I have updated the article to fix broken images as well as adding a featured image that might make you toss your cookies. schnapple.com/grassy-knoll/

@mrdoornbos I’m old enough to have been brought up on the C64 but I thought maybe this was a joke because the cover looks AI generated. But no, it’s real and it’s glorious. I’m now convinced this 1984 book is how ChatGPT got started and no one will ever convince me otherwise

@Jaku …and putting it in the middle of the screen for the Google Cardboard VR SDK. If you could take that, split it, then put half the image in each eye, lined up right, it would probably work just fine. Assuming you can use an MFi controller or something with the thing. /fin

@Jaku lol I could take another look but I’m skeptical that I’d be able to do much without hardware. That said this or something from Provenance would be the best candidates to start with. Essentially, all that it’s really doing is taking the image from the VB core of Mednafen… 1/

@flibitijibibo It’s especially annoying since… let’s just say it’s a known fact that Source engine games can run on 64-bit Intel and Apple Silicon. I get that Valve’s priorities are Windows and SteamOS, but you can’t tell me they don’t have the resources to have someone recompile the things.

@Livid @MacSourcePorts I’ve had a few requests for it and it’s on the list, I’ll see if I can get to it soon.

.@TomKidd Hi Tom, have you tried Quake3e? It seems much faster than ioquake3, and it can compile to run natively on Apple Silicon. However, they didn't have a bundle for macOS. I'm thinking maybe @MacSourcePorts could make a bundle and signed release? github.com/ec-/Quake3e

@NotABigJerk @TimeDoctor There is a nonzero chance that I’ve misunderstood what was causing it but all I know is once I turned these on, reruns of The West Wing stopped looking like a soap opera.

@NotABigJerk @TimeDoctor Also, if you have an Apple TV 4K and a TV with Dolby Vision, turn on “Match Dynamic Range” and “Match Frame Rate” so that it doesn’t try and apply any sort of framerate smoothing to non-Dolby Vision content. support.apple.com/en-us/HT208288

Every single time I go use Postman for something it’s like breaking out a board game I haven’t played in years and I have to relearn/remember all the goddamned rules again. And nothing works like you’d expect. It’s a great tool that’s absolutely excruciating to use.

@9to5mac The period of time between unlocking the car and the lights turning off in the garage was interesting It was actually pretty dark in there but night mode still came up with this.
