I had the thought of making a mod specifically for this to play with the RTX lightning thingy... started a map and...left it unfinished.
Lately, I haven't been motivated to do anything.
Also life's a bitch

NVIDIA have discontinued Quake II RTX

Quake II RTX released back in 2019, with NVIDIA using it to show off more ray tracing effects for their RTX GPUs but now they're done with it.

While digging through my Game Boy carts last night I found what might be my favorite bootleg find. The title and label really capture what I love about unofficial releases.

A bootleg Game Boy cartridge of The Blues Brothers (1992, Titus). Despite being a black and white Game Boy game, it’s in a Game Boy Color style cart (albeit with a notch in the back so it can still physically fit in an original DMG-01) that’s molded in yellow, and says “Game Color” where an official cart would read Game Boy Color.

Despite being a copy of The Blues Brothers, the cartridge label has a picture of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as seen on the poster for Men in Black. According to the cartridge label, the game is simply called “The Blues Brother”. Rest assured, you can indeed still play as both Jake and Elwood.

I purchased this at a GameCrazy in 2005, where it sat among the other Game Boy/Color games as if nothing was amiss.

An obscure cpu clone of a #GameBoy won't support a system RTC date past 2011. Found this Y2K12 bug while disassembling the system ROM of the #MegaDuck laptop model. The hardware itself could do it, but I guess they didn't think anyone would still use the console 15 years later (made in ~1995) [contains quote post or other embedded content]

How I squeezed the ATTRACT MODE of Super Sunny World (NES) into 10 lines of code! _________________________ "Attract Mode" stems from the arcade. Looping gameplay would entice viewers to try the game. It helps avoid burn-in on CRT displays. Later this would come to home consoles as well! #nesdev

Making Sense of the Federal Forces on the Streets

With President Trump sending ICE, Border Patrol, the National Guard and other forces to U.S. cities, here's how to tell them apart - and what their powers are.
I replaced the bottom of the graphic which showed border patrol, ice national guard fbi DEA and secret service instead with old Wolfenstein 3D characters including German Shepherd, dog German trooper, SS guard, mutant guard, German officer, Hans grosse, doctor scharrs Hitler ghost, mech Hitler, and Hitler.

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.
