I imagine this was it. I was starting high school in 2008, and I hadn't felt so connected with my friends than that first year or so that Facebook became popular. Previously, I would go home after school, and typically wouldn't se

Just to give my experience: I'm from Nebraska, and was back there this past week. When I arrived home (in Lincoln), there was still 4-6 inches of snow on the ground, following the snowiest winter they've had in decades. It turned

This is a really neat project, I look forward to diving into it deeper. Within the last week or two, I've (re)discovered the Game Boy homebrew scene, which seems to still be rather active. It's still quite Greek to me, but I'

I'm an avid Pico-8/fantasy computer fan, and this is a really nice project. There have been quite a number of fantasy consoles coming out within the past few years, so it's nice to see one that offers features that the others

What about the UI don't you like? I've heard this complaint before, but the two appear pretty similar to me, at least to the point that I never considered one more appealing than the other.

I've been using Pico-8 for about a year now, and I really enjoy what these "fantasy consoles" have to offer. For making a quick game or visual effect, it does an amazing job. There are now a number of projects of a similar ve

I have had a similar experience to you. I switched to using DDG as my main search engine for about a year now, and I am quite happy with the results it gives me. Once in a blue moon I'll be stumped enough to try searching Google, but I

I have what is probably a very naive question, as I am not well versed at all in Electron or web frameworks. I understand the complaints towards Electron, but I also see the appeal of developing utilizing a cross-platform browser. Is there

This was my first exposure to it as well, I follow the developer of Voxatron/Pico-8 on Twitter and they were posting videos of it in action a few months ago [1]. Voxatron got an update recently that is beginning to show a lot of promis

I'm curious to see how Discord fairs in the long run. I've been a daily user of Discord for nearly 2 years now, and I think their core text-and-voice service is the best on the market (for now). However, whenever I hear about Disc

Some of the more well known ones are Final Fantasy, A Link to the Past, and Pokemon. Here is a comprehensive list of games that currently have randomizers written for them. Full disclosure, I've written two of the Kirby randomizers ;)

I am in the same boat as you are. After the Firefox Quantum release, I decided to switch from Vivaldi and try Firefox out for a little bit. While I did like it, and it did seem to have a slightly faster performance, there are just many QoL
