D'oh! I just spent the last hour recreating-from-vague-memory some SjASMPlus code to create a self-running .tap file …which is included as an example file with the assembler anyway. Oh well. It was fun and we've all learned something along the way. #z80 #asm #BASIC #RTFM #journey #destination #yolo

🤬 @!#?@!

Get this watched, it's a good one. Someone made a comedy qwop death stranding, and Jim made a video, and everyone was good at what they were making, you'll like this.

New toys! 🎶🔉 A quick demonstration of @samcoupe.com’s new SAA1099P sound interface card. You’re listening to Arcane Zone Part 2 by Yerzmyey. (I’ve just hacked a BASIC wrapper around Bórik’s player routine; any jitters or stutters are my fault! As is the gonzo camera work). #zxSpectrum #chipChoon

Oh you know, just brushing up on my British Standard logic symbols. (I’ve never seen these before).

Have you ever wanted to load arbitrary Microdrive files using machine code, but Sinclair’s hook codes let you down? Well: want no longer and behold: SHADOWLOAD! #zxSpectrum #microdrive #interface1 #asm #z80

I’ve been writing detective comics for a long time now, so I know when a close up magician has been pushed into a canal.

Demosceners... please link my good pal hitch your demoscene artwork and give him a big thumbs up to use it for his streams please. In the age of AI slop, let's promote art made by humans!

Worst Lemmings walkthrough ever

Cyberpunk 1977

Well it amuses me anyway 😄 These graphics get transmitted as a bunch of nonsense characters on a hidden page to teach a TV new characters that weren't in the teletext specification. This is also how the high resolution Bluesky logo works.

Happy last washing day before the darkness consumes us all 🖤

www.twitch.tv/whathosnorkers I am wearing a hat and a beard and have dangly epaulettes. You know what that means. It's Chickamauga Time!

the obvious explanation for this is that until at least 1260 BC, the people of the outer hebrides lived for several hundred years and that their heads were interchangeable, much like lego figurines. the real mysteries are when they lost these abilities and how we can help them get them back

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

(1/2) Who remembers when you could walk into a high street shop and buy a soundchip? 😆 I make a range of sound related hardware for #retrocomputing For the #SAMCoupe: www.samcoupe.com SID Soundchip Interface Quazar Surround soundcard #retrogaming #8bit #chiptune #demoscene #synthesizer #indiedev

The BASIC on the SAM is very powerful which made it very easy to get started with simple game development. For example in the games in the earlier video both Colony and Conquest were written in BASIC. Conquest is one of my favourite SAM games, I became hooked when adding extra sound for the author.

I'm really digging Quazar's 35th anniversary Sonic x Shadow editions! 🦔 🌀 ⚫ 👠 #getEmQuick #gottaGoFast

Here's my copy of "This is for Everyone", next to my late grandma's 1930s copy of "Enquire Inside", a knock-off of "Enquire Within Upon Everything" - the Victorian encyclopedia after which @timbl named his precursor system to the WWW. (My grandma lived long enough to be fascinated by the Web.)

🚨Website Update! www.samcoupe.com September 2025 News Update with my latest #SAMCoupe releases. Quickshop... 35 Years of SAM Limited Edition Hardware... Quazar Surround Standard Edition... SAM Revival 9 revamp... The Lower Caverns... SAA1099P Soundchip Interface (SAM sound on other platforms)...

What I have working on Spectrum Next. 🤔Hmm... I think this might just be running a bit too slow, but at least I gave it a try.

This is Dr. Frasier Crane wishing you good MENTAL HELL!!

done a video about wipeout 2097 being the last good video game www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNhm...

Happy Star Trek Day, everyone. Check out this very funny video I found. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNHB...

Reviews first, then chores. We have a deadline to keep, you know!

Brill! 😍

It's a little over a month to go until #ChunkyFringe2025 at Harrow Arts Centre, which means it's time to think about refreshing the content on ChunkyText again. If you have a podcast/twitch channel/internet radio show/used owl showroom you'd like to promote via the medium of teletext get in touch!

There's still time to book your place at the forthcoming RC2014 event at The National Museum of Computing. It's a chance to meet other RC2014 builders and users, or to learn about RC2014 and similar systems before deciding to buy and build your first one. www.tnmoc.org/events/2025/...

A wee bit of music I wrote for a racing prototype, which didn't get used. Abridged here so you get the flavour of the full track. I would love to work on a full soundtrack with this kind of vibe!

FUZZWEED IS COOL

Have you ever wanted to try making a plasma effect using Spectrum Next's "Layer 3" tilemap mode but don't know how plasma effects are done or how tilemaps work? Well don't ask me, but I did manage to cobble this together. 😎✌️🌊 #demoscene #zxSpectrumNext #z80n

After a couple of well received issues of our free #ZXSpectrum magazine @breakspace.bsky.social, work is well underway for our 3rd issue, which will cover games released 1 July - 31 September 2025. We would welcome any feedback or fun letters to our letters page: [email protected] Cheers!

This was an absolute treat last year so I'm planning to go again. (Saturday ticket booked—hopefully travel plans will coalesce shortly!)

I also looked at 90 porn sites for this reason

Just removed the date label from an old book and discovered that someone has drawn a design for a teapot that can serve either tea or poison how's your day going?

Honestly just shut up and listen to us.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
