Well you've got the 8/16 bit in the general section. But how would you add a language section with the number assembly and dialects.

Not a bad idea lol...Although I think the site is pretty retro-centric anyway.  :)

I'd Like to see a Dedicated RETRO Section of the site  :D

lol, thought so. Yes the M4 chip made me push the button and upgrade my laptop. I've ordered the Macbook Pro M4 Max with 64Gb RAM

Yes, SyntaxBomb is all mine, muhahahaha.

@Steve Elliott I'm eyeing up the M4 Pro Mac Mini with 64GB RAM. The M4 chip is certainly shaping up to be a beast and with Thunderbolt 5 I can look into dual 4K 240hz OLED monitors \o/ lol

I really hate Visual Studio Code. You spend more time going through the documentation and pissing about setting thing up than you do actual programming.

I swear this town just doesn't have good connection reaching other places or something because no matter how good you are makes no difference when everybody's an aimbot

That's what I'm talking about! I played a gungame server on fistful of frags that's local or Seattle based and I actually stood half a chance of winning equal player skill. Not the demoralizing no matter how much effort you die sort of thing it usually is

The new mac mini looks tiny, but powerful. The base model is cheap (by Apple standards)

I have the most epic remixes in my head but I can't invest my life Into that there's just not enough time

William

2024-10-27, 20:29:16
The 90s may be long gone but songs like halcyon on and on I still listen to and encapsulating what that spirit was about and songs like above and beyond counting down the days. Except the guy who sung bass master Dota was kinda the ugly end of it. Idk I always regret the things I say thinking they misrepresent me or it's not a good thing

I remember something about a BRL forum member that got mentioned in the UK news papers, who ended up getting sectioned, or something of that nature. Not sure if that was puki.

The last memory I have of Puki was when he proclaimed to the world he was self-touching to the box art of the 8-bit game Barbarian!!! :D I mean... That sort of comment sticks in the mind you know! :P

@Naughty Alien Darn I wouldn't even know where to start. I only recall the last post on ultraengine.com

Naughty Alien

2024-10-26, 02:52:08
Puki was very active dude on old Blitz3D sire, until it was tanked. Quite funny guy with rather unique humor and writing style, and veerry entertaining to watch his posts, so i was wondering, what happened to him. I assume hes british so i thought guys from over there should know what is situation with him.

William

2024-10-25, 21:05:59
synchronicity? well, i talked to pakz idk about puki or maybe it was puki on the blitzcoder site (the oldschool one) in 2022? well, i think it was pakz i talked to. @Naughty Alien

Naughty Alien

2024-10-24, 15:47:42
..anyone knows whats going with Puki ? For no reason, he just 'landed' on to my mind..quite funny dude back then..

I haven't been able to program because life takes priority and .. whatever it is. I still dig it but obviously I'm not doing it like being forced offline. Maybe it will never amount to anything. I have a feeling this is one of those Satoshi things I need to figure put something might be big heha

William

I think I'm bullied even today

William

2024-10-18, 20:05:25
Freaking abusive people making me feel like a piece of crap for liking or being somebody for such things. Really the people I live with make it as though I'm some hypocrite or piece of trash for being who I am or digging programming or whatever. I've only been trying to fight for myself and they're trying to make me pay for being who I am or whatever the case

William

2024-10-18, 01:41:07
Most of the dev seems to be about framework

William

2024-10-18, 01:38:02
@Baggey I need to be honest. You will not see anything come of it. If I do, it could take a decade. I think I'm suffering from belittling in person but not being able to do anything about that or other mental challenges. I really wanted to work on a game but for whatever reason life problems.

Baggey

2024-10-16, 16:24:58
I Look forward to seeing the up updates as you progress  ;D

I've always liked the look of Gran Turismo on Playstation 3DzForMe, but couldn't justify buying a PS for one game.

i looked it up @GrindalfGames very neat. i got my laptop setup on windows next is ubuntu but already uses 13% cpu for game project i started, maybe i'll build my project for libsgd convertion, or continue with b3d.

Thanks William. My first game was Dungeons of Mysteria. A first person Roguelite

Hopefully I will catch up a little in the Autumn sales

GrindalfGames

Well it looks like Paws for Adventure will end the week with a 5% conversion rate. 10% is normal for the first week on steam so Im a bit behind.

Just because I'm not liked.

Got a PS4 with PSVR2 - both from the 'dad' shop (CEX) 2nd hand - the Wipeout XTreme is something else in VR. Yeah 'this' gen consoles - never had one. On the XBox One - Project Cars 3 - best racing fun ever. Got GT tourismo Sport in VR - thats also got its plusses, PJC 3 wins out for moi,

Steve Elliott

2024-09-13, 08:55:45
XBox games come to PC anyway

William

2024-09-13, 01:48:36
Playstation is probably better

William

2024-09-13, 01:47:55
@Steve Elliott I'm on the same pc bandwagon, yeah but sometimes it's nice to have an exclusive Playstation or Xbox and play with all the other players, I felt that way when I borrowed an Xbox for halo reach though I was disappointed with reach

Steve Elliott

2024-09-12, 17:39:51
Just pre-ordered it.

Looking forward to Planet Coaster 2  ;D

Steve Elliott

The Sony Playstation 5 Pro is mega expensive - you might as well buy a PC. For me it's PC and Nintendo Switch 1 (2 when it arrives) gaming.  :D

Block block block the net is real :p

Yes really, Hee Il Cho always sat on the black belt grading panel. That made me extra nervous lol. Until he got kicked off for mixing up a top student with a poor one (later in life he didn't wear his glasses as he should because of vanity).

@William - no, he is just replying to the text just before his one.

@Qube yeah. We're you referring to me? I don't have any coin It's just that i didn't know. I wanted to share. May be dreams are possible. I wish I had the coin don't know what happened except deleting and giving away. May be it'd turn up some day.

Yes I agree. He seemed so relaxed and cool, but also had the voice and the stage presence to shine in everything he did...Can you name the martial art film he was in - without google lol?

Apparently Braid, Anniversary Edition is not selling well. That's a shame because it has an interesting game mechanic and is graphically much better than the original version.

Steve Elliott

2024-08-15, 19:18:02
The Switch has an awesome OLED screen in portable mode. But yes it can be 'docked' and the dock plugs into a screen via HDMI. As well as the Nintendo classics like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario Bros Wonder it can run the old classics like Frogger and Donkey Kong to Tempest 4000 to Quake 2 (enhanced) to modern day games as you might get on Steam. The Pro controller is an extra, but well worth the investment later on...And there's a more powerful Switch 2 on the way.

If im not mistaken dosen't the switch plug in to a TV. I lived Duke Nukem 3D and Quake

I already have the Quake 2 enhanced version for the Switch - great to replay the classics now and again.

I picked up the latest bunch of Doom games (available on all platforms) for free. It's advertised as DOOM   DOOM II, but it has various mods and enhancements.

Steve Elliott

2024-08-10, 21:22:47
The Nintendo Switch. It's a games console that is portable but can switch to a regular console by plugging it into a monitor.  The OLED screen one is the best.  :)

Baggey

2024-08-10, 19:53:24
What's Switch? I Supouse i could use a Search Engine?

Steve Elliott

2024-08-09, 19:16:01
Yep 16-bit graphics and hopefully an interesting adventure. I miss these types of game. I picked it up for switch, but it's available on other systems - like Steam.
