It’s only took me 5+ months to try the SD2IEC+ & Fastload from TFW8B but It is sweet. Great to see the SD download image pretty much encompasses pretty every product they sell regardless of platform, it includes games/demos/apps too. First time playing C64 Chuckie Egg, a little easy but decent.

How it started, 18 over par on C64 leaderboard. (1st play) How it ended, 3 under par on C64 leaderboard. (2nd play) I play this so infrequently but it scratches an itch of me playing it back in the day. Such fun.

Yay, completed Junk Runner 64!

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

Life shouldn't be a competition, it should be a community activity. The people who treat it as a competition are the ones terrified of being picked off in old age by the young, like they did to their elders, that's why they burn the bridges and fight to take away people's rights and healthcare.

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation.

My first leave since the end of December. I’m not lying when I say these were smashed in the Majorcan sun, after a 11km coastal walk.

Update, a second person has been able to complete all 64 rooms of Emu's Massive Hunt, not once but twice, to get both endings. Well done .mad. www.lemon20.com/forum/viewto...

Im today years old, and I have learned to play Picross. A couple of false dawns prior to today, and my 52 year old eyes feel ready to fall out, even though I’ve got my specs on.

I’m not saying it’s windy in Alcudia today, but this chap could of ended up in Mablethorpe if he hit a big enough wave. 🌊 29 seconds in my wife insoles blew away and you can hear me saying “They’ve gone, leave them”

Look at this bullshit. This is what football supporters have been cowed into accepting in their game by television. Fuck off television. And every single vampire creep who is an apologist for this nonsense

New blog post - As requested, I have listed my joystick emulators on Tindie. blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2026/03/joys... These are simple test boards that emulate a standard 9 way D joystick using push buttons. Useful for testing or when you want a minimal interface without dangling wires.

Link for new podcast ep because Podbean Hijacked the previous one suggesting it as a 'share' link to me but all it does is suggest you first download its own TERRIBLE app. So go here. chinnyvision.podbean.com

Wifey is at the bar kicking off that the strawberry daiquiri’s tastes of lime. We are now getting PS Martini’s. I hope they don’t taste of Porn Stars. 🤩

The Game Boy Advance (2001) is now as old as the Fairchild Channel F (1976) was when the Game Boy Advance was released.

Luke has finally accepted his new bed is comfy enough. The sun is just hitting his fur too, so he’s toasty. #caturday #lukethecat

it’s almost like people don’t wanna read stuff that nobody could be bothered to write

For the first time the Plus 1 Mini expansion unit for the Acorn Electron is available through Tindie! To celebrate, there's 5% off everything in my Tindie store until the 22nd using code RAMTOP5. www.tindie.com/products/408...

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

Seconding this, which also applies to books, album covers, videogames, articles, blog posts, ads, comics, software. This is a non-exhaustive list

this cures what ails me every time

Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist. However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊

re @anthropic.com: I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

Look at that big ox!

An interesting walk around Lincoln today, it’s been a while since we walked up Steep Hill, to the castle and the Cathedral. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Cat cafe in real life, the patrons were busy fettling the feline clientele.

On the bright side maybe they’ll go back to making dumb TVs and take the internet back out of refrigerators 🤔

Well I’ve finally finished Fallout 4. This save started in November 2015 on my PS4, migrated to my PS4 Pro, and finally onto my PS5. The Institute story’s done. The railroad story’s next. #fallout4

Alt text won't kill you. It gives context. In this time of rampant misinformation, lies, fake content and a growing population that lacks critical thinking and research initiative, posting images with no ALT and no context is lazy and unhelpful. Be part of the solution online. It is that serious.

Someone help this guy complete the set!

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Oooo that new joystick suits you, sir. Do you like it? Oooo.

I’ve obviously pissed off Luke that much he’d rather enjoy the view of the sofa. #LuketheCat

Update from Channel 4:

Well, the Bone Temple has been watched, I’m sat in the cinema and the 28 days later tune is ringing out whilst the credits are running. Feck. It’s going to take some time to process. Lets hope the final one gets funded and gets released.

Completed my second game of the year. Nostalgia was strong with this one. Star Wars Lego II just reminds me of playing with my son on the GameCube and 360.
