Yep. I bought a yellow one with the intention of making it a dedicated PICO-8 machine, and it is wonderful. It's not as perfect as 351p is for GBA, as 5x integer scaling leaves you…

I wholeheartedly agree with you that TIC-80 is not as great as PICO-8 is, and I would never recommend it over PICO-8 to someone who wants to start their adventure with game develop…

That's just a single data point, but here's my experience. I have severe myopia, and I experience discomfort when reading from a screen over a prolonged period of time. I read a lo…

I'd love to hear more details about your setup, if you're willing to share. Especially the part about using the Kindle as a secondary screen.

You pay for the console, and the games are open by design. You can load any pico game into the console, go into edit mode, and see / edit assets, music, levels. The console only su…

You're assuming someone places value on proper documentation because they need proper documentation to make it "accessible to you". That doesn't have to be the case. For me, lack o…

He coded those games single-handedly AND in x86 assembly. Yep, that's a good example of a genius, right there.

I can provide answers to the last two questions, based on my limited experence. > What are "local HR laws"? I think this refers to the fact that regulatory compliance is different …

Here's where having a teacher helps a lot. I started out as an adult beginner, and I remember that in one of the first study books (Duvernoy or Burgmuller), there was a passage in …

I like it too, very much so, to the point where I recommend it to people that find K. N. King's "C Programming: A Lengthy Approach" too intimidating. And I had nothing to do with w…

This small Austrian village already changed the name to Fugging. Someone did notice.

Used the online version a lot before, and I'm tempted to grab the desktop app just to show support. Still unsure if I would use it over the web equivalent. There are some things st…

Sure, I added the following assumptions: - stuff I play myself - something I can explain to the 70yo parents in a few minutes before the game - easily available (either recent, or …

Thank you. Falba is pretty much exactly what I was hoping to find, especially since I'm in Europe too. Appreciate the help.

I wonder, is there a place one can buy a prebuilt 40% keyboard, with keycaps, the full shebang? Split or not, I'd love to have a portable mechanical keyboard to carry around, but I…
