Anyone familiar with my channel knows that I'm fascinated by CEEFAX and routinely run the modern CEEFAX recreation someone created on the web. I'm about to start watching this video, which I'm hoping captures all the excitement of its initial rollout. youtu.be/cCZEHoolBCg

Every now’n’agint if it’s good enough I liketuh share what’s stuck in my head. youtu.be/6-G22jJdD9Q

@trusteft.bsky.social You'll be happy to know that today I found a Stilton, but I didn’t buy any yet because it ain’t exactly cheap. Still… ton. I mean Nevertheless… ton, I have my sights set on it, and it won’t be long. Expect a full report once I’ve got my hands on a wedge.

Repost with your first crush

A personal fave of @logrus.uk but another one I've yet to play.

Hey, a demo coming soon!

It’d be worth it to me to move back to Alaska just for the unfettered salmon fishing, if only I could get to a point where I’m good at cleaning and filleting fish myself, and not that bothered by it. But would dealing with salmon guts all day tarnish the lustre of my favorite food?

I just went to a 7-11 and my total was $7.11. I feel I should win some kind of prize

For those in need of a good video game news story.

Name your fav non-DC non-Marvel comic book movie.

It's hard to fault his list here. I've got all but Wunderling, Cathedral and Ninja Gaiden. youtu.be/7w70dgwkuEA

@golgo13.bsky.social Don't know much about this one, but it's the same devs as Galacticon, and the same publisher. Might be worth having a cup of coffee with. store.steampowered.com/app/597900/E...

You'll all be happy to know that of these three, I wound up choosing the Castlevania Advance Collection, which went on sale as I was in the throes of deliberation. But I've already got a pretty good Rally X conversion, the recent one, on my C64, and I can wait on the others to go on sale again.

So far only @trusteft.bsky.social has weighed in, and reluctantly so. All three are on sale, and I’m trying to solicit recommendations.

Mappy, Dragon Spirit or New Rally X?

I just cursed my way through an abject failure of the Switch version of Impossible Mission. My blood pressure is usually textbook, but I’m sure it was up there during the game. I don’t know how @golgo13.bsky.social does it.

Ultimate owners, get this network-playable C64 roguelike. I have an NIC+, so I can play as well, just as soon as I figure out how to set everything up. schema64.itch.io/rogue

Again today, only now it’s the Sprouts parking lot, Jack Jones, a plastic fork, and this stuff that was on clearance.

This lovely Saturday I’m organizing my Kung Fu Flash SD card and culling PAL-only titles when I should be contributing to society.

Sitting in the car, Whole Foods parking lot, eating Roquefort off the blade of a plastic knife, listening to Pet Sounds studio outtakes. It don't get much better.

Another visitor... Listen up, everybody but @golgo13.bsky.social. This could be great. We don't know yet. But there's one way to find out, isn't there? Get it, play it. This very day, in fact. I may come out of reviewtirement and post a vijdya meself. psytronik.itch.io/im3-c64

Minor footbust. Got a funeral day after tomorrow. Hopefully by then it’s even more minor.

Made this list a few months back. I should do a thing where I actively try to dethrone these by playing recommendations. Top 5 C64 Games 5. Zak McKracken 4. Dark Castle 3. Times of Lore 2. Pirates! 1. Bard’s Tale III

AI prompt: mock up a screenshot of how macOS might look if it'd been a straight evolution of the OS 9 paradigm with modern features. Result is disappointing, but it’d be great to bring back the old design language. Again, the iPhone is the worst thing that ever happened to the Mac. @maccy.me et al

@golgo13.bsky.social C'mon man! You need to get on the stick here. Get those text adventures over with so you can get back to the good stuff!

@golgo13.bsky.social My friend is at Tower records Tokyo. Having him pick up these.

A toddlin’ Princess Leia kisses the real Amidala. Happy Mother’s Day!

The greatest living American songwriter? To me at least.

@logrus.uk I haven't watched the video yet. But did you expect this particular thumbnail for a video about the SID? Worlds are colliding, friend. youtu.be/5bZKlIbSB_c

I called it!! Now I want one. checkout.commodore.net/product-page...

How has this not already been hearted by every human alive?

A game that's made worse by voice acting. This one is also loses some of its charm in VGA. And with the Roland MT-32. Stick with Amiga or Atari ST or EGA / Adlib or Tandy graphics and sound.

@golgoru.bsky.social When you planning to stream the next three games again?

Every now and again, I’ll inadvertently whip up something that’s actually tasty, and my greatest dilemma is which celebratory dance to do after sampling the first bite. Today’s was hands behind head with quick pelvic thrust punctuated by a falsetto PEW!

@jasesdesouza.bsky.social You seen Night of the Hunter yet?

Because everything tends toward monopoly and every boom undergoes a culling, will data center surplus soon be what war surplus was to our mid-century ancestors? The steel drum was first fashioned out of discarded US military oil drums. Maybe we'll see a glut of cheap Steam Machines or something.

@golgo13.bsky.social This seems to suffer from that thing that plagued Amiga devs where they would digitize a sound effect that's cute the first time you hear it, then play it throughout the game so much you wanna gouge your ears out. Still, could be fun. I can't emulate the Jag youtu.be/cZdkj5rBVXA

Last night I saw these two live. Didn't know they were in town or even touring, and a friend called to say they had an extra ticket. Loads of fun and laughter, and the time flew right by! International treasures, both.

What I want in life is a streaming radio station, not a YT video or Spotify playlist, but a streaming radio station that plays Adlib or Soundblaster style DOS music. Don’t nobody can seemta hook me up.

Ha! I thought I knew all their material, but I'd never seen this one.

@logrus.uk For tomorrow, when you're more awake. A number of nice tweaks for the anniversary. youtu.be/RnTlJeai7wk
