    I always have both an appreciation and judge people who do things like this.

    I appreciate it because it’s neat that people are willing to go the distance for the fun of it. People who limit themselves to specific tech or libraries. People who code for old tech like those who make brand new “retro” games, or code for Pico-8.

    Then the judgement comes in. Just… Jackie chan why.

    I still appreciate the dedication!

      The guy’s laptop broke shortly after he got his deck, so it was more an act of desperation than a willing choice.
