white balance is done. thanks for the great suggestion! I also fixed Amiga’s smile while I was at it.

updated as requested

Ok. I’ll find a different image host. Heard that Imgur is blocked in the UK

You got it! I’ll update the image in a couple of hours

Ok, lemmy won’t let me update the thumbnail anymore, but what color scheme would you prefer in future posts? I hear grays are all the rage nowadays?

I had to google what that means but thanks for your feedback

Your percentage of legal games was probably still higher than average 😉

good old times. those “starter animations” are called “intros”. this one has my favorite SID music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j069Eve63iY

I beg to differ. They just asked for a book that explains “how to do pretty much anything” (admittedly pretty vague). i’m assuming they mean things like browsing the internet, composing simple music, editing photos etc. You can do that without knowing any of the things you mentioned - they are part of most operating systems today, so the book would just need to go to that level.And when it comes to programming, the book could just explain how to code simple stuff for example in JavaScript in the browser’s “developers tools” (or equivalent).

…and a high percentage of those were copied illegally. I’m not judging, just stating a fact

you’re right. nowadays a beginner would have to sift through a bunch of websites to figure out how to do it.

interesting theory. i’m afraid we’ll never find out if it’s true

and all the great Winamp skins…

Yes. Did you read the disclaimer?

Disclaimer: WINE means 'Wine Is Not an Emulator", so the statement about four layers of emulation is really a lie. To make things worse, the ZX Spectrum emulator for C64 only emulates Basic, not machine code. But that’s ok, because it all looks the same and the whole exercise is pointless anyway.

There are of course Atari and Apple emulators, but there are no emulators for those systems, so from that perspective they would be a dead end. I tried adding one level (C64 emulator for Amiga), but don’t know how to emulate HDD on Amiga.

Looks like the rivalry is still alive

exactly!

great question. i think it would be super difficult to predict the future of gaming technology at this point

oh, wow! that’s so cool!

random convergence

• isn’t it the fourth one (NinjaTech)?
