The 1990s 3D landscape was super weird and super interesting. Of course I grew up during that, so working with the Voodoo card I could never get is really cool.

One of the big reasons 3dfx took off was because they released an OpenGL wrapper for hardware accelerating Quake, pushing people to standardize on 3dfx cards with a wide install base. OpenGL was strictly high-end SGI tech and D3D was a farce.

Mechwarrior 2 was released in in ATI, Rendition, Glide, PowerVR, ViRGE, and Direct3D flavors!

dead serious about this that transition from Phantasy Star 4's Ooze to PSO Episode 3's IDOLA The Strange Fruits in the Profound Darkness EQ is such a fucking powerful Final Boss moment it's impossible to capture just listening to the music in isolation

i have to admit, one of the main reasons i'm working on the pso2 server emulator is because i NEVER want to see pso2's music be impossible to experience without context

it fucking rules

i really wonder what the fuck this game is doing sometimes

SEGA really does just leaving all kinds of weird shit around.

The Wind Rises is a beautiful, tragic film.

successfully parsing landform templates. spawned lobby based on template instead of hardcoded offsets and lookups

i am quite close to having the ability to just teleport to an arbitrary (templated) area and have objects spawn correctly
