image of part of the insides of a NEC PC-6022 plotter
www.pc-6001.net/p6/hard/6022... well i found a page covering someone repairing one that helpfully has a photo that confirms that this was indeed where the chip came from
i've gone ahead and thrown together a skeleton MAME implementation of it now (it doesn't _actually_ print, but it "works")
photo of a small PCB mostly housing a QUIP64, some other minor components, and assorted wires and test probes
it's "find a way to extract the internal ROM from an ancient NEC microcontroller" time again, now featuring the uPD7801
running at 2x the maximum clock rate makes it glitch into executing from external memory very quickly, but the fun part will be figuring out how to control it after that
a lot of younger people don't know that before big corporations drove out the competition, you could go to a local mom and pop shop to get your data breached. they'd send their most lopsided son Rodney to follow you around and get a glimpse of your social security number
okay just one more moon child edit
Artwork made by editing a screenshot of a custom Doom engine map. A blue haired and blue skinned woman with yellow eyes and a yellow dress is partly obscured by shadow, with an abstract pattern behind her. The woman and the pattern lie on a black background, which also represents the ground on top of which trees and a house lie.

@97thcenturyfox.bsky.social did the architecture of this room, drew the germ tree (using a hexen tree as base), and designed the color palette!! 💖
I designed the rest of the scene -v-
Underwater Imps!!
I employ the same technique in Devilution MAP30 if you're curious for examples
They are multiple 128-height midtextures "stacked" (layered closely together) to create the impression of singularly tall textures. Vanilla doom can only support textures that are 128 tall before they tile, so this becomes necessary for the effect.
Also only now noticing that I left the default doom2 map21 music in the video lol, since I usually have sound off while I do stuff. That's not the actual music (or likely even the slot) for the map. Just how I test it.
The bar at the left of the video that looks like the glitchy shit you sometimes see at the edge of an NES game? Accident. Probably the result of recording this in window capture OBS at 5 in the morning, but hard to say!
Realized I hadn't shared anything of my BTSX map here before, but it's a thing I'm working on
Happy April 1st Bitch I'm releasing TYRANT NIGHTS a celebration of everyone's favorite bald bastard #doom #doom2
Made a birthday wad for my friend Lucky_Edie with @hebonky.bsky.social

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.
I want our World Wide Web back.
A screenshot from DOOM + DOOM II, the KEX-Engine port of Doom. The megawad Headless Chicken is loaded into it, on the title screen.
Headless Chicken's 🐔 11th Release Candidate (don't ask what happened to 10) is now up on the DOOM + DOOM II KEX Engine Port!
Currently in the process of getting the IDGames archive version updated too.
I do cool stuff with pixels!
Here is a sampling of my Virtual Creations.
A lean, green, buxom fishperson with long parted hair standing in a green wireframe world while wearing red glasses, earrings, and a tight red satin blouse, along with form-fitting black satin trousers, greets the visitor to their website with a smile and a wave of their hand, their other hand resting on their hip and their tail lifted. The text says: "The Green Herring: Art, Games and More! This site is intended for users 18 or over! Welcome to my domain, where you can find my artwork, games, music and more. What would you like to see today?"
A showcase of high-density ANSI art and pixelart. It includes "Circus of Dreams", a long ANSI art comic/tapestry depicting a circus which won 3rd at Deadline 2024; a tapestry depicting Sparkster from "Rocket Knight Adventures" flying into space along with his portrait; a Sega Mega Drive/Gensis pixelart title screen of a furry mage in a field; a full-screen Game Boy portrait; and various high-detail and high-resolution ANSI art images that include a trans kangaroo woman relaxing happily at the beach, fennec/red panda streamer RachelRetro leaping through the air carrying a Twitch Verified symbol, and a mohawked punk skunk in a jumpsuit carrying a pogo stick in a forest of giant mushrooms.
Various lower-resolution ANSI art images with such images as: a farmer pig playing the banjo while sitting on the rusted remains of a robot; an alien explorer and their drone observing the ruins of a domed city; Krampus marching through the countryside at night drawn with colored outlines; a polar bear dancing to a boombox in the arctic while another stares in confusion; alien creatures on an alien world by a river of bubbling acid; two clasping hands against a black background with trans pride nail polish; an otter in an underwater cyberspace environment swimming away from a gigantic computer displaying FTP messages; a raccoon lady in a wetsuit surfing through cyberspace; and the same raccoon surfing a detailed wave in the ocean.
A screenshot of The Green Herring's ZZT game "Cyber Purge" running in ClassicZoo, showcasing our nonbinary hero's fox head avatar facing down the fascist villain's avatar on the title screen, beckoning the villain to take them on.
Hello, new followers/visitors! I'm a digital artist in old mediums esp. #ANSIArt and #PixelArt, and an #IndieGameDev on itch.io! Some of my art's for mature audiences only; check your mod settings to hide/show it as you prefer. And if you want just my art posts, this feed is for you! Enjoy!
A screenshot of Doom (1993). Almost all wall textures in the screenshot have some degree of scaling.
Added wall texture scaling to EE. Last I tackled this was 2019 and I got stuck on masked midtextures at the time.
This time I did masked midtextures first and once I had that figured out everything fell into place.
Conceptual Birdbath is out! It's a virtual boxset of 100 "new old" tracks spanning essentially my entire music career, all polished up specifically for this release, and it's full of bangers, IMO.

I am also helping to create the FPS/RTS hybrid Doom 2 mod, ZDoom Wars 2, whose official account is @zdoomwars2.bsky.social
how is anyone supposed to get work done dude. that's live. that's earth, right now, right this minute, and in an hour they are gonna splash in the sea. too in awe to think about where we'd be if this is what we funneled our tax dollars to instead of bombs that make gas prices quintuple overnight
I became ✨inspired✨ to make a new version of the status bar face for Super Wolfenstein 3D!
If you're curious, the background and textures are all things that can be found in LKTex as well. They also happen to be part of a small gift map I had made. Can find more info on that map here:

Skin - GoogonWoah Description - Gift Skin I made for Aquasa as part of the GSquad set. Aquasa's favored skin in ye olde (well not that olde) days was the quadguy from Complex Doom, so that was the primary source of inspiration for the skin. The secondary source was, well, agua. Water. It also fits smoothly into Aquasa's motif since he moves like water. Just watch his speedruns for proof. Skin - GafasoHey Description - Gift Skin I made for Hozen as part of the GSquad set. An abstract creature inspired by the early CG creatures in Hell2Pay, which were enemies Hozen was pretty fond of from that wad. Also glasses, which is a loose reference to Hozen putting glasses on various of his characters and avatars. This creature was made almost entirely in UDB. A living 2.5D being!! Skin - SphelloWow Description - Gift Skin I made for Playe as part of the GSquad set. Playe likes Nuclear Throne, and more specifically, he likes Y.V. from Nuclear Throne. Therefore I decided to design a chibi character that seemed like one that'd fit into that universe. Meet Sphellowow the arcane mathemagician who is also a sphere(!)
Was gonna describe em' each and their reason for being here but uh, char limit, so I'm going to do the cheap thing and crop a shot of the included textfile:
Released LKTex V2.9.8 today, and, LKClassesV13, a small glorified skin pack. The fellas depicted below are 3 gift skins I made for my friends @frozenhozen.bsky.social, @playe.bsky.social, and Aquasa. They got Jan birthdays, and I'm 2 months late goddamnit.

Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: I want to clarify some things and I apologize ahead of time if this sounds rude. It's still work in the progress but since people seem to have complaints about allowing AI in SAMMI. AI has always been a thing in SAMMIs source code itself. SAMMI is a tool that allows the users to do whatever they want with it. The change the previous DEV Team made about forbidding AI art will be reverted, but there will be the necessity to let people know if you use AI art. I also will revert some other changes like the extension policy. Why am I doing this? It's easy, because every person should be able to decide on their own if they want to use AI or not as well as if they want to support AI. If you can not respect this decission, it's ok. Everyone can have their own oppinion about this and if your oppinion is different, feel free to no longer support or use SAMMI.
Chrizz, now the sole developer of SAMMI, saying: since things are getting way more out of hand now, please read this and if you don't wanna use SAMMI when it allows AI and uses AI in the source code, please leave the server instead of getting rude in the lobby
If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.
The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.
Something’s coming...
