pulling together some wonderfully mismatched graphical elements for stream background/overlay stuff
A screenshot of what appears to be a mismatched computer desktop with a lovely synthwave landscape wallpaper, and a little Atari Adventure-style pixel-art dragon off to the bottom-right. The image includes an old Macintosh-style menu bar at the top, with a colorful Atari Fuji replacing the Apple logo menu. At the bottom is a Windows-style taskbar, with a start button depicting the Steam Deck logo. There are a couple of Amiga disk icons towards the top-left, and at the bottom-left is a media player, branded as X Multimedia System. The menu bar and taskbar each have their own clock, roughly three hours apart from one-another.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".

I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

Oh if you insist.
A picture of a Steam Machine with a NeXT logo, green power button, drive bays, and that NeXT kind of stripey part decoration part testarossa intake strakes that aren't. It's a mash of disparate things but damn it's fine.

update re: the tcrf Brawl Stars page.

i replied asking for a list of what, specifically, is violating said policy.
(my email) Hello. I am the owner/operator of The Cutting Room Floor wiki (aka "TCRF"). First: we have complied with the takedown demands. The content at https://tcrf.net/Brawl_Stars is no longer available, and the page has been replaced with a notice and a replica of your demands. TCRF is a community wiki dedicated to preserving details of game development, as well as cut and unused content. (see Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cutting_Room_Floor_(website) ). The linked page did not offer any kind of replacement for the game in question; it is literally a repository of things removed from it. I would prefer to have this content and history remain available. To that end, I am CCing both the "IP team" at Fondia and Supercell's legal contact e-mail address in hopes that a human can address what appears to be an automated takedown request. Hopefully we can get some answers. [from IP-Team.Supercell] Hi, The copyright claim you received was due to content that is against Supercell's Fan Content Policy.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (yes I do it’s everyone) but you’re allowed to have fun with your own existence.

You can enjoy it, make it art, take the piss out of yourself, laugh at and enjoy and be absurd strange little creatures all you want.

In fact I recommend it.

the Macintosh System 7 was the first W I D E S C R E E N Macintosh.
A picture of a small LCD hand-held game device probably from the early 80s in some dimension or another. It's a silvery beige brushed metal device with a d-pad, button, GAME A, GAME B and TIME buttons, and a little Apple logo and Macintosh System 7 logotype below it. Onscreen is a little fixed greyscale LCD with colour background display that doesn't have any really obvious way of doing anything whatsoever.

Admittedly I haven't done a whole lot in terms of 3d dev work. But to my mind, making Z the vertical dimension makes a lot of sense.
For any game world with a consistent gravity, the two horizontals have more in common than the vertical. Shouldn't the more-similar dimensions have adjacent labels?

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.
