  • It was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can’t find that… wikipedia has

    Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3D graphics

    and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites

    Rare invested their NES profit in Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Challenge workstations with Alias rendering software to render 3D models. It was a significant risk, as each workstation cost £80,000.

    (sharing bc I thought that’s a crazy amount of money for 1992)




  • Great job! Quit 5+ years ago, though I’ve slipped and had a couple in that time. Not buying 'em was the biggest thing. Still want one whenever I see actors smoking in a movie or show… so the craving never quite goes all the way away.

    I never realized how much it makes you smell until I stopped and could immediately smell it on anyone, no matter how hard they tried to hide it.

    I don’t remember exactly what’s in my old desktop that I converted (traveling and I still haven’t set up tailscale sadly), but it has

    • 1 6TB WD red for storage
    • some other number of drives also as lvs
    • 32GB RAM
    • an i5 (9th gen i think?)
    • An Nvidia 750Ti (lol)

    Then I’m only running

    • sonarr
    • radarr
    • prowlarr
    • flaresolverr
    • homepage.dev
    • qbittorrent
    • jellyfin

    as a docker compose project/system service on Debian server, and I have a Raspi4 running Kodi/OSMC with the jellyfin plugin for streaming to TV

    This was an old desktop I had laying around that was a hackintosh when I was doing digital art professionally, and I figured I’d toy with converting it. One day I’d like to get to a full-fledged setup like yours, but need time and $$
