To be honest, it would not be the first time the left hangs itself by ideologically opposing some technology (nuclear power, GMOs, just to cite a few) only to scramble to get back on track 20 years later. So I am not particularly confident they will not fuck up again.

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Remember when we used to say, "With open source, you can change the software as you like," and non-dev people were like, "Sure, but I don't know how to do it, so it doesn't matter"? Now, with coding agents, they can actually do it. I wonder if this will make "open source" a more important feature.

The year started with a bang. I read an Einstein biography, watched a great, century-old movie, and got caught by Polish progressive rock once again. But, most importantly, I have a cat now.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially.
I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game.
Pixel approved!
Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart
