    That was indeed where many of my teenage hours went - hacking out game experiments in DJGPP and Allegro on our family’s 486. It was also my intro to Emacs which stayed with me for …

    I think this might work great from a celestial body with no atmosphere, but on Earth this company has bullshit written all over it imo
