It’s a page of nonsense to print off and colour in to keep a child busy while you cook or for you to have some calm crayons time. Merry Christmas!

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

Very sad news. May your soul rest in peace, Ben. You will be remembered by all. www.bytedelight.com #ByteDelight

Games shouldn't cost $100. Games should in fact cost £2, come on a cassette tape, only run on a 20kg computer that you could only buy in Britain in the 1980s, and be made over the course of six months by two 19 year-olds known only as "The Whizzy Brothers".

even in this toxic hellscape of a year, we can still enjoy the original Christmas Nights website nights.sega.jp/nights1/cont...

Now *this* is Christmas

'Step into Christmas' by Elton John but all the lyrics are 'welcome to my christmas song'

Last minute Christmas present for yourself? You know they'll just send you socks otherwise. I've got two MicroBeast Z80 kits that can ship immediately. After that, further kits will be sent out after Christmas. feersumbeasts.com/shop.html

Okay, NOW it’s Christmas. 📖 🔜 📺

On The ZX Spectrum Christmas Eve giveaway newsletter primed and in the pipe! Wanna chance of winning a bundle of Fusion Retro Goodness, sign up using the link in my bio. Merry Christmas!

Honestly it's so easy to find real music made by real people that you can champion. Find a record label putting out music you like, find an artist on that label you enjoy, and then look at what bands are supporting them on tour and check out their music. It'll just keep spiralling from there.

Godfrikindamnit. That's been busting my balls. Commenting out one line at a time to get it from 'definitely should work but doesn't' to 'ah, cool works great, but I don't know why'. Anyhoo, tuning table needs a tweak, but that's full real-time 6 note polyphony.

HTML is for life, not just for Christmas. This year, give the gift of Open Web. https://vole.wtf/doctype/

WOOOOHOOOO!!! Success! I've added a soundblaster to a typewriter. Excuse the poor sound quality, I'm currently running it through a burglar alarm 😁

It's that time of year. Get you thinking Santa hats on an try to solve the 24 Christmas Picross puzzles in my free #C64 game Grid Pix Advent. thalamusdigital.itch.io/grid-pix-adv...

If you’re stuck for a Christmas gift for a computer nerd, I’m pretty sure they’ll prefer my magazine to another pair of socks or a Lynx gift set vole.wtf/doctype/ (Lulu currently seems pretty fast in UK but get orders in nowww to be safe)

They're nice reads.... and they have type-ins! Proper type-ins, like the Old Days!

My friend just sent me this t-shirt design and I need it so much.

After repairing a bunch of old oscilloscopes, I melted down the failed wax capacitors and made up scented candles.

A classic.

Check out my #swag ¹ and #pickups #haul from Retro Computer Festival 2025 (Gaming Edition) ¹ The real ² swag is the friends we made along the way of course. ✌️🥰 ² Freebies are good too though 😆

And the final scores of the weekend! A young chap by the name of Ben came along and just smashed all the highscores set by us old timers - except the astonishing Flagon Bird high score of 64 set by Nicholas @sharpworks.bsky.social Jr.

Did I mention I’m an elite top tier pro gamer? #ZX81 #Won #OneGo

What can I say? Still got it. #HiScore #Winner #Badge #690 #Dragon

SEGA Rally? Completed it, mate.

Well it’s not quite as good as @whathosnorkers.bsky.social with a Big Red Arrow but I think I’m headed this a-way ➡️➡️➡️

Good morning! I smell #retro #games in the air …

I’m heading Down South for the Retro Computer Festival in Cambridge. 🚂 👾

Wonderful

Progress on the Phillips SAA 1099 soundchip. Wrote a minute loop that will be expanded to a full song. The 6 channels on this thing are awesome. Having two noise channels is really handy for percussion. I'm learning as I go so I'm still exploring the possibilities. #retrocomputing

herb alpert and the tijuana brass concert video no. 2: the best keyboard part in the world? (sound on)

I remember reading INPUT magazine back in the 80s, typing in programmes. And now that idea is back but for little web things! I am rather chuffed to have been invited to be part of this, DOCTYPE. It's a little bit of joy, which is what I think the web ought to be in the business of helping create.

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

The “Inktober for ZX Spectrum” challenge inspired lots of great, inventive and witty pixel art. Best enjoyed on the real thing of course; next-best is CRT Retro’s Beyond Nostalgia writeup with their customarily gorgeous Trinitron photography:

Can't beat those Computapes!

Lots of extensible fun for ZX Spectrum here, opening up the world of RC2014 add-ons too.
