And yet, let us not forget that the Amiga had preemptive multitasking in 1985.

Project sounds interesting. The company website is profoundly strange. https://meanhamster.com/products The active products seem to be this and 3d printed pet sculptures from photos.

Clicking through and looking up on Wikipedia, Mean Hamster has been a niche game studio for decades (pocket pc, amiga, retro Atari cartridges). Also it’s now purely a family operation with all people who don’t have the same last name as the CEO marked as former team members.

Dude is in his 50s now, so maybe he’s working with his family on a cool project and living his best life, I like that interpretation.
