#WinterSoCosy2026Feb Day 5: Retro
I would say these are definitely considered retro. And I decided to bring them to 2026 in my own style. I don't hate this. I might even get it printed to hang in our office.

I'm attempting to try out #Noctalia shell with #Niri. This is turning into a thing. Had to build the git version of #QuickShell because the one in the regular #pacman repository - which was pulled by the Noctalia installer - was built against the wrong version of #QT for Noctalia. The version was off by .0.1 but hey, every minor version matters.
And also, the computer in my living room has decided it doesn't wanna work either. So the Owlbear has that on their plate too!

Normally I'd say I'm going to need a lie down after this, but these little struggles arw weirdly cathartic for some reason.
I realised I have never posted about my favourite Pac-Man game??
Pac-Man VS for the GameCube!
It used GBA connectivity - the GBA player is playing standard Pac-Man and when a ghost catches him, that player becomes the new Pac-Man!
First one to hit the score target wins!

Spider Maze 2, un clone de Pacman avec des diamants et des araignées :)
I have #pacman checking for updates every time I log in with a terminal, but I wonder if there is a way for it to also check that the mirrors it is getting updates from are actually being actively updated.

Codex 앱을 활용해 한 시간 이내에 자가면역 관련 SNP 카탈로그를 생성한 사례와 Pac-Man 복제 게임까지 만든 것을 칭찬하는 응답 트윗입니다. Codex가 생물정보학 데이터 생성과 간단한 게임 제작에 모두 활용된 예시입니다.

OpenAI의 Codex 앱을 사용해 약 40년 전 플레이했던 Commodore 64 버전의 Pac-Man을 가장 충실하게 재현한 클론을 완성했다는 사례 공유. 이전 시도들이 항상 일부가 부족했으나 Codex가 정확하게 구현했고, 이를 독립 실행형 Mac 앱으로 패키징까지 해 배포한 점을 강조함.
De Arcade doorbraak van 1978
Stap binnen in de wereld waar videogames écht begonnen. In de jaren ’70 en ’80 vulden arcadehallen zich met geluid, licht en spanning — het tijdperk waarin klassiekers als Pong, Pac-Man en Donkey Kong een hele generatie gamers vormden.

Gamefinds: Pac-Man Forever
As I write this, I have paused a game of Pac-Man Forever, a freeware Pac-Man update/homage/clone by My Dude Studios available on itch.io, on Round 154. I have spent almost three straight hours of playing it. It's pretty good, but I've been tired of it for the last hour of it. Yet, it keeps going. It keeps going.
It helps to keep the game fr

This #review is an oddball. It was released as an upgrade kit for #Pacman but had less improvements than #MsPacman even though it came later: Pac-Man Plus:

Not long ago, my 12-year-old son and I started learning Python. He wrote a code that prints a Pac-Man image to the console in symbols. I tell him: can you create that in Unreal Engine material? He surprised me again. My little genius
