Then which country am I speaking to?

Genuinely confused as to what the use case is for this. Do you put it in your own app / page? Is it for managing features across all your services? Is it just its own features??

I don’t have any links to hand, but look into Dynamic DNS. It’s basically a way for your device / router to talk to your domain registrar, and update their DNS records whenever your IP address changes.

Have a look at DuckDNS as a starting point.

It wouldn’t really. Hand-drawn sprites are pretty standard even today - whether they’re hand-pixelled (Stardew Valley) or frame-by-frame animation (Spiritfarer).

Most things in Doom, if we’re counting photos!

The characters and environments in Fallout and JA2 are basically still frames (sprites) of 3D models at specific angles. They were rendered once on a powerful development machine, and converted to sprites for our lowly Pentiums and Voodoos.

If you think it’s an unregulated mess now, take a look at the home computer scene in the mid-80s. Absolute wild west, dude.

Lots of the best games were prerendered! Donkey Kong Country, Fallout, Jagged Alliance 2, Duke 3D, the Pro Pinball games, just to name a few.

I do have a soft spot for prerendered graphics.

Yes, where they put the superior Amiga screenshots on the back of your ZX Spectrum game

Damn.

…I managed to do the same too, just trying to scroll up on a question, and despite having read both these comments.

Starting to think it’s a ‘them’ problem

Nice, they’ve gone from early PS2 graphics to late PS2 graphics!

(to clarify: I think this is good)

Show us a better solution.

And the best everything else, too!

The website is spectacular. There should be more sites like that!

When was this, exactly?

I’m amazed there’s anyone out there who hasn’t heard of Jim Fucking Sterling, Son

I ran 7 on a Dell netbook for a few years, and it worked great (though, naturally, not as great as XP)

Because mice are a solved problem. New phones can ostensibly have new features, better cameras, better displays, etc. Similarly, new cards and CPUs can give you measurably better performance.

A new mouse is something you get when your old mouse is broken, and if that’s happening every year, then there’s a big problem.

The Neo-Geo would like a word
