Happy 32nd birthday to the Super Shotgun, the weapon that would redefine weapon balance for scores of FPS games for untold years ever since.

(a snippet from my blog article on Prime Target: netizen.club/~wildweasel/... )
This Shotgun represents MacSoft playing at dethroning God. Every dev and their dogs knew, back in 1996, just how legendary the Doom 2 Super Shotgun was, and almost everybody sought its throne, Prime Target being no exception. Ironically, they bump into the same exact problem the SSG had, in that the shotgun is effectively the only Good Gun in all of Prime Target, and they KNOW this, which is why they practically bury you in shotgun shells while every other gun in the game gets to starve. But a lot like the Super Shotgun, its power is reliant entirely on how good you are at Shotgun Jousting, or charging straight towards somebody and blasting them point-blank before they can get a hit in. If you miss, or get an unlucky damage roll that doesn't erase the man in front of you, it's gonna hurt. [Video still of the shotgun from Prime Target, firing] 10 feet: The pellets are now cotton candy.

In this week's Dev Update, read about Chapter 4 of Michael Gernes' Harness and the mechanics considerations behind the (non-diegetic) creation of the L-Trak!

Dev Update: Precipice (10/8/2026) — Wild Plum Games
Chapter 4 of Harness brings the (first part) of the story to a dramatic close! Plus, the genesis of the L-Trak, a machine seemingly created to make Arbelos pilot trainees suffer.

so coolboarders2 doesnt store the boot file the same as popn cds (using boot = id;1 vs boot=id1;) so complexicity increase a bit, also a quicker check for correct file, im sure ill find many more weird edge cases later
game_id= boot_file=$(isoinfo -R -i /dev/sr1 -x '/SYSTEM.CNF;1' -ignore-error | xxd -s 0x0 -l 0x10000 -p - | xxd -r -p | tr -d '\0' | head -n 1) echo ${boot_file} if [[ ${boot_file:0:4} != "BOOT" ]]; then countdown; break; fi game_id=${boot_file: -14: 11}

it only gets worse, it becomes obvious that im very used to making scripts by hand but very unknowledgable at actually coding good really quickly
game_id=$(isoinfo -R -i /dev/sr0 -x '/SYSTEM.CNF;1' -ignore-error | xxd -s 0xE -l 0xB -p - | xxd -r -p | tr -d '\0') check1=1; check2=1 # echo ${game_id:4:1}${game_id:8:1} if [[ "${game_id:4:1}" == "_" ]]; then check1=0; fi if [[ "${game_id:8:1}" == "." ]]; then check2=0; fi if [[ $(($((${check1} + ${check2})) / 2)) == 1 ]]; then sleep 5; break; fi if [[ "${game_id}" == "" ]]; then sleep 5; break; fi label="$(blkid -o value -s LABEL /dev/sr0)" # echo ${label}; if [[ "${label}" == "" ]]; then label="${game_id:0:4}-${game_id:5:3}${game_id:9:2}"; fi if [[ "${label}" == "-" ]]; then sleep 5; break; fi removal_target="nothing" # echo $label

i have created a very very very stupid way to check

if no drive or improper drive is detected it will just loop

it may be stupid but it works
game_id=$(isoinfo -R -i /dev/sr0 -x '/SYSTEM.CNF;1' -ignore-error | xxd -s 0xE -l 0xB -p - | xxd -r -p | tr -d '\0') check1=1; check2=1 if [[ "${game_id:4:1}" == "_" ]]; then check1=0; fi if [[ "${game_id:8:1}" == "." ]]; then check2=0; fi if [[ ! ${check1}${check2} ]]; then break; fi echo ${game_id}; label="$(blkid -o value -s LABEL /dev/sr0)" echo ${label}; if [[ "${label}" == "" ]]; then echo "no label is provided using game id"; label="${game_id:0:4}-${game_id:5:3}${game_id:9:2}"; fi removal_target="nothing" echo ${label};

First post, Jr Dev!
Vengo del mundo de los negocios, la logística y la atención al cliente, pero hoy mi cabeza está metida en bases de datos, APIs y Node.js, cursando la carrera de Analista de Sistemas. Estoy convencido de que los mejores productos tecnológicos se hacen entendiendo primero el dolor del negocio. Y como la mejor forma de aprender es tirándose al agua, esta semana me sumé al #Hacktoberfest. ¡Ya tengo mis dos primeros Pull Requests en revisión para un proyecto Open Source! Más allá de sumar código, la verdadera ganancia estuvo en enfrentarme al flujo de trabajo real de un equipo de desarrollo: Corregir ramas "contaminadas" para aislar el código y asegurar envíos limpios. Resolver conflictos de rutas y directorios que rompían la integración continua (CI). Lidiar con bots de validación estrictos que te graban a fuego la regla de oro: "un PR = una sola tarea". Hoy arranco oficialmente la búsqueda de mi primera experiencia IT (como Backend Developer o en roles híbridos como RevOps). Voy a estar compartiendo por acá mis aprendizajes, proyectos y todo lo que me sirva en este camino. Si estás en la misma, o si tenés algún consejo para un perfil Junior que viene del rubro de operaciones... ¡conecto con todos en los comentarios! 👇 # PrimerEmpleoIT #BackendDeveloper #NodeJS #RevOps #Hacktoberfest #OpenSource #BuildInPublic
