the reaction of blue archive fans to criticism of their franchise/fandom and the "Love & Tolerate" movement of 2011 are the same picture. it's just bronies with a new coat of paint. i will not be taking questions

Oh no! A trolley is heading towards your company's employees, after which it will loop back and harm the Ren'Py artists on the other track. You can pull the lever at any time to divert it, harming only the Ren'Py artists and saving your employees; however, doing so will place all responsibility on you for making a choice to comply in advance with the trolley's demands. Do you pull the lever?

how am I supposed to select "1.4.7 - 1.7.10". guess I am no longer the target audience
"What version do you currently primarily develop for? If you develop for multiple versions, pick your currently preferred version. [ ] 1.16.5-1.19.2 [ ] 1.20.1 [ ] 1.21.1 [ ] Drops (>1.21.1)"

One of the complaints regarding WonderSwan homebrew development is that the console's unusual button layout makes it difficult to prototype game controls. What if you could use *the console itself* as a game controller via USB?

(Yes, this is part of the nileswan hardware!)

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

It appears that the Polish DRM-free anime purchase service Animagia has quietly shut down its operations at the end of 2024. Despite its barely functional storefront, it will be sorely missed as evidence that better movie distribution was possible.

It's really, really cool to see the Digimon Official Channel on YouTube using the community-made WonderSwan consolizer!

(These horizontal streaks and three-column split are the giveaway artifacts. This isn't emulation or MiSTer, and this isn't the old TV Swan - second photo - either.)

It's important to note that this is the first revision of the Mazovia 1016, as designed by IMM. There exist later batches manufactured using the same cases, but with random Taiwanese-sourced XT clone boards. They even made sure to strip out copyright notices!
Differences between the May 1986 Phoenix XT BIOS (2.27) and the Mazovia variant - primarily in the spirit of changing "Copyright 1984,1985,1986 Phoenix Technologies Ltd" to "Copyright 1989,P.H.P MIKROKOMPUTERY - Warszawa ".

Spent this weekend working on emulation of the Mazovia 1016, an IBM PC/XT clone from 1986 designed and built in socialist Poland using primarily Eastern Bloc components.

The old CATALOG.TXT files claim "The Underground Bugtown of ZZT" was the first game you made, though we don't have enough information to conclusively figure out if it was the first game you released - Prodigy is pretty much unarchived, so most of what we have are BBS reuploads. Hope that helps!
