22+ years ago I made a small multiplayer game on the Dreamcast. The younger me had big plans for what the game should be. Plans that were first postponed, then forgotten. I was recently reminded of and got the opportunity to begin realising those plans:

@ninjadynamics If you ever go for a vacation in the northern part of Denmark I’ll make sure to set you up for an experience of a lifetime. A close friend of mine has the, without question, largest exhibition of all the classical arcade machines you can imagine. https://t.co/bkQiRbLaRE

@falco_girgis .@falco_girgis I've sent you my DSP research notes via the Discords.

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@falco_girgis The thing I did "proove" is that running SFX through good DSP programs is super easy to setup and run on the AICA. It is just setting the DSP sequence and the right register bank settings for that channel. But the good DSP sequences I had were 'borrowed' from commercial games :-/

@falco_girgis I think it looks fine, ship it!

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@lykkefriis Wow sikke en masse bots og nyttige idioter der svarer på denne tråd. Flyt til Rusland hvis I elsker Putin så højt som I giver udtryk for.

@RobertDaleSmith @falco_girgis @ninjadynamics @PalmerLuckey Ps. I recommend https://t.co/uP4e5hfY3x for getting yourself a BBA, generally best prices I’ve seen and reasonable service.

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@RobertDaleSmith @falco_girgis @ninjadynamics @PalmerLuckey Best part about the BBA for me isn’t launching code and streaming data, although that is gear, but the GDB based debugging which is pretty solid.

Looking for alternatives to @Ubiquiti that can match them technically but have a stronger ethical track record regarding Russia’s war against @Ukraine. If you’ve switched away from @Ubiquiti, what did you move to, and how has it worked out? #homelab #networking

@CombyLaurent1 👍

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@CombyLaurent1 Where are you at in the world, I have some spare GD-ROM drives and I wouldn’t mind sending you one or two, for science ;)

I’ll try to pick from the least used machines that I have.

DM me if you’re interested.

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@CombyLaurent1 Have you considered if your GD-rom drive is going bad? I assume you have.

@maximilian_ @nhamaguc @finalfantasyvii I just came up with a question I care about the answer to: Are we going to get closure on Leslie and his fiancée?

(A little late, I know ;))

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@HughEdw54983916 @michaeldweiss I should go re-read it. Last time was some odd 27 years ago...

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@falco_girgis I remember reading stories about the keyword inline being a false placebo for programmers, and that the compiler were so good now that they’d always do better in general than what people can manage. Maybe that holds for modern more complex CPU’s? Makes me love the SH4 even more.

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@falco_girgis There is no happy ending if you cant inline that mofo ;)

[Daniel Fairchild @dfchil]

@falco_girgis ... I'm not offended, just a little overwhelmed ;)
