@StairwayToRetro That is correct!

literally every Silicon Valley product comparison chart:

@PRBG_Aesthetics I sure do love them old pre-rendered backgrounds!

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@RuneZapGames @pikuma Agreed!!

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

Haven't posted in quite some time! So here's some more awesome books from my collection. Sorry for the ping @pikuma but I figure you'd appreciate the fact I have the entire set!

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@OnsteamRando @pikuma Yeah it's definitely got some quirks to it like all Andre LaMothe books

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@benljbrooks @pikuma They are awesome! What happened to yours?

@OLaverly @pikuma They have pretty awesome covers as well xD. Lot of old style raytracer and 3d rasterization found in these.

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@pikuma I managed to snag it one day for about $18. I haven't had time to sit down and read it yet but I did flip through it and it seems pretty good. Definitely worth it if you like Windows 3.11/Win95 VB Game dev :)

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@OLaverly @pikuma Can also highly recommend Graphics Gems series. There's 5 of them and they are quite good.

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@WeerwolfDolf @pikuma Oh right I forgot about that one! Hmm well that's awesome more for me to get! Here I thought I was running out of books!

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@pikuma I know right! I can't believe I was finally able to complete the set. The Visual Basic book was a bit tricky to find for awhile at a reasonable price.

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

@pikuma Nice Haiku :)

@IroncladDev Not something most will go for honestly. But I run my own IRC/XMPP servers. Slowly building out and moving the community over there.

[TheRetroDev @TheRetroDevs]

I enjoyed Linux greatly in the 00s.. Sure it had problems we don't have today but overall things were far more consistent and the community was very big on modification. Now we have the lovely X11 vs Wayland debacle, all of Gnome dictating how applications look.

I use FVWM3 and GTK applications are the absolute worst to get looking decent. The most egregious issue by far is the double titlebars because of how some GTK4 applications are. Thankfully Gajim for example does allow you to turn off the titlebar allow X11's native to function properly.

I would love to go back to that time again and live there forever. Mass Effect 2 also hadn't of come out yet and introduced the idea of DLC already on disc that you had to pay for yet either. Food for thought on that.
