OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

"Which is your favorite/definitive version of the original Prince of Persia?" 💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports. www.jordanmechner.com/en/latest-ne...

Yay my @futurewas8bit.bsky.social order has shipped!! Greg Div to match my plus2 and Penultimate to power up my new-to-me VIC-20!

Me at 7PM: Time to try a game on my PS3 for the first time! [Pops in Destiny] PS3 at 9:15 PM: still updating

A trans woman invented the CPU in your phone Multiple trans women have worked on your browser, your operating system, and likely the foundations this app you’re reading this one There have been trans rabbis and priests We are part of society at all levels, we always have been We aren’t a threat

We're back! Remembered that I wanted to play through a delightful little point-and-click, The Legend of Kyrandia from 1992, so that's on tap for today. Join me at 12:00pm EDT to see what it's all about! twitch.tvladyailuros

it's the back-to-school pumpkin spice special 🍂🎃 THE APPLE II AGE audio book is currently 50% off! pls share with all my haters www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

"Turns out Tyler Robinson may have owned a smartphone whose main CPU was derived from an ARM processor, a series of RISC processors whose instruction set can be traced back to the ARM-1, orginally designed by a trans woman. So clearly we can understand his ideology."

I like this game!

The AmiGameJam 2025: Return of the Arcade is currently running. Two and half months remain to make an #arcade game for #Amiga, and the winner gets their game built into a full-size cabinet shown in some of America's top arcades 🤯 itch.io/jam/amigamejam #RetroGaming #RetroDev #Commodore #GameJam

Behold: the 18650 Battery Bandolier!!!! I have limited PwrTop 18s left and will be offering them with a battery at Maker Faire on a donation basis.

No, it's not weird at all. Sports are segregated by gender in large part because men hate losing to women. The segregation isn't to make it "fair" to women, it's to keep whiny man-babys from having to lose to women. bsky.app/profile/enga...

Check your backups, go remove the batteries from stored electronics, go contact that someone you’ve been thinking of lately and go chase up that weird thing your body has been doing lately.

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver (大往生DX-ﾚｺver.-) was preserved by Yuuku! Only sold on December 30, 2007, this is a score competition variant of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX. Given how it was only available for one day, this may be one of the rarest i-mode games preserved so far.

It's Tuesday again, and I'm ready with another DJ stream from a marginally tidier "studio" 🙃 Two hours of drum & bass starting at 21:00 CEST twitch.tv/lug00ber

At last, the final decal is on. Now to fix the insides and add some more @fuzzweed.co.uk inspired LEDs.

They used my papers so if you have those you should check.

I've sent my top man for the job

Sooooo my vintage-computer-themed band (with Action Retro and The Taylor and Amy Show) just put out our first record. We're called "The Stop Bits" and the EP is called "Return From Interrupt." It happens to be Bandcamp Friday. It happens to be $5. thestopbits.bandcamp.com/album/return...

We’re currently working on bringing Roguecraft to a wide selection of retro platforms, and also to modern ones, like Steam… …which you can wishlist here, and make our day even brighter! store.steampowered.com/app/3674680/... #roguelike #amiga #gamedev #indiegamedev #steam

Well, RIP my 8580 SID. Got my C64c out of storage and almost nothing makes sound anymore. Has anyone ever fit a SIDKick Pico in a 250469 short board? I'm worried that it might be too tall and run into the keyboard.

A new challenger appears! 🤣

@retrorewindca.bsky.social 🎉 We are turning 5! What started as a hobby has grown into 5 amazing years. To celebrate, we’re giving you 15% off —for one day only! 🗓 Sept 2, 2025 🏷 Code: HBDAY5 Thanks for being part of this journey. Here’s to many more years! 💾 #RetroComputing #Commodore #TRS80

Had a great day at the @visitthecave.bsky.social met some lovely folk, even @morefunmakingit.bsky.social Didn’t take many photos, but here is one of me playing 1942 on an Amiga

Unexpected acquisition this week: an Atari XEGS! The last gasp of the 8bit Atari line. Its quirky but actually kinda cute and its slowly growing on me. Some testing and chiptunes tonite. No dead keys, either, which is kinda astounding

Re-introducing the mini-coax cable for Sega Saturn with an all-new, more durable, more robust Mini DIN 10 connector housing.

Holy cluck - it’s here! Today is the official release of Roguecraft DX on @evercade.co.uk What better way to celebrate than slipping on your #Evercade socks and jumping straight into the adventure, feet first? We’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen! 🕹❤️

you shouldn't just purge transphobes from power because it's the right thing to do you should purge transphobes from power because transphobia is the single greatest indicator of incompetence and mediocrity in modern society.

Anyone know what happened to the rubber chickens ?

Two days! 😃

My origin story was included in an appendix at the back which was not printed in the paperback editions due to cost cutting. It is therefore left as an exercise for the reader in most cases

I managed to buy a laptop with a copilot key not realizing that it can't be set to act as the ctrl key, and all workarounds ignore the fact that the hardware actually sends "win+shift+f23", taking over the shift button and making shift+ctrl+arrow key selection impossible. Well. NO. MORE. COPILOT.

Latest project is to jazz up a #ZXSpectrum +2. I bought a job lot of Spectrums many years ago and sold off the ones I restored and had a few left that had been used as donors. It's time to get those that are left and out from under the bench and see what I can do with them. Starting with a +2 Grey.

I'll see your Kung Fu Flash coaster and raise you some mouse mats

What Danielle said. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2% Let me put that another way. President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

If you can fund seven years of development, your game will take seven years to develop. That's it, nothing else.

It’s out there now. #evoke

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

unlike you, I only get my news from reputable sources

You know why CDC has blast-proof windows? A response to the Oklahoma city bombing, in 1995. That's how long the American right wing has been mass-killing federal workers. The bombing followed the Gingrich Revolution of 1994, when hatred of government workers rushed into the political mainstream.

Psst... hey kid, you wanna make a DOS game? I'm hosting a DOS(ember) Game Jam! All details are at the attached link. Please feel free to join in – no experience necessary!

Had this mixer for five years, tonight I discovered that the volume control goes to 11

This should get WIDE circulation: MIT stating that it “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.” gizmodo.com/mit-backs-aw...

Remembering my Twitter suspension (pre-X) for suggesting that someone "go jump off a cliff". If I go poof from here, well, you can find me over on the fediverse where (at least some) people have more sense.
