Gobliiins by Pierre Gilhodes on the . The puzzles are somewhat wacky and not always logical. However what I think was the worst design decision is that trying out things hurts the Gobliiins and once the yellow health bar is used up it's game over. This is very counterproductive for an adventure game and forces you to perfectly redo screens after you finished them.

Opus drops a huge apple in a gap in a bridge so he can cross over.
The Goblins arrived in the house of the witch master. Lots of bottles standing around and two carnivorous plants. The witch master is reading a book.

partysam,

@root42 Incredible fact is that DOS EGA version had the same colors, the art direction is solid.

Originally intended to be used only once by Disney

He was created as an antagonist for Donald Duck, first appearing in the 1947. However, his popularity grew so large that he was given his own comic book series in 1952

partysam,

@sayomgwtf Forgive my ignorance, but I thought that the main antagonist / competitor is Gladstone? Or has he been introduced much later?

And the PX-8 takes it! Solid choice, y'all.

The flip-up screen has a lovely hacker aesthetic, and the colored keys really give this 80s machine a certain 70s vibe. Plus, that tape drive gives you plenty of space to store all that data you steal while decking about in the matrix.

Tune in tomorrow for the next one (I hope)

partysam,

@48kRAM I bet that microcassette drive and the sleek design were driving the voters to select PX-8.

@ve7fim The Raspberry Pi 400 really looks like a modern incarnaction of Commodore 128-like computers of the 1980's on this picture!

Loving this video by debuglive, really neat to see an Atari ST being used in a home music creation setup. Using computers for productivity as they were when they were new is one of my favourite things to see.

The built in MIDI and abundance of software certainly made it a good platform for music creation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpMMwc0Mn0Y

partysam,

@ChartreuseK That was a great video.

What is the hashtag that you would recommend artists to use to say that their art is not created with AI?

partysam,

@davidrevoy It should evoke positive emotions. "HumanArt" sounds like something a robot or alien would say.

I would vote for

I wish Mastodon has a "logout for 24 hours" feature that would log me out and then not let me login for 24 hours no matter how much I begged and pleaded.

partysam,

@grumpygamer That's what social media is. Even though Mastodon is non-commercial, its app has all the addiction-inducing patterns of Twitter. I have made a post (https://mstdn.party/@partysam/110448553568950491) about replacing at least one of the addictive features, but it gained zero traction.

Mastodon in its current form is far from what a normal, user-oriented version should be.

Photo of two books open: one on the credits (you can find the exact same content on License tab on peppercarrot.com website) and a double page with episode 17.

partysam,

@davidrevoy The print quality looks really, reaaly good! Happy to see my favorite characters coming to the paper book format :)

I wonder if they still work?

It's been a long time.

@ve7fim Looks clean and pretty solid, definitely worth trying :)

@TCD This shows once again that all text-related activities we do now with bloated software, are fully possible on 68000-based computers of the 80's.

We don't need any significant computational power for sending, receiving and managing text.

We need competent software development teams with correctly set up processes.

The Colani is ready. 486SX-25, 8MiB RAM, 128KiB Cache, 128 MiB HDD.
What shall I testdrive on this machine? Suggestions welcome!

partysam,

@root42 Modern-day tasks with software of 1992-1994 era in GUI environment. Windows 3.11, Photoshop, MS Office, CAD software. Most likely sounds boring as hell, but it's impressive how little processing power we actually need for 95% of our needs.

partysam, to DOOM

Just discovered an absolutely brilliant project – version of that is perfectly playable on Raspberry Pi Pico – the $4 board with 264K RAM and 1-dollar CPU.

This is the full game, no corners are cut either in graphics or sound.

The development process is very well described on the project author's website:

The hardware in action:

Which is your favorite?

partysam,

@root42 It was so ahead of its time, in a sense. Similar competitor from Nintendo was released only 7 years after.

partysam,

@lanodan This is why I spent the weekend redownloading the games from Humble Bundle, GOG libraries and decoupling some of the Steam games from Steam. Turns out, some steam games do not require the launcher at all if you launch the binaries directly. And some other ones launch just fine if you replace 1-2 steam library files with the "replacing" ones.

I cannot support the technology that requires internet connection to do basic stuff, just to lock the customers in.
