> Frame pointers are still a no-go on 32bit so anything that is IoT today. Isn't that just 32-bit x86, which isn't used in IoT? The other 32-bit ISAs aren't register-starved like x86.

Another problem is that on low resolution screens (or small browser windows) the boxes on the top left hide the text on the bars behind. I had to zoom out to 50% for it to be readable, which then put other bars behind the boxes.

It looked much better on contemporary monitors than it does on modern ones.

Do you know why they made those handles public instead of private to each app?

Don't high dpi screens consume more power as well?

Maybe they meant programming against GTK, not being against it?

It's not really a precedent since PS1 games weren't encrypted.

Retaliate how?

Make sure to use an ad blocker and turn off that weird Ambient mode graphical effect that just kills framerate. Videos should play fine after that on a Core 2 Duo if you have hardware accelerated decoding enabled.

You can if you have fallbacks for when those features aren't available.

You can. Old reddit as well. I do that regularly on a 1st gen Atom netbook with 1GB of RAM and no SSD.

It does support Rust syntax in the current version. It seems to have an LSP module but I haven't tested it.

Emulators like PCem or 86box are what you want for these old systems, not virtual machines.

But C doesn't statically link the standard library by default like Rust does.

A bonus is that typically only good games get those 'complete' or 'director's cut' editions so you won't be wasting time on crappy games.

It's the other way around. Windows 3.x looked like OS/2 1.x

> There was a time when Unity was the 'indie game engine' as well. That's still the case, depending on how you define indie. I'm not aware of any major AAA game made with Unity.

Somewhat off-topic but one thing I noticed in the article's videos is the stark difference in visuals between the emulated game and the old VHS recording. Even though the image is much sharper and cleaner, it somehow looks uglier to me

Quake didn't use hardware acceleration either. It was only the later VQuake and GLQuake releases that did.

It's unusably slow for me in Firefox/Linux, as in multiple seconds per frame with the CPU at 100%.
