Someone, somewhere has a embedded Windows 95 OS controller in a factory that had no upgrade path options due to the vendor no longer being in business and being unable to afford anything beyond maintenance of the existing machines. You have no idea who is going to come out the woodwork but you almost certainly just saved a few million jobs globally with this project.

The fact that MattKC can revolutionize windows 95 backporting like this, creating something that will make similar projects indescribably easier and still have less than 1 million subscribers is insane to me.

    Not just for the lulz though. This man had made it his life work to completely disassemble and rebuild Lego Island the game and this backporting aids his mission.

    This is the kind of thing I step back and take a look at myself and go, “yep, that’s what I find interesting”. I don’t know where the style originated, but this reminds me of Coffeezilla’s style and pacing.
