I quickly knocked up a bit of Jurl on the Super Cassette Vision using SCeVe, it's been fruitful because it's helped me find several issues in the parser - but i've got levels 1 and 2 running, including multi-layered sprites to add a bit of colour

WrestleMania Night 1 verdict: Very, very "meh". Only 86 minutes of wrestling on a 4 hour show. 30 mins for the main event. 15 mins for Rollins/Gunther. 45 mins total for the other 5 (FIVE) matches on the card, which included 2 Women's title matches.... Pathetic from TKO.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

One of my favourite tech avenues of late 80s and early 90s Japanese PCs is stuff that had a PC Engine built into it. The PC-KD863G is a fine example of the PC Engine-in-things: a standalone 15" monitor with a PCE built in that could be used as is for a super-sharp RGB image or with a Japanese PC.

Catching up on Wrestlemania Night 1. Quite a few empty seats.

Did you know that the number of people reading for pleasure has dropped precipitously in recent, down to as low as 16% in some studies? Why not start reversing that trend today with Issue 5 of our fabulous free ZX Spectrum gaming magazine? breakspace.itch.io/break-space-... #speccy #zine #retro

I will also say, the "staging area" at Piccadilly Station where the Britain First rent-a-mib mustered was a disgrace after they left. Empty cans of Stella, discarded flags, and all manner of debris (not to mention puddles of urine) everywhere. Cunts.

Between the Britain First wankers and the heavy police presence, the act of getting home from Manchester was a fucking nightmare. Get the bus at Piccadilly Gardens? Nope. Walk almost the entire way to the Apollo to the nearest open bus stop? Yeah.

Is robocop still number 1 ……well of course it is …..job done Have a nice weekend and why not treat yourself to something x youtube.com/watch?v=o_ig...

BkueSkys "vibe coded" backend managed to DoS itself causing the outage this week. Again, they DoS attacked themselves thanks to sloppy AI written code that is clearly not being properly tested before being pushed live.

Taito games seemed to get converted all over the place. Apart from these. And probably some others. But mainly these. Watch and see what they are! youtu.be/gXF2shzzcBI

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Already a very heavy police presence around Manchester City Centre ahead of the fash cunts coming to our city. I'm otherwise engaged, but I hope anyone at the counter demo makes the fash cunts feel really, really unwelcome. Manchester hates the Fash.

Good news, everyone! Bluesky is back just in time for the release of Break Space magazine Issue 5, covering all the latest ZX Spectrum software. We have 2 stunning games on the cover - Go Go Bunnygun and Sweet Fightin'+2 - and plenty more inside. Go get it. breakspace.itch.io/break-space-...

Starbucks introducing AI to "personalise" your coffee seems like an excellent time to remind you that what companies want to personalise with AI is the price you pay for what you buy.

A new AMOS video, and I’m *finally* looking at Hardware Sprites! 😅
Starting off with looking at getting the colours right and 32 colours on a 16 colour screen. More AMOS witchcraft. 😱
 Look out for some famous faces (and voices) in this one. 😎

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

DoS attack? Not buying it. The issues people are having (I've just had 2 posts say they were made but actually just vanish into the ether for example) feel more like broken APIs than a DoS attack.

Jesus... BlueSky is just so fucked today.

But Wes, we already have trans-inclusive spaces. The wards as they are currently. Once you make them "biological women only", any third space you create to be "trans-inclusive" is actually segregationist by definition. The people in power have forgotten the meaning of the word equality. It has /1

A Right Wing MP making up statistics to suit a narrative? Surely not?

I've seen BlueSky "engineers" denying that the problems are to do with the "vibe coding" they use... If you are so vehement in your denial that just makes me believe it is the A.I. slop code that is the issue even more.

I'm guessing BlueSky will blame the data centers they use for the latest outage. Because it's *NEVER" the vibe coded updates to the software platform. NEVER.

Very long piece by BBC news on immigrants pretending to be gay to secure right to remain. I have NEVER seen the BBC do such reporting on: Millionaire tax dodgers PPE profiteers Corporate tax dodging. Anyone

If you still haven't seen this yet, you really should. This new game for the 3DO is seriously impressive, even in it's current demo form.

I'm well educated. I have a Batchelors degree. I appreciate well made art. And I can't stop reading the trashy "Aliens" extended universe novels. High art? Pah! All I want is to be entertained, dammit!

Gravy a song: These are gravy, gravy, gravy, gravy nights, Oh yeah!

It has been mentioned that the information regarding Commodore locking down the C64U is "fake news". Well, here is a screengrab that has a verbatim quote from the most recent Commodore video

The Krafton-Subnautica 2 saga continues, as the PUBG publisher has now been removed as the underwater survival sequel's publisher on digital storefronts.

Is anyone near #Norwich #UK and able to do a wellness check on Damien Farnham? He was apparently contemplating suicide and has recently deleted his entire online presence and now seems to be unreachable.

Well, that's that for tonight's game.

To answer the question posed at the end of the article: The emulation only needs to be accurate enough to play the games. 100% accuracy is a noble aim, but "good enough" is enough.

Will they also be taking measures to ensure that more PE is available to the kids? And educating them about healthy eating and nutrition? Because if they don't, this is a purely performative gesture.

£8.76bn. Just for the UK market. And people still dismiss videogames as a "silly children's hobby". For perspective, the UK cinema box office was just £997m in 2025.

Start of a much needed week off. Work has been nonstop chaos since the start of Jan, and I was beginning to feel a bit burned out. Time for some proper R&R.

The new video is live! Terminus is an incredible new FPS for the 3DO. youtu.be/mmuDMYuJUy4

I love Minidisc and so should you. One of my favourite videos because I still have my two portables and can play 25 year old audio in perfect quality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAY9...
