    I enjoy retrocomputing a lot, being a huge part of my life. I do not want to see advancements made by a technology I truly despise. I'd rather see less impressive, handmade project…

    His entire discography is worth a listen, honestly. Gems absolutely everywhere, and deep knowledge of his (traveling!) studio.

    As we say in another language, "you should probably get your ears cleaned". Besides the Blade Runner & Chariots of Fire soundtracks (two masterpieces of albums, which is two more t…

    Xash3D is not really open-source. The original codebase comes from leaked/decompiled code, and nowadays still requires the proprietary HLSDK to build.

    Besides the sadly obvious vibe-coding, just note that SimCity is still an active trademark from EA, so might be good to rename it.

    These are not as odd as satellite phones, I'd say.

    The era of MSN, MySpace and self/ISP-hosted pages didn't feel like gatekeeping at all; sure, there was some privilege involved (internet access still is a privilege in 2026), but t…

    Quite ironic to post this on a platform that uses 1/4 of the screen for advertisement and a drowning GDPR prompt. (Also the CSS makes it tedious to read on a computer.) Why the ref…

    (nice username) Patriot Act, FISA, Cloud Act allows the USA to basically impose its justice over other countries. And it's never in the interest of its citizens.

    Ah, my bad. I agree with your analysis. Although Nintendo is still following the path of "gaming enshittification" with lesser budgets; and I would argue that Star Fox mostly sells…

    My point wasn't about Nintendo ruining things in-house rather than them following the exact same trends than Sony & Microsoft, only a few years late. MP4 is what OP was talking abo…
