The kid who stayed up too late because tomorrow felt far away.
The teen who found courage, comfort, or escape in pixels and music.
The version of us that survived by holding a controller.
Nostalgia isn’t just about the games.
It’s about the moments when everything felt like it made sense 💙

I was so incredibly tired of all those sound generators that can only create retro sounds... so I created my own!
It's a work in progress and it'll be part of a new project but enjoy some sounds I've made. Each of these took a minute tops! ✨

While fixing bugs for #picotron 0.2.2 I ended up yak-shaving quite far into future features, so here's what native window exports look like.
tldr: export -n foo.bin to get a binary that runs as an arbitrary sized window directly on the host desktop.
