How to become King.

"Bertoleoni is the proclaimed ruling family of the styled "Kingdom of Tavolara" (Sardinia, Italy), which claimed to be "the smallest kingdom of the world". [..] Currently, the supposed kingdom is a tourist attraction for the 57 or so native inhabitants of the island, [..] Giuseppe Bertoleoni informed that during a hunting trip, Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, verbally appointed him "king of Tavolara" in 1836. "

Here's how I edit screenshots of the 80*25-character VGA text mode to simulate the CRT look:
1) Take a screenshot of DOSBox. (It has square pixels and no extra pixel column between the 8*16-pixel characters.)
2) Add 1 black column to the right side of each character. (VGA does this in some text modes.)
3) Double the width and the height. Use nearest neighbour interpolation.
4) Make every 2nd pixel row of the characters lighter and the rest darker. This simulates the gaps between the horizontal sweeps of the electron beam.
5) Aspect ratio correction: Resize the width to 20/27 of the original. Keep the original height. Use linear interpolation. The ratio comes from (4/3)/((80*9)/(25*16)) where 4/3 is the aspect ratio of old screens and (80*9)/(25*16) is the aspect ratio of the image with square pixels.

I picked up Granblue Fantasy: ReLink and it might have the best tutorial boss ever. Within 10 minutes of starting the game, you're fighting goddamn Bahamut with a full party as it actively tries to crash your airship. Every story encounter after this is even bigger and better, too!

I only vaguely knew about this game beforehand! More people should be talking about this!

STM32 Tutorial #62 - STM Mystery MCU - final solution
We have done a few videos about the mysterious non-existing STM32F402 MCU (Chinese market only MCU). In an earlier video we speculated that it was in FACT a STM32F401. Having received our STM32World STM32F402 development board, we finally get to put this theory to the test! Watch the video to learn the secrets of this MCU.
