SecuROM - The PC CD-ROM DRM that broke games | MVG

#Delon : bah non.
Non à la célébration des agresseurs et aux reniements du féminisme. Cette intervention m’a value le harcèlement des réactionnaires et les insultes de Véronique Genest. Une plainte a été déposée, et le principe de cette dénomination adopté par le #ConseildeParis 🤦🏼♀️ A suivre.

Ended up writing a tool in Godot which allows me to quickly iterate on & render out prerendered backgrounds. At runtime, a stencil buffer is used to composite the background with dynamic geometry such as players. Looks pretty darn convincingly like an old PS1 game I think, and workflow is very convenient!
BTW: I'm currently looking for work and I love working on tools like this in any engine. So if you need somebody who loves automating things to make other peoples' lives easier, consider: Hire me please!!

The Sun Ultra 5 Was Kinda Weird
「 Most VA medical facilities manage health records using a suite of tools launched by the US government in 1997 called the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS). But it works on top of an even older system called VistA – not to be confused with the Windows Vista operating system – which first debuted in 1985 and was originally built on the operating system MS-DOS 」

After 30 years, I guess it's finally time for me to accept Windows 95 into the ranks of "retro" operating systems. I just added a new 86Box VM... A decent 80486DX4 with 100MHz, 16MB RAM and 1.2GB HDD should be more than enough to start with.
This makes me feel a bit old... 😉

I just used this Windows 95 VM to install Office 95. Unfortunately, it doesn't have "Clippy" yet. I think he was introduced with "Office 97". Sad retro noises....
