Shameless plug: Buckminster Fuller has a (not so small) cameo in my game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ :)

There is no paradox because they are here already. Here she is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ Made for the HN crowd :)

One of my game's main characters is an Amiga fan and the Amiga vs ST rivalry has small cameo in it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ That said, I've never owned…

Shameless plug... The Koh-I-Noor has an important cameo on my science fiction narrative game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ (on sale now :))

Despite quickly becoming obsolete, the early ZX computers (ZX80 and ZX81) were a marvel of cost-benefit at the time. Most people had no access to computing of any kind... The diffe…

THANK YOU! Can we now have all the Infocom games owned by Activision (which is yours) now? Pretty please? I know the source is available, but we'd like them with a MIT license (inc…

It's because of the artists. The Amiga was a much more affordable art-making machine, so many artists made graphics ON the Amiga FOR the Amiga. There were even some good-looking VG…

Believe it or not, but the answer is revealed in this videogame: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ Spoiler: it's not Adam Back!

This reminded me of when people used to transfer games over the radio: https://www.racunalniski-muzej.si/en/40-years-later-a-game-f...

I banned the Oxford comma in all writing within my individual business. In fact, I released an entire 100K+ word narrative game without using Oxford commas (I consider it a bug if …

Those were the days. I still believe nothing replaces the camraderie of the small, local BBSs. The large ones were good too, but these tended to resemble the modern Internet forums…

My company's answer to your question: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ :)

Some acoustic music instruments have fairly simple base waveforms which are "colored" by their shape and acoustics. I've once spent a few hours passing basic sound through modern e…

This is an incredible find. It would be amazingly cool if we could create an emulated environment for compiling and running Unix v4 from these sources.

I am a 50-year-old who left a FAANG Engineering Manager job to build a sci-fi game. I just released Outsider, a sci-fi narrative game with multiple endings. If you want to support …

If you are interested in hacker culture, you might enjoy the game I released yesterday, Outsider ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ ). The main character is an …

I own the poster version ("The Art of Atari, the poster collection") and it's great. I have three of their posters hanging in my office right now. It's not just nostalgia, the art …

You're right. My comparison was more about sculptures as art vs the games as art. If you don't believe them to be equivalent at some level, it would be difficult to find this prese…

This is really important work. Humanity has done a decent job at preserving artifacts from our past despite wars and the effects of time on our cultural output. Throughout history,…

I actually wrote my first toy multitasker on a Gameboy Advance, although that's ARM7... Great little project. It's a joy to develop on an emulator with good debugging tools.

My upcoming story game, a love letter to SETI and the Hacker News crowd, offers some perspectives on the question: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3040110/Outsider/ It will be o…
