Blimey. Even retro streetlights are on the up. Mint NOS I'll grant you, but that's quite spicy imo.

Nice aliens created us by accident in a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong. Being nice, they lacked the capacity to cull us all and instead sent us into space to offer us at least a chance of survival. Nice aliens are currently under investigation by the GEPA on charges of pollution and biocide.

I bet itโ€™s going to turn out that we were the space jockeys all along. I bet Earth isnโ€™t really the original Earth, it was probably terraformed after the original became Xenomorph Prime.

Lots of different people make things. Thing making merges for reasons. Thing brand becomes independant of thing. Big Thingโ„ข sells different Thingsยฎ but actual thing is homogenous crap. New craft industry in traditionally made things springs up. GOTO 10

Just blowing the dust off my 128 midi sequencer, see if it still works before next year's retrofest. This was my mammoth last BASIC project before I got dragged into the lightning fast mnemonic world of assembly. Simple octave bass using the auto note repeat in the pattern builder. ZX+2 and a TG300

How can it be f***ing compressed if it takes 3.30 to upload HALF a 1:47 video. And theres nothing wrong with my Internet bro. I thought you fixed this? @bsky.app

#LogLoads64 Bubble Bobble It is my birthday today, so I looked back through my EXCEL SPREADSHEET and noticed I hadn't actually LL64'd the original BB for the #C64. Also, because it is today, I wanted to focus on my favourite game of all time and it is: Bubble Bobble. This is a sublime conversion. โค๏ธ

#C64 #Commodore64 community: have any links to some cool programs I can type old school style into & save for my Commodore? Had some books in the 80s and can probably find them but figure there might be some better ones nowadaysโ€ฆthanks everyone!!

I'm sorry planet. I'm sorry original content creators. I'm sorry haters and naysayers. But Claude *can* fix Linux permission denied problems that are so fucking non-nonsensical that the replies come with more acronyms than actual English words.

A USBSID-Pico v1.5c I hand-soldered went to a friend at my local C64 club. He sent me this video showing real SID sound over USB, and he loves it! Pre-order run is funded (10/10), still open until Oct 31st. smallrun.net/shop/loud/us... #C64 #SID #chiptunes

The Table is Not The Limit - Busting the supposed "380 sprite" limit of the #NeoGeo Presented in demoscene style This is captured from real hardware and no extra hardware accelerating. I'll release it as a download to try on your flashcart soon.

Ruined my beautiful soldering (I wished I'd spent a bit more time putting, for example, R1 next to R2) but I have sound to the TV. For reasons beyond my understanding it's a complicated 3way mix of ear in, beep out and save out and I probably need to boost the total level, but for now it works.

The A1SupaSmooth. With a confident name like that, I'm thinking some 4th order filters and massive power caps in there. Oh.

All the unsold fresh milk at the supermarket gets taken back to the dairy after 2 days to be used for, I dunno, other stuff. My jub was opening the cartons and pouring them into a big stainless steel bath. 1000s of them.

This post is unavailable.

It would have been a switch off and bare it job except the bath is pumped out at the same rate you fill it so after a 10 hour graveyard shift there is no evidence that you've done anything at all. Never fills right up, never empties. The most soulless unending task ever devised. Byeeeeee.

๐Ÿ”Š NUMBER 1199 TO THE MANAGERS OFFICE. IMMEDIATELY. Please Sir, one more chance? I swear it'll never happen again. I got mouths to feed, and another wee bairn on the way. Long leg posative. Long leg posative. You see guv'nor I do know. I can't explain what must have come over me.

Anyhoo, this was sold working and refurbished but at a reduced price due to it having a broken 'I' key. Right up my street on both counts I thought.

Aww, it's soooo cute. I didn't think I had any space left, thus had made a solemn vow not to get anything else. But accidents happen and at only 1x2โ…“ cornershop beers im sure it'll squeeze in somewhere.

Well chuffed. Found the backwards transistor with my new old signal generator just like Mend it Mark does ๐Ÿ˜Ž BT loading now working, and thankfully for all, audio out isn't yet.

Oh yeah, by the way - three of my good old Unreal Engine assets are on SALE now, discount -70%. And, by "old" I mean those assets are made in UE4, and work properly in UE4 (4.27). Screenshots, videos will be here in thread in replies. Link: www.fab.com/sellers/Thun...

One worthy find that did come from this tho is tzxtools. I've previously spent hours trying to clean broken cassettes up in audacity with mixed results. But the auto cleanup in tzxtools is bloody phenomenal. Record wav. Wav to tzx. Play tzx back to tape. Clean recording in 5 minutes.

That was not worth getting the crt out for.

#HotWheels FlockWheels - HotWheels Scanner Very well might be seeing it's public release next week. -Talked myself out of unnecessary features. -Localized language (uses whatever your phone is set to) *Just have to create a demo version and basic marketing nonsense.

I wonder how many meetings, public consultations and oversight committees it took before they agreed on the final order of the alphabet.

How about honest AI. Thank you for your query. I will be able to reliably help you with 15% of that. Here, here and here is the source material I will be using. The fuel and fluids charge will be ยฃ18,673.56. Would you like to continue?

After a bit of hunting down of sloppy soldering, I haven't broken the core spider functionality, which is nice. But I think I'm gonna have to relent and put the switchmode regulator in. Technically we are in spec still, but I'm likely to hurt myself.

Last night's CPC round up. Tapper: Bad. The one thing you need in this game is precise control. Vendetta: Bad. Janky isometric adventure. TechnoCop: Bad. Great picture but it crashed as soon as I hit enter. Wacky Darts: Very good. Classic guide the wobbly hand game. Really enjoyed it.
