Been at the robots again, sorry.

A glowing robot being menaced by floating polygonal skulls. Perfectly normal.

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.
github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom

GitHub - UZDoom/UZDoom: UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities

I agree, I went ahead and booked it :) I'd be fine to navigate public transport normally, but I need to be nice to myself. It's expensive but it's a small extra spend on top of the total cost of the trip really.

I'd get to the hotel about an hour earlier.

I get in to Düsseldorf about 20:30. Given that I'm feeling a bit crappy, I'm sorely tempted to book a 30 minute taxi transfer directly to my hotel instead of fucking about with trains and local taxis for an hour or more. #Amiga40

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

DOSBox Pure appears to be a nice step forward in Desktop DOS emulation, moving more towards parity with console emulators. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4q8...

I recently accumulated this Zilec/ACG/UPtG list, to finally get a comprehensive overview (more than 700 releases 🤯): www.SabreWurl.de

And Interceptor Micro's VIC-20 game 'The Pit' (Licensed from Zilec/AW Electronics) is of course included. 🤗

Graf Zahl forced AI slop code into GZDoom and messed up a bunch of features without talking to anyone, pissing off basically all the devs and now it's being forked. Fun times.
