New blog post! I wrote about the super charming art disc Classical Cats. Artist Mitsuhiro Amada mashed up everything he loves in one place for this: cats, classical music, sumi-e, classical poetry. Sometimes all you need is cute cats and beautiful art. cdrom.ca/games/2023/12/…

Wrote about reimplementing Classical Cats's CD audio code to get it working in ScummVM... and how 28-year-old defensive programming almost tricked me into missing a major bug. mistys-internet.website/blog/

New blog post! I wrote about Under The Fir Tree: The Day of St. Claus, a gentle, warm and surprisingly un-Christmassey Christmas game that tells the story of a lost puppy who washes ashore in the North Pole and makes a new life there. cdrom.ca/games/2023/12/…

New blog post: I was dumping an arcade game for MAME to fix a bad dump in its database, only to end up discovering that revision didn't really exist in the first place. Even just getting that far and dumping this version took a little work though! mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2024…

New blog post: I dug out my old copy of a favourite Japanese Mac game from 2004, and discovered that it's had an official English translation hidden inside its files this entire time - that can be unlocked by just changing a single byte in the save file. mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2024…

Somewhat spicy headline this time, but seeing a feature I rely heavily on get worse made me realize: it feels like "GitHub", the traditional website, is being treated as a legacy product from corporate's perspective. mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2024…

Wrote a new blog post for the axo blog: how we made our shell installers smarter. We now track the version of glibc Linux binaries were built against and do some smart version comparison to make sure we're always installing a binary that actually works. blog.axo.dev/2024/08/glibc
