Happy 40th birthday to MIDI! 🎂🎉🍾🥂

MIDI is a standard of a data protocol and interface. MIDI isn't a style of sound.

Not really. Windows 9x kernel was fully its own, it was just meant to handle both 16 and 32 bit stuff for maximum compatibility, hence some of the instability.
Here an article by one of the guys who was actually responsible for implementing it:

"Early Windows versions" as in the first two. This is 9x we're talking about. NT already existed to fill those features for those who needed them, but 95 was created precisely because general public didn't want to leave their plentiful 16 bit software behind. (1/2)

(2/2) And not for nothing, just because an OS is unstable or not great in some aspects doesn't make it not an OS. It's still is one.

How many of them were both 3D AND *fully* texture mapped AND lightmapped though?

I looked it up. Or rather, I downloaded and checked out a Descent map editor.

The Making of Karateka is on every platform that sells games except Switch, RoboDoc is on Screambox.

And today from the RoboDoc documentary I learned that all the cops in the movie were named after mass murderers. 😅 https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1589023384184422401

Replying to @jas4500 and @TafferKing451

You absolutely can, and that's how I play now, but that doesn't change the fact that this isn't how people played until *years* after the game was out. Most still played with the default controls all the way into the WASD acceptance era (late 90s).

Replying to @TheMedievalNerd

I'm gonna be that guy just because certain people are this way with me: this is a pc booter game, so by definition not a DOS game. (Unless you're playing a pirated version that got hacked & turned into a DOS game, of course. 😉)
 Wed Aug 30 21:54:27 +0000 2023


Replying to @TheMedievalNerd

Yeah, that's definitely hacked. Originally not a com file. Or any file, really.

 Wed Aug 30 22:33:36 +0000 2023


Replying to @TheMedievalNerd

I do the same! So I have faced this criticism several times before, but my excuses are:
- I am well aware of what booters are.
- I may be screenshotting a pirated version, so technically I could be right. 🤷
- I don't want to come up with additional hashtags. 😅

Replying to @derekseibel

They never owned Descent since it was published by Interplay. There have been multiple Descent-branded developments in recent years, with very little to show for it. Unrelated to the brand - Overload, essentially the real Descent 3 by most of the original team, is pretty great.
 Thu Aug 31 20:16:07 +0000 2023


FCK 2020, or German Techno Band Scooter During the Pandemic: the Documentary. Not great. Obviously something was brewing. Singer's girlfriend left him & other 2 members quit after the doc was finished, but the film reveals very little despite spending 2.5 years with the band. 🤷‍♂️

These are promo shots released for the press, and I just reposted them here. I have no inside information about the game, or its current state of development. Because not even a release date has been announced, I assume that nothing seen here is in its final state.

So far that's been an option for every Nightdive remaster, so I would be quite surprised if this one was different.
