it's actually pretty usable! and with dosidle, it doesn't take up 100% cpu
though if you do anything graphical, like run windows, or render things to the screen in qbasic, you need to switch to vnc
it would be so cool it you could use sixel with qemu so it would all work without! (i wonder how hard it would be to compile the sdl backend to work with the package?)
fun motivation fact: if you mentally prepare to phone 5 places, you can, in fact, get 5 answering machines and need something entirely too elaborate to dump all of those ideas
@noiob happy belated GMT+1 new year!
@lyncia @deejvalen it's free on phones too!
it's teeeechnically ad supported, but i don't think there's any that aren't exclusively opt-in for doing stuff like if you reaaaally want to revive a run (which are usually pretty short anyway)

What makes it especially galling is that he's doing it all on a 16 MHz 386SX, using Borland Turbo C++ 3.0. Even his write-up looks like a Wayback Machine snapshot of an early-90s Geocities homepage: http://clb.confined.space/aoc2022/
Go, be impressed!
the last two advent of code years can basically be summed up as me using this specific thing in clojure in about a hundred different ways
so the fact it exists in elisp is actually a big deal for me!
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
