Live in 5! www.twitch.tv/jimblimey

Have talked myself into a tippy tappy Toastie type in (maybe one day I'll talk myself into tidying my desk 😆)

I suppose I should ponder what I'm going to stream tonight, still not feeling it for a type in so maybe the letter E or something completely different.

shutdown -p now

Looks like I've aged 10 years since last Friday, but anyway lets do it!

New beer towel has arrived, figured this weekend's beer should match

Nature is healing, festive ales in my local Morrisons for the first time in a few years

Bah! Chocolate biscuit decided to wait a few second after dunking before breaking, landing choc side down on me

Still too pissing warm 😒

My Game Pass Ultimate expired today so I knocked it down to essential.. Not even No Man's Sky is included! And this is where my Series S lets me down as I do own it on disc, but no drive. So I'll have to buy digital to continue playing, also means I can completely fuck off Game Pass tho

After 6 years of streaming I've finally splashed out on a mic that doesnt cost less than a fiver 😆

youtu.be/pKfZ2BzddZ0 It's a 100% historically accurate look at the 100% historically accurate video game about early 17th century gunpowder-based shenanigans.

Some recent #NoMansSky locations

Letting the roguelike rest for a little, am starting to tinker with the third iteration of that space game I started back in 2019.. This one is a completely different beast though.

Urrgh Monday 😒

Bollocks

Hello there.

Finger just slipped on another beer towel, the problem is I've run out of 8 bit machines to cover them with.

This is how I'm going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

Last night's #ZXSpectrum nonsense on YouTube. Bomberman, Madhatter and Jungle Fever are the standouts for me. youtu.be/i7809p6YXh8

Tried to get up a little earlier today in preparation for tomorrow's 6:10 alarm - its going to hurt though!

Enjoyed tonight's stream, thanks everyone that came along - it was nice to be blessed with mostly decent games for a change. In regards to the couple of incompatibility issues we had I wonder if the +2B would be just as bad 😆

A decision is made, bring on the pain! #ZXSpectrum lucky dip - live in 5! www.twitch.tv/jimblimey

Bah! My USB SD reader is on its way out. Lasted longer than I thought though as it was like 80p from AliExpress.

Pumpkin Invasion - ZX Spectrum BASIC - available for FREE download - animatedal.itch.io/pumpkin-inva...

I know I mentioned a tippy tappy Toastie type in tonight, but I'm feeling more towards a lucky dip. We shall see later!

You make me feel like twitchin' #totp

Well, my half week off has come to an end, am happy to report I have done sweet bugger all 😁

A bundle by Quantum Sheep, £6.66 for 10 games itch.io/s/164964/cou...

Bugger, cant find my thick living room curtains. How am I supposed to pretend I'm not in now?

Wrote a tiny little "game" in Turbo Pascal, and ported it over to HiSoft.. A few tweaks to syntax to make it happy and yeah.. It didn't work :D

Tinkering with the HiSoft Pascal compiler, it hurts my face that there's line numbers!

The cat has taken up residency on my chair so thats this morning's plans down the bog.

Just rejigging prices and other variables to see how it plays. It seems to be coming along. I quite enjoy test playing it now at least...🤞

Poo

Cant really call it a midweek recharge when all I've done today is eat five custard doughnuts.

Going to have to dismantle the Toastrack again, the haunted M key is getting worse. Hopefully its just the rubber nipple sheet needing a proper clean 🤞🏻

Had cramp in my leg last night, am walking like an old man today.

Seems with this roguelike my usual mantra of "if it aint broke dont fix it" has gone out of the window, have just again rewritten room and corridor creation.

Thank fuck its Friday!

I honestly cant think of a better game when you need a little escapism #NoMansSky

It may not be very pretty, but FLTK is great for whipping out quick, uncomplicated GUI programs.

Short week this week 🕺🏻

Action shot from last night' stream 😆

Not quite a pint and certainly not on tap but a fine way to see out the weekend.

Feels so much later than it actually is - bonus to learn there's more of the weekend left than realised!

Old Peculier on tap klaxon!

Last night's #ZXSpectrum A to Z is up on the Tube! The letter D kicked up a real mixed bag - some utter arse alongside some really nice games. Doc the Destroyer is definitely something I'll be playing again! youtu.be/Y_snvaH8oao

Welcome back GMT! 🥳
