Microsoft Comic Chat next, please

I didn't get this reference, thought it'd be something about comic sans, haha.

In case others are unfamiliar, too:

> Microsoft Comic Chat is a graphic IRC client created by Microsoft, first released with Internet Explorer 3.0 in 1996. Comic Chat was developed by Microsoft Researcher David Kurlander, with Microsoft Research's Virtual Worlds Group and later a group he managed in Microsoft's Internet Division.

if this means BRender is open source too, and I get to play the first Carmageddon with 3DFX Glide on conveniently, happy days. I can hear the CD spin up Fear Factory already.

Carmageddon's game engine already has open-source clone project:

Game is 100% completable. There are bugs and missing bits here and there, but it already plays like the original did and its super fun!

This. Carmageddon & a 3DFX was peak 90s mischievous gaming fun for a 90s kid.

Hey, an open source graphics engine that can compete with Meta!

Honestly looks more impressive

Horizon Worlds has antialiasing, but 3D Movie Maker has legs.

Who knew the metaverse would come with this many choices?
