Very good material, but the page design is awful to the point of being distracting (and now I know why I kept telling myself "I'll read through this again, later, when I can concentrate more and do the excellent source material justice.")

The "Retronator Magazine" banner at the top and the nag banner at the bottom take up too much of the vertical space and combine with the width of the text column to make my viewport essentially square. Add to this the ultra-wide 1920+ pixel images that run past the edges of my screen (and are three times as wide as the text), and it should be obvious why I felt I was reading an excellent article through a toilet paper tube.

Firefox and Chromium at 1920x1080, and sorry I couldn't do this article justice.




You can always select top and bottom bars and add display:none and/or enter full screen mode. Anyway, don't give up, for me it was one of the most interesting reads this month. The author did a great job in exemplifying all projections with the retro games.


On my screen everything static on the page fades away when you scroll, leaving just text and the admittedly very many images.

Half the stuff on the front page of HN these days are medium posts, they all look the same
