    Philippe Katerine, the well known French musician, and Federico Pellegrini, the lead vocalist of the Little Rabbits (as well as other bands like French Cowboy & The One, Moon Gogo, Western, Dillinger Girl and “Baby Face” Nelson, etc.) had once recorded together under the name Les Deux Nigauds.

    The Simplest Way to Annotate a Map
    Find a map that fits the location you need for your game. Print it out. Write evocative location names on the map with a pen. I haven't found a method for annotating maps easier than that.

    In praise of long-gone, one of a kind New York City restaurants like the Viennese Lantern
    I’d never heard of the Viennese Lantern until I stumbled upon this postcard. But the colors and the sketches made me curious about an era when restaurants entertained diners with cabaret shows every night featuring chanteuses and violins. Located since 1947 on the ground floor of an Art Deco apartment tower at 242 East 79th Street, the Viennese Lantern was launched by Max Loew, a former actor “chased out of …

    “Woke Game Engines”: The Real Reason Some Dudes Are Pretending Godot is “Too Political”
    Listen to an audio version of this blog, read by the author Following a social media post asking game developers to share their creations, Godot is now getting review-bombed on Steam. After 7 years of glowing reviews, this game engine has received nearly 1,000 negative reviews in the past week.

    this is all I know and all I dream
    Warren Ellis on Coppola’s Megalopolis: It is full of ideas. Over-full, sure, but who cares. The politics are sloppy, the symbolism is all over the place, the actors are performing in five different movies, everything stops dead early on while Adam Driver does five minutes of Hamlet, and who cares. It reaches for something. Something monumental. Its abiding message is not in the film, it’s about the film: it says …

    Unit testing from inside an assembler, part IV
    I'm not terribly happy with how running unit tests inside my assembler work.

Here's one of the tests I added to my maze generation program (and the routine it tests): getpixel bsr point_addr ; get video address comb ; reverse …

    Joker: Folie a Deux (Todd Philips, 2024)
    That's entertainmentSaw Joker: Folie a Deux and-- well I liked the ending. Todd Philips can't direct traffic to save his life and the movie still looks like a recycle bin of older better films, among others Umbrellas of Cherbourg, One From the Heart, Pennies from Heaven, and (a Scorsese, can't not have a Scorsese) New York, New York and you can feel the droplets of sweat showering down like a …
