It's rather off-topic, but the linked blog is by the guy who made .kkrieger, the tiny first-person shooter (only 96kB) in the early 2000s. Though the website for it is now gone, as .theprodukkt doesn't exist anymore, apparently. Nice to see his other stuff, didn't think to look at the time.

I remember kkrieger being impressively small but also requiring insane compute :) it would render at like 0.1 fps on my poor machine. (Aligns with this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14415567)
This is actually fascinating. This led me to find that he works at RAD Game Tools and that Rad (who I know of because of the Bink video codec) is now owned by Epic Games. Well good for them. Everything about this is full nostalgia juice. Thank you for observing what you did because I see now he has a blog and stuff. Now I've got a new RSS feed.
