Incomers: the myth vs reality of refugees in the UK Britain hosts just 1% of the world’s refugees – far fewer than many nations – yet myths of handouts and 'overwhelm' still dominate debate By Jeremy Leslie-Spinks @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

ICYMI Now we know why 6 billion sea stars in the Pacific turned to slime, and, as one can surmise, it's likely that global warming and ocean heatwaves played a big role. If we kill the oceans, things will NOT go well for us.

Reform’s Russia connections may endanger our security – time for a public inquiry  | Martin Roche

And the prize for the most corrupt and easily bought politicians goes to..... Reform UK!!! With a further award for the most brazen lies and excessive promises.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

Litil Divil was a Gremlin title for PC, CDi and Amiga CD32, though there were plans for #AtariST, #SNES and SEGA #MegaDrive versions as well as others. Console editions went with a platformer style game - some rare SNES screens have been located. More at: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/liti...

David Cross folks.

Only one month until our #retro #arcade shooter Silver Bullet launches! We're excited for players to finally get their hands on the game and see what we've been cooking in our coding cauldron...

Wishlist Silver Bullet here on #Switch:

The latest GDP growth figures are out....and they can be interepreted in a lot of different ways due to revisions to the data. A classic headline you might see to day is 'growth slowed sharply' - this is obtained by looking at the 2025 Q1 growth of 0.7% and the Q2 2025 growth of 0.3%. 1/3

Just practicing PixelArt. Happy to hear advice or improvement tips. Done with beep8 constraints of low resolution and few colors. #PixelArt #beep8 #IndieGames #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #RetroPixel

PixelArt attempt for practice. Would love your feedback! Kept it within beep8’s limited colors. #PixelArt #IndieGames #IndieDev #GameDev #beep8 #IndieGame #RetroPixel

On World Rivers Day, the Labour government tell us what work they are doing to clean up our rivers, lakes and seas for good! (See all 6 posts)

This is an area I'm certain the far Right would refer to as a 'no go' area. I am a lone woman walking with my phone out and a laptop bag. The only no go thing is my bus, hence I am walking.

#Sharptember A chance find amongst a bunch of tapes I won in an auction turned up something pretty interesting, a compilation tape of games written by Col Needham (the inventor of IMDb) and possibly his master tape from which he sold his mail order games. Here's his game "UFO Attack".

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Brand new Spectrum game: The Fate of the Pirate, by Ariel Endaraues. Download: https://endaraues.itch.io/the-fate-of-the-pirate #zxspectrum #retrogaming

A few days ago, I coded a floating-point package for the CP1610 processor, and then I made a brand new BASIC interpreter for the Mattel Intellivision ECS because I wasn't satisfied with the speed of the original 🤪✌️ #retro #retrogaming #intellivision nanochess.org/ecs_basic.html

Today, I rewrote the league tables and results screens (and the setup for Lua tables) so that you can view fixtures and the tables across all divisions. Now you can follow other teams' journey up and down the leagues, as you make your own. Cup games are next, but the holiday comes first! #pico8

I'd love to help but not sure if I understand.. I don't recall making references to the 65c816. But you are right about the Oric and this video is for the 6502. Here's the OSDK link hope it helps! osdk.org/index.php?pa...

Programming in C for the Oric is possible thanks to OSDK! Here I ported a program from dflat (see elsewhere about this) to C. Despite my handle, I do like C - learnt it back in early 1989 on my Amiga A500. As we know, C is still used extensively today! youtu.be/wLsLQ_LsYGU

Calling women in games “woke” is the weakest take in gaming. Every new woman protagonist isn’t a threat to the medium. She is the medium growing, leveling up, becoming something bigger than the same old defaults. So if that makes games “woke”… Then please, wake us all the %$&# up 👀

Pong Wars simulation for Acorn Electron and BBC Micro/Master. This fun little project was inspired by pong-wars.koenvangilst.nl. After coding a prototype in BBC BASIC, I created this 6502 asm version. I hope you enjoy! github.com/0xC0DE6502/p...

Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time." Gandalf: "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien

In 1982, Electronic Arts was formed. Its early releases came in vinyl-style sleeves, with notes from the designer & they celebrated the people that made the games. EA is a completely different company now, and the private investment being rumoured means that original vision and the company is lost.

Boy, this EA buyout deal sounds worse and worse as details emerge! If you don't know what a leveraged buyout is, you can thank one for killing Toys 'R Us, because it bled them dry. My son cried when that store closed. We'll never see anything like it again. We won't cry for EA, though. They suck.

This is a must read article...no pay wall If you're not following, it's time to.

Thought I'd have a lie in so popped Classic FM on to relax. 8am headline news "Nigel Farage will be the next Prime Minister ..." fucksake IF there was GE tomorrow. But there isn't. Of course it's Labour conference so let's hype up the hyperbole. We are almost 4 years from a GE. It's ludicrous.

New blog! Mega Drive's Shadow Dancer saw Shinobi go to the dogs. But don't worry, this pooch is a very good boy indeed... gamesfromtheblackhole.wordpress.com/2025/09/28/s...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
