considered to have plenty of good games, and brought some genuinely cool innovations (like Phantasy Star Online's online gameplay), it ultimately lacked that big System Seller which could have given it the necessary momentum to survive the PS2's arrival.

This universal Dreamcast Love we see today absolutely did not exist during 1998-2002. There's a reason it ended up with sub-Wii U sales.

Here is the basic implementation of the map zoom function. As you can see it saves your spot for the zoom, even when exiting and entering the map.
This is just with the current map image in the game. What I'll do is have a higher resolution image (200%) and swap it out with the lower resolution one whenever you zoom in. Just have to make that version. I have the higher resolution asset so it won't be an issue.
What do you think of the speed of the movement? Too slow? Too fast? Would you like to see it more zoomed in?
There will be prompts on the screen to tell you how to control the map, just haven't gotten to that yet.
