@RetroTechDreams Premiere 4 still runs on Windows 7 :)

@brockpierson A lot, back in the dialup era. I tried it this weekend for old times' sake. Lots of logged in users, but no one was chatting. I might have just been on at an inopportune time of day, though.

@assembler_bot Old is somehow easier to "read".

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@tschak Do you have specific things in mind?

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@pastbytesrc Makes me wonder if the Plus/4 has enough horsepower to do realtime decompression to make 300bps a little more bearable :)

I've got two projects cooking (one is an idle game in Godot; the other is a desktop publishing makeover for a print & play sports sim game manual), but both are refactors of other folks' commercial projects, so I haven't been posting screenshots.

@PixelLeonard What was the trick?

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@SixLabors Who/what use cases is this for? How do I know if I want/need this (honest question)?

@tiaratumgames @Poki Looks like the old Space Warp toy I had back in the day. I couldn't figure out how to make it fullscreen, though.

@kanomaaruka Currently Godot. Possibly Defold in the future.

@kerimsafa The interesting thing is this could probably have been done on Amiga Deluxe Paint back in the day, but I don't recall ever seeing this aesthetic back then. It would be fun if someone dug up something of that era in this style.

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@the_duriel Is there a use case for that?

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@HallOfWanderers I tried the iOS version, but two times I had characters one-shotted in the training dungeon and haven't opened it since. Not sure if this is a skill issue on my part or a balance issue on the game's part.

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@tomjamespotter I was looking into influence maps for this kind of thing (but got sidetracked by a different project.)

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@Mat_Zo I had this same idea recently when trying to imagine a "poor man's Harmony Bloom" that might be within reach of my meager dev skills. No time for it, though. :)

@NathanielJDev What was the trick?

[Alan Monroe @JavaJack59]

@mkristensen Mainly watching all the windows and panels and panes rejigger themselves super slowly waiting to hit the first breakpoint in a test debugging session. Feels like 3-4 seconds if not longer, even on a machine with plenty of RAM.
