Partying like it’s 1999.

sometimes you forget just how sick technology can be

It’s a rush of nostalgia for me because my first experiences with the worldwide web was via the dreamcast.
oh man, i remember browsing gamefaqs on my dreamcast for walkthroughs of RE: Code Veronica. that felt like the future
Same! I also remember getting save files for my vmu off the internet and that felt like magic.
You motherfucker, give me that Dreamcast.
It’s flycast and it’s easy to use!
Aww I thought I could steal a real one for a second

OK where is the hexbear screenshot?
Sadly you really can’t go on the modern web with the dc browser, here’s some sites that work.
Heaven’s Gate website working is really funny, guess it hasn’t been modified since the Dreamcast released
What about https://diethex.net/ does that work? It’s supposed to be a pretty light load.
Nope didn’t work, at least not on browser 2.0

7·6 days agoI really want to add a no-TLS version so you can try and connect via that. Reading theory on the Dreamcast lmao. But eep.
Edit: I wonder if the browser has http/1.1

I hope you’re not letting your seaman starve to death
Leonard Nimoy is gonna be disappointed
I gotta fire that game up and see if I can use my microphone with it via flycast.

Sail on, O ship of state
