The whole clip was cool but goddamn don’t let anyone get away without giving you props on that smooth as hell build in animation when a character starts speaking. Smoother than the unlock animation on my phone!

Here is a video that was posted 12 years ago and until just now, it had *zero* views. It’s a fast car going through the mud. youtu.be/L7XQkhL4kGM?...

There’s millions of videos hiding under the algorithm that one has ever watched and you can resurface them at stratatube.com

I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment! If you ever want to find “new” content from that era, I built Stratatube.com exactly for that purpose. Never recommended, many with 0 views, and no metadata to hit a search on. Exhibit A: youtu.be/EIETOs3R26A?...

This question is going to expose just how little I play video games but at the risk of losing credibility I never had 😀..

If there is no combat, what exactly is the main game mechanic?

Game looks beautiful, I’ve always loved the isometric view.

Just FYI: singing from the rooftops about the evils of AI doesn’t make the rest of us blind to the obvious side-effects of using AI presenting themselves in your demonstration/code posts. 😉

✨ Framing
I thought a primary motivator would be preservation of discovered videos with cultural or sentimental value. Users say thats an afterthought and they just like "the hunt"

Stratatube - Exposing the layers beneath the algorithm Discover hidden YouTube videos through pattern-based searching. A tool for exploring YouTube more deliberately, beyond rankings and recommendations.

stratatube.com is 15 days old. What have I learned in two weeks?

✅ Gamification + abstraction of search
The slot machine is the primary way people find videos, by a mile.

❌ Zero-result tolerance
When a search returns nothing, users leave and come back later. Dopamine addiction.

I started learning programming in 1997. Qbasic for DOS. I was 10.

I just recently (over the last year) began posting about what I’m working on. I’m 39.

You’re *fine* my dude.

Wrote a Windows Mobile 6 assistant that updates Outlook entities via POOM (Pocket Outlook Object Model) - which I didn’t know existed this time yesterday.

I just expanded the Stratatube pattern library to 288 patterns, adding 200+ new entries spanning older cameras, phones, editors, game capture, VR uploads,...

I just expanded the Stratatube pattern library to 288 patterns, adding 200+ new entries spanning older cameras, phones, editors, game capture, VR uploads, and school projects. This improves discovery of forgotten and zero view videos across more eras and devices. stratatube.com

I’ve been quietly working on a side project called Stratatube and it’s finally live. It’s a way to discover videos the algorithm never recommends using patterns instead of rankings. Lots of forgotten uploads. Weird, sentimental, human stuff.
If that sounds fun, it’s here: stratatube.com

Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water, but it’s not too bad at least it isn’t when compared to what it feels like to be hanging around a bunch of game devs acting like you belong when you have to admit you don’t know wtf Hollow Knights is.

That’s exactly how we got our nickname! Someone from NYC said we were “A scruffy little city on the banks of the TN river with more bars than churches” or something. “Scruffy City” ever since (we were also the last profitable worlds fair).

As a resident of Knoxville, Tennessee who had this show up in their feed because of the city name - can we borrow him for an election or two?

Hi @trezy.codes I hate that this has to be our first interaction, but is it possible that it's down again?

Simulant: The portable game engine Simulant: The portable game engine

www.simulant.dev/licensing/
According to their licensing section it affects - just for building with it - what and how I can then license/distribute my project - I don’t see any stipulation about if I make changes to the engine itself- indeed it reads quite the opposite. Am I misunderstanding?

GF64 / GenesisFan64 Archive - Puzzul-Tetris-Random : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive It was announced on March 24th 2025 that the homebrew developer/porter GenesisFan64 who was also known as GF64 had passed away.Link to the announcement...

To ensure gf64's legacy will live on I have archived his projects that were only given by Dropbox. If you have any that are not included please let me know and I will add them. For Nikona I didn't include that but linked his GitHub page - archive.org/details/gf64...

Sounds like you and I had very similar experiences and thus my disbelief you declared it the tool of choice for your stream. You’ve definitely made it interesting. Best of luck!
