That's sad that it is not called Buttpad 😞

That was a really cool stream. I’ve done some win32 programming ages ago when I was just starting off and haven’t touched any Windows programming since. I’ve written the code along with you on Windows XP and it was really fun coming back to that.

NICE

NICE

My god, this desktop looks so much like what my computer in 2002 looked like. Win2000 was my first Windows operating system. And OpenMPT was definitely on my desktop!!!

AAA!!

Hearing those steps......❤

Yes.. I've used window 2000 both the professional and server versions... An excellent os.. I regarded it much better than XP..

1:46:47 wht would conversion to ASCII be requiered? i thought asciii and unicode were backwards compatible

совершенно согласен с автором видео примерно с 2010-ого айтишечка пошла куда то не туда причём, нынешнее гавнищще полностью бесполезно, потому что тотально тормозит глючит падает забаговано, и я не понимаю зачем и кому нужно это гавнищще

was absolutly wörth watching

Very cool project

"NT doesnt actually mean anything"... whoop, lost your whole credibility right at the 1min28sec mark... in a ~3hr video, thats a great achievement I have to say

Perfect timing finding this. I’ve been going back to learn about developing for Windows operating systems from 1995-2000. I actually started my programming journey in earnest on Linux in the mid-2000s, and then later Mac OS X. So I missed out on a lot of this fun even though I was probably old enough. Sad, because I had the hardware and used Windows regularly! I agree a lot with what you said about how simple things were then and I am also unsure about some of the things we got in return from the tower of abstractions. I end up having to wade through terminology, idiosyncrasies, and other things hitched to frameworks and languages. And don’t even get me started on the Web. Windows programming back then… it was fine, actually. And the performance! Nothing has really changed fundamentally from the user’s POV except that things are slower and you have to pay monthly for software. It’s still event handling, resources, drawing boxes, etc. Everything is so heavy now. And buckle up everybody, forget your quad core multi-GHz machine; you’re going to need a whole data center of GPUs to run LLMs that generate approximate crap. I feel like I’m in the bad timeline. Thanks a lot for posting this and keeping it up! Hope to see another one someday. 🥤

ngl i wish this series was continued some day, or possibly even expanded on. it'd be really interesting/fun to see how a larger/more proper gui application would be grown using just w2k winapi :)

VC 6 is still my favorite today, and I still use it (with VisualAssist) if I don't need to build a 64 bit executable. It has that well thought out look and feel, and it feels... I guess the word is "robust".

The "visual" in the "visual studio" line of products, was because they allowed you to build applications using drag and drop and a graphical user interface. Something that delphi, visual basic, etc made a lot of use of and it was super trendy back in the 90's

Windows NT has a meaning, "N"ew "T"echnology, kids today... :)

I don't think the song was "ahead of its time", but instead, perfectly _on time_ . I mean, there was a lot of experimental stuff like that in the early 00s, when these machines (and songs) were new. Of course, the song also has _lasting appeal_ , because these are still real bangers. But being "ahead of its time" would mean that more stuff like this came after, and THAT just didn't happen.

Your crossovers are so smooth

Tres irresistiblement~!!! Your dedication and love are inspiring! I feel honoured to seek this song with you. Tsugaru is no moderate feat, and your dissection was simply pure elegance. I feel gratitude- thank you for sharing this star achievement with us. 😊🎇💝🕉️💕✨✨#火🔥

My boyfriend watches you in 2x speed

Wow, this was fun to watch!

Are u dead?

The more confusing question for me was: Abort, Retry, Fail? In DOS. Some programs of that era could even ask Abort, Retry, Fail, Ignore? And then you try to guess the difference between all these unclear choices.

Do it without holding the bar

You’re insane bro

Man, DDR needs a resurgence. My introduction to it was my friend Cherie introducing me to the (at the time) UK #2 when we went skiing in Milton Keynes (it was a _weird_ week) xD We spent more time playing DDR in the arcade than we did on the slope, and I honestly miss this game. I do own one metal T-series pad, but they don't make them any more, so I kinda wanna get a pair that can be bonded so my friends and I can play the twin-pad songs at parties and things. There are so many amazing songs in this game (Tsugaru, Waka Laka, Butterfly, A Geisha's Dream, not to mention all the user-created games). I wonder if DDR could be mashed up with Beat Sabre? Would need to be an AR game, so stuff overlaid on the cameras, but I'm pretty sure it could be really successful.

Tsugaru is one of the few songs fixed in newer DDR games starting with DDR X (currently as of September 2022 the latest game is DDR A3), here are some differences for those that don't know: 4:00: The 16th gallops here are now 12th note gallops to make more sense with the swing beat. Although the gallops at 4:38 are still 16ths since it's not on a swing beat. 4:20: This section got it's timing fixed in DDR X - present to properly quantize the notes to actual 12th notes, making Tsugaru much easier to PFC.

This is so satisfying to watch, it seems effortless. Great job!

Good job

Just became availabe for order again, and I bought one this time. Thanks for the review and loved seeing the Pocari Sweato on your desk.

The difference in load time is obviously also because of way less features in VC6, but it gets even worse when you open a real project. And it gets worse every VS iteration.

Windows NT 4 was the pinnacle of Windows UI design. Everything has been downhill since then, either by introducing new, bad UI design (like the ribbon) or by importing bad UI design imported from other platforms (web, mobile).

I think the ones that really push the hardware to its limits are the game engine developers. Look at the current games on Xbox series X. It's just amazing

Holy $hit this is tedious asf

great job! you even did more steps than necessary :)

noice!

🙂 excelente

Thanks a lot!!!

Lol Pocari Sweat, nice! 👍👍

7:00 Difference between immersive and simplified is the difference between the UX of Dead Space/Persona5 and a game for toddlers. With the former, there's a respect for the kinds of options presented to the player and you can just change what's relevant to the context at that time while the latter doesn't give you really any choice but to do what it tells you to much like a central authority in any society run by a corpo/govt co-op.
