  1. On the other end of this spectrum, I'd like to add: There's nothing stopping anybody extending MS-DOS to 64-bits to create a new boot-to-DOS OS that new software can be written for. Like, we don't have to stick to MS-DOS compatibility ad-inifinium. There can be new DOSes, there can be new software for command-line text-mode interfaces that aren't 40 million lines of C, just a BIOS or UEFI abstraction that will run on literally any hardware in the last 35 years and continue to run [hopefully] for the next 35 years.

  2. anyone else obsessively play The Incredible Machine growing up?

    when i was a teenager, it was pretty rare to have games that ran in VGA/EGA hi-res modes. so whenever i came across one, it was a rare treat.

    TIM runs in 640x440 using non-square pixels. that's already a fairly uncommon graphics mode in its time.

    even weirder: the original diskette for it reads "256 color" on it. except..... the game isn't 256 colours! not even close. it is a *16 colour game*. it uses the standard EGA palette colours with one tweak: it replaces screaming pink magenta with a warm gold.

    it manages pull off the 256-colour-like look through dithering. zoom in to the screenshots to see how the artist creates really beautiful texture and colour ramps using just 2-3 colours. (e.g. the gold plating in the first pic)

  20. Ieri per tornare da San Vittore fino a RomaSud, poco sopra i 100 km di #merdosa autostrada, ci ho messo quasi DUE ORE e MEZZA quasi a passo d'uomo

    Ero pure partito di notte, per evitare casino

    E alla fine, dopo aver fatto file da appena entrato ad appena uscita dalla MERDOSA autostrada, ho dovuto pure pagare quasi 10 €

    Poi ho visto bene oggi cosa è successo ieri in Molise...

    That reminds me of when I single-handedly destroyed the meaning of #MSDOS! 🥴
