VimEscapeArtiston I put a real-time 3D shader on the Game Boy Color

You can buy the ModRetro Chromatic from the Oculus VR creator. It's better than anything Nintendo could ever produce.

VimEscapeArtiston Web-based image editor modeled after Deluxe Paint

I've been following this app for a while. Worth noting that the author is also a very talented graphic artist and demoscener. Works created with this tool frequently appear in various demoscene compos.

VimEscapeArtiston Writing a good Claude.md

What's the actual completion rate for Advent of Code? I'd bet the majority of participants drop off before day 25, even among those aiming to complete it.

Is this intentional? Is AoC designed as an elite challenge, or is the journey more important than finishing?

VimEscapeArtiston Quake Engine Indicators

I'm old enough to remember all of these. Under the link below, you can still find old screenshots from deathmatch games we played in clans back in 1998. On dial-up modems with pings sometimes exceeding 400ms. It was terrible, but we played anyway :) That unplugged icon would appear when there were connection issues (not lag) and sometimes just for a moment. https://archive.quake.world/clans/ol-team/walki.zip

VimEscapeArtiston Canva is considering porting Affinity to Linux

For those wondering what Affinity is: it's now a package of 3 programs (Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher) combined into one tool. These are alternatives to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Photo handles raster image editing, Designer is for vectors, and Publisher for desktop publishing (layouts for books, magazines, brochures, etc.).

All these tools are real competition to Adobe. They're roughly at the same level of functionality, and in some cases even better.
