Extent of the Jam

Hey! It is out now for all to play! itch.io/jam/dosember... — please also check out the other DOStember Game Jam entries :)

A week from tomorrow is the beginning of the END of the Orange Atrocity! 🍊 💩 #voteVoteVOTE

I put a TimeSplitters reference into a stem splitter for a product I work on. I wonder if anyone got it :D

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

I am feeling optimistic about the future

Happy #ScanlineSunday! Here’s Firehawk: Thexder the Second Contact, running on the Sega Master System

Good day for democracy! Hopefully it keeps up :)

Commanche FX was a planned port of the DOS game Comanche: Maximum Overkill to the SNES using the Super FX chip. Here it is running at Winter CES 1995. One of several 3D SNES games shown at the event that would never release. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/c9adc7ca-554b-44ea-bac5-c0998c3e1888

I remember I had a computer languages professor who had worked in the 70s and talked about not just punchcards, but how linking used to be a step you did by hand.

In this house we believe Star Wars is sci fi Zelda is an ARPG

For #RandomGameSaturday I’ve got Strike Commander, a Chris Roberts game. This cinematic aerial dogfighting game predated Ace Combat by several years and was among the first texture mapped flight games. Maybe I will replay it. There’s a neat manual and I’ll append it to this post if I find it.

VR: Always just five years away. Some images of Virtuality from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social's library.

I really enjoyed this game. Out of this, Destruction Derby 64 and 2, and Carmageddon, this was my favorite. And it’s got Brujaría.

Does the Marathon 2 song ever randomly get stuck in your head?

Things that work well in home shmups, besides a hard limit on credits: 1. The player earns extra credits ala Mars Matrix DC 2. Smaller challenges: 1cc 2, 3 stages ala Darius Burst 3. Call “easy” mode “normal”, default to it, have hard for the experienced players (Terarin does something like it)

Too much Terminator, not enough Colossus

I recently watched this for the first time. Fantastic movie.

In a world where we’re drowning in “content”, you’ve gotta just find the people who care about what you care about. An awful lot of things that turn that creative spark on for me are considered long obsolete, yet I still find others who appreciate it at a deep level. Find your people.

#LogLoads64 (Reloaded) Park Patrol A favourite #C64 game of mine and 100% in my top 50 games on the computer. If you have never played this - you need to play it this weekend, if not today. It is just one of the best arcade games available. So many lovely details. So much fun. Nostalgia Overload.

I don’t know if this is a hot take but: Breakout > Playing GTA correctly But Randomly causing trouble in GTA > Breakout

#SpookyMonth64

Awww man. Is this the end of the road for C?

If you have a special interest & know what it is, you are blessed. Many people go their whole lives without finding something that makes them truly happy & enthusiastic. #Autistic

Whenever a hard boiled egg gets a small crack and its innards get sucked out through it, it reminds me of that scene in Alien 4

Everybody gets nostalgic for defrag, but I’m waiting for people to get way into cross-linked files.

If that new Aleste arcade game coming home has Manabu Namiki I might consider it

GG Aleste 3 soundtrack, hot damn

Toaplan should put out a cereal called Fiber Shark

It’s a good time to be a frontend applications dev 😎🍷

WWIV undefeated

I love these 90s tv sci fi movie trailers. Like you can’t parody them, they already seem like they’re for some fake movie within a movie

Lol I found the trailer for another mediocre mid 90s tv movie I had been thinking about: The Tower from 1993

Giving Sega Touring Car a spin. I’m doing the best using MT and Alfa Romeo so far. It might not actually be harder than Sega Rally, it’s just very fast and twitchy.

“They’re forced to wear collars RIGGED TO EXPLODE” Come on, when that’s what the trailer starts with, you know it’s one of the greats.

Isn’t subsidizing the cost of the console what console makers used to always do, via the licensing fees?

“Advise you slam ‘em continuously!”
