Trivia time: What links one of the best Amiga MODs of all time to the game "Control" ? Answer: Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen, keyboardist, producer, composer and all-round DUDE whose MODs rocked the scene in the early 90s and still rocking the world in Poets of the Fall!

Been listening to some MODs thanks to @jikissgamer.bsky.social posting an old favourite... Dug out an old CD and found a song by some of @judgedrokk.bsky.social 's former group members :)

I fancied porting a bit of old x86 ASM to z80 to get a rudimentary 'starfield' going. Went looking for a nice easy IDE and found one called KliveIDE by the same guy that made SpectNetIDE. Nice and easy to work with! It's still in early alpha, but it's good . github.com/Dotneteer/kl...

Pay VERY close attention to the sender's address when you get what appears to be a legitimate password management request. In this instance the sender is not "Microsoft", but R N icrosoft, the R & N close together look like a lowercase 'm' at first glance.

Ho Ho.. Sh*t's getting real in Alice: Madness Returns.... I love this guy!

OK, well, now I know I can run the EA App under Steam, it's time to play some Alice: Madness Returns. I'm told this is better than the original, which I really enjoyed!

There's something about this table top strategy game that's really drawing me in.. for some reason I really want to play it.... I think it's possibly because the box looks like a PC game. But the contents look great too... The weird thing is I'm not a ttrpg player really, only D&D.

Hilariously, the devs of Lutris have locked the threads that would let anyone tell them that there's a problem unless they're a "contributor"... So, trying to run the EA App is still broken... I have found a hacky workaround though, so I'll document in this thread in case anyone cares:

srsly? That was where your mind went when you needed to make a mnemonic? My friend, I think you need to talk to someone...

newsthump.com/2025/10/15/i... Proper journalism.

"Like, what are they even looking at?" Scientists believe some stone heads on a neighbouring island were having a noisy barbeque, and the Rapa Nui heads had come out to "see what all the palaver is about"

I hate updating bioses... And insyde can get in the bin with their windows-only updater apps... But I swear this process is slow-walking the last forty percent just to panic me

Gen AI might still be in its infancy, but you can still have a laugh with it.. No, sorry, not WITH.... the other one... AT, yeah, you can laugh AT it.

Monday? What? I did not sign off on this? Who is to blame for this?

Mrow?

Write a horror story in 3 words:

Reminds me of how Steam now stars-out the word "niggle" because too many people were assuming it was related to the N-word. So now people pointing out small harmless-but-irritating issues look like they're calling the game a swear word 🙄

I just did some maths and worked out that over two years, Amazon has gone from saving me>£300 py on groceries to saving only ~ £100 in 2025. Given I pay a shade under that for the prime sub, I see no reason to continue using them. I just cancelled everything from them. Going to Morrisons instead.

This video is eviscerating. I know from my experience, after playing AC2, I started AC3 and realised I was just playing the same formula wearing a different coat, so quit. I've not bothered to play an AC since. Is the world is coming to the same conclusion? youtu.be/-lhsgKxIc3U?...

Will they ever make adverts this good again? www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyuD...

I thought, for shits and giggles, I'd take a fun little ZX Spectrum BASIC type-in that produces a vibrant Kaleidoscope effect, and convert it to Assembly, a fun little project. In the end, I had to put a delay in to slow it down. It runs 1,000x faster than the original BASIC :)

So impressive.... odysee.com/@Best-ZXSpec...

Well the high winds tonight bring both pros and cons. On the downside we have no power again.. but on the upside all of the stupid flags put up by the fash are being ripped off. Lol. The universe truly does work in mysterious ways.

I wasn't convinced by the idea of the Vectrex mini, but having seen it over the weekend, I'm starting to warm to the idea. That there may be an open devkit and homebrew scene for it is, frankly, quite exciting. I'd be tempted to try to make something for it, given my pixel skills suck at sprites.

British food. Best in the world.

Amazing sunset... It's blowing a proper gale in Blackpool by tonight, the lampposts are swinging side to side like clattering metronomes.

It's only bleeding Jeff Minter!!! 🦙 🐑 🦬 🐴

New chiptune by Lukhash just dropped. It's a fun choon... would be perfect for a platformer or a menu screen... lukhash.bandcamp.com/track/pixel-...

Everyone dissing EA;

Somehow, Akka Arrh has less than 50 reviews on Steam. Take one scrapped Atari shooter, modernise it with Llamasoft design sensibilities, get a game that is super cool for anyone who appreciates arcade game design. It’s on sale for about £5 right now, so check it out and see if it tickles your fancy.

AOL has now ceased dial-up service as of September 30. Let us play the forgotten music...

Been listening to the K&D sessions third cd from the recent re-release of their album... It was a nice soft listen first time around, but each listen becomes more and more mellow... By this point it feels like I'm wearing a purple velvet suit, sitting on a velvet settee, sipping a warm Bailey's.

Playing "Ma Vie En Rogue" to ease back into the week... This is quite literally Rogue, but in First Person :) Slightly quirky, but relaxing so far. I've got a golfdish on a skateboard and I'm ready to kick butt. You can play it in *almost* classic top-down, or first person. A mix of both is good

Hail Rogues! We're in the process of moving our main social media presence over to this platform. In the meantime, check out Ma Vie en Rogue, out now for Early Access on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3015740/...

Great review of our Game Boy Color game D*Fuzed in issue 11 of @debugmag.com 4.5 out of 5 stars. Published by @incube8games.bsky.social #dfuzedgbc #gameboycolor #gameboy #gbc #dmg #homebrew

Advice from Sinclair User in 1984 on how to ensure you buy a good Cassette Player. It's all the more hilarious when you remember that TVs would have been HEAVY (unless it's a small portable). But you just rock up in a hi-fi store and set up your own TV and computer in the middle of the shop? :-)

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron. This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM. Links in thread. #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Watching a new (to me) doctor who over lunch with the kids. Animation style so so much better than the celestial Toymaker..

Well, okay then.... I think this should be heavy enough to keep them under control...

We all know the classic epilepsy warnings, but Ultima Underworld did something more, recommending that people suffering from claustrophobia steer clear of the game
