@sinbad I think is the effect on the target combined with the like what gives that impression of something "liquid".

@sinbad so realistic, I can almost hear the sound of the wee! 😂

(I'm very sorry; this looks amazing!)

@sinbad @grumpygamer when I really got into git I think both were available already? I can't remember, but I write blame because old habits and is shorter and... I don't judge people (very often I find it was *me* anyway).

@sinbad like a a personal homepage! Reminded me of this: https://stackingthebricks.com/how-blogs-broke-the-web/

(Blogged about it here https://www.usebox.net/jjm/blog/digital-gardens/ -- and because *blog*, it is lost in a way)

New game: Alien Intruder, a single screen jump-and-shoot arcade platformer for MS/DOS and compatible.

In space no one can hear you scream, so use your blaster instead!

@sinbad BITD there was also some based in Ruby and Python, but yep... the one single binary to do it all is way more convenient.

@sinbad yep, I'm also questioning why I decided to use hugo in the first place.

Obviously, you don't need to use it, but makes me wonder what is the ethos behind the project 😅

Stopped the courier pushing the SSD through the letter box, hopefully before it was damaged 😅

@jwildeboer I would say... on the same day that #Mozilla decides to remove "Do Not Track" because everybody ignores it.

I know Mozilla may be a lost cause, but you post made them look worse than they are, at least on this topic 😬

And you're right, wildly ironic 😅

@sinbad yep! Now a days in my retro hw I avoid RF. Composite or RGB (SCART) for best results.

There's a lot of conversation, on and off, on how CRTs looked and how the pixel artists drew the graphics so they looked in a special way on a CRT TV; but I don't see people mentioning the systems that used *RF* to get the video signal to the TV.

That was the worst, although evidently I didn't care when I was playing games in my ZX Spectrum. We used imagination a lot back then!

Then, on Libera:

#️⃣ gamedev: what it says on the tin, mostly

#️⃣ haskell-game: like gamedev and Haskell? Every now and then there are Q/A that are 💥
