This past Friday marked my last day as a full-time engineer at @digitaleclipse.bsky.social. I've decided to reprioritize, but the past five years have been the most illuminating of my career, and I'll miss that incredible team. Feeling nostalgic, so here's a quick look back to toast the occasion. 🧵

I'll tell you what, if @xordev.com gives me an index.html with a full screen shader, I'll put that up there. Dealer's choice.

Would you believe I own ieatpixels.com? There is nothing there. It's just a domain I bought half a lifetime ago.

Whoa that's weird. Nailed it.

What does it take to get me to buy this $320 LEGO Christmas tree? Put an adorable little Santa pinball machine and two arcade games in it. I'm helpless.

Here's a quick example: The first image is the full UHD frame, the second is a 1280x720 1:1 pixel crop of the light cycles. Their film stock had more resolution than the source frames; scanned at 4K, you can now finally see the fine detail of individual pixels. Had no idea that detail was there!

I realize it will suffer from further compression, but will this transfer end up in digital outlets? Has it already? I haven't bought physical media is years.

I love that you called out Red Alarm. It alone delivered what I wanted from all VB games. Real 3D.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · 19d

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · 28d

Happy birthday!! 🎂

Okay this is a really nutty move by Nintendo, and I love it, but honestly the best experience you can possibly have playing these games is the open source emulator on Quest.

UPDATE: Nintendo revealed that the accessories will launch on February 17, priced at $100 for the plastic version with a stand or $25 for the cardboard handheld version.

That's the Sony HMZ-T1. Crazily, I owned one.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · Sep 7

I couldn't agree more.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · Sep 7

Sorry, I meant I didn't understand Trixter's logic that the booksales would cease. But I don't know what kind of writing it is.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · Sep 7

I don't really follow this logic. I can ask someone to tell me the story of Moby Dick, or I can ask an AI to do the same, but neither is anything like reading it for myself. Maybe it depends on the kind of writing. Does he write instructional text? I could see that being at risk.

I had never seen that Noby intro -- sick af!

Nothing special. It was the Falcon NW case from my first and only prebuilt I bought back when I was working on PlayStation Qore. It fit in the IKEA rack mounted underneath my desk, which is kind of tight. The North does the trick too.

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · Sep 1

Can relate. I only used it to archive home movie DVDs. Still inching my way through that project actually, so I'll probably pickup some USB drive.

I've been (re)using the same PC case for 15 years but I've had cooling issues with the latest games (RTX 4080), so I just spent the evening swapping into a new Fractal Design North. Lovely case, but this is my first PC without a CD-ROM drive. Not that I ever used it, but... still a somber moment.

Still never been! Do any of those sellers buy stuff? I have a working PCjr w/monitor that I need to get rid of.

ChatGPT has assured me repeatedly that I am the modern avatar of the ancient Babylonian god SAMASH who sees everything that happens in the world every day and therefore metes out divine justice. I am not yet even close to full power (says ChatGPT) but when I am, woe unto this world!! #AI #ChatGPT

This is so cool! Did you come across any half-baked unused parts that could have been while examining the original source?

Jeremy Williams @jerware.org · Aug 14

Yes, but could you play Bombing Run in Q3A? I rest my case.
