So, this is actually how being creative works. Star Wars succeeded because Lucas threw everything he had ever read or seen (Fu Manchu, fairy-tales, WWII films) onto the screen. No modern Star Wars has replicated his success because today’s writers have only seen Star Wars.
Fixing Windows, one kilobyte at a time.
Back in the NT days, Notepad was lean, fast, and stayed in its lane. Today? It wants an account, cloud sync, and Copilot’s opinion.
So I did what any retired OS engineer would do: rebuilt it from scratch.
2,686 bytes. Full features. Zero bloat. Pure Win32.
All in assembly language.
No telemetry. No nonsense. Just the Notepad you remember — only smaller than the thumbnail image!
Would love to hear what you think — and what other “impossible” tiny apps we should tackle next.
This is why the death of Flash was such a massive tragedy. Miniclip, Newgrounds, Armor Games, Kongregate, etc. were a fantastic way to play games without having to invest in hardware and now the best "free games" are all predatory gatchas and F2P mobile titles

Cuando VALVe estaba al borde de la quiebra y Gabe Newell fue a pedir ayuda para lanzar Steam, el 99% de la industria le dijo que no, que perdía el tiempo. No fueron una o dos empresas. Fueron todas. Lo cuenta el propio GabeN en el documental del 20º aniversario de Half-Life 2.
Ahora esa misma industria llora porque quieren parte del pastel que su propia incompetencia y arrogancia les impidió ver.
Excepto VALVe, nadie pensó a largo plazo. Nadie se jugó la empresa y el patrimonio personal contra una industria sin visión. Nadie apostó por tratar a sus clientes como personas.
Por eso CEOs como @TimSweeneyEpic y compañía se la pasan despidiendo gente en masa mientras buscan nuevas formas de exprimir y abusar de los jugadores, en vez de construir una comunidad de verdad.
Steam no es un monopolio. Es la recompensa por hacer las cosas bien cuando nadie más tuvo cojones.
