Cannot CHECK PHONE in combat. Cannot CHECK PHONE in combat. Cannot CHECK PHONE in combat. Cannot CHECK PHONE in combat. Cannot CHECK PHONE in combat. You were killed by DARK WIZARD!

Love this visualization of the 6502 instruction set. May you JMP for joy as you digest this ;) #retrocomputing #coding

Poking through a box of #amiga software I was given. Some I hadn’t heard of, dunno if any are rare. I couldn’t find an IPF of Paris Dakar, and no images of the Micro educational software at all.

Was looking for a service manual for one of my tape decks and found this incredible website. walkman.land It rules that hyper niche, unique looking, single purpose sites still exist in this web hell.

Choosing your hero in Roguecraft DX is a small ritual 🕯️ - Three heroes rotating like it's 1989 - Tentacles writhing just out of reach - Whoever you pick, the dungeon is waiting Demo's live if you fancy a delve, or wishlist 👇 thalamus.link/roguecraft #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart

Hello all, looking for advice from game makers. I have a simple little card game that I’ve printed some prototypes of. It is testing very well! What’s the best way for me to get this in front of publishers? Danke!

Belfast contacts - can anyone recommend a tattoo shop (looking for color, not just b/w)?Preferably women-owned/run and/or LBGTQ friendly.

And in other news, your favorite restaurant, bar, and bookstore are all closing, but investors have given Skamz Inc a billion dollars to develop an AI trash can that calls the cops if your garbage is too woke.

I basically have to watch it now. I don't make the rules.

If that kid in Flight of the Navigator just let NASA experiment on him we'd be living in a post-scarcity utopia by now.

For when you were desperate to play anything like DOOM on Commodore Amiga in 1995, there was GLOOM. (Plus a handful of others, including the best DOOM-clone on 'miggy then: Alien Breed 3D)

My video just passed 10K views, which is way more than I typically get 😮 Thanks for watching and sharing! ❤️

CDs don’t make you listen to 10 minutes of gambling ads before playing 3 songs.

No apologies for sending this out a few times over the next week. Our son is looking for a year in industry/placement as part of his Software Engineering degree in Southampton. He's in line for a First, very capable and good at digging into problems. However roles are rare right now. Can you help?

the endgame of llms is just going to be a (pretty good) code autocomplete/bugcheck/linter that runs on your 5090, which is a pretty funny thing to spend like 9 trillion dollars on

There's a lovely Studio Profile about Size Five Games in the latest EDGE magazine, with lots of concept art and stuff. Well worth a trip to the newsagent.

I recently got a Pinetime smartwatch for a ridiculously cheap price. It uses open-source software and is packed full of features for the inexpensive cost. I recommend it if you are looking for a sub-£40 smartwatch.

Many thanks to Tim for wanting to talk to me about my upcoming ZX Spectrum Next game “Space Pizza” I have a WIP website too: spacepizza.co.uk

Roy Jay finally represented on Klipy.

This is a fucking Megadrive 👀

Finally home. 250 miles driven today, plus ferry that was delayed because they couldn’t get the sea doors to close properly. I left about 10:30am and it’s now after 11:30pm but I’m not sure which day.

This does raise the point that putting a notification on a website no longer constitutes a public notice now that search engines and social media firms have stopped directing people to websites. We are back in the days of Beware of the Leopard.

Finally it's my moment to shine

I felt a great disturbance in The Sports.

It's time for a new GAME OF THE MONTH! This month we bring you the excellent 8-bit racer, HERO GP, from @egvroom.bsky.social and @thalamusdigital.bsky.social. Find out more in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGlq9x3nxLk Or read the blog: https://evercade.co.uk/game-of-the-month-hero-gp/

One of my biggest heartbreaks is my existence started going to crap right at the point I would have had a video game with an all timer soundtrack if life had been kinder. I‘m glad Thalamus have helped it see the light of day, it is so bloody good.

Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

So, here are my thoughts on porting Murtop from Godot 3 to 4: - I used the "project upgrade tool" and it did a pretty good job overall. - I had to rewrite all the code related to Tweens. I miss the Tween node. It goes on... 👇🧵 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgodot

My favourite game I’ve ever made is absolutely Cave Dave \o/ thalamusdigital.itch.io/cave-dave-ga...

We can hardly believe we get to type this: Roguecraft DX launches on Steam September 10th ❤️ What started as a little Amiga Assembly side project is finally making its way to the big stage. Thank you to everyone who wishlisted, played the demo, and cheered us on. #wishlistwednesday

The Incident at Galley House is out, with art done by yours truly ❤️ I had a great time working with the team on another game, and I really hope you give it a go 🕹️ #gamedev #indiegamedev #gameart

TONIGHT 8pm BST at twitch.tv/NAG_Graham - my penultimate look at #Amiga games from the year 1995. We've still got a few higher-profile games to check out as well as an obscurity or two - despite the smaller number of games that came out this year we've not been short of interesting stuff.

One more push on these before I head to Brighton… the nice round number is in sight people, wishlists and retweets appreciated.

GB Studio time. Had to make a few changes because the scene was using over 400 tiles. This space station might be a bit too spacious...😅

It’s a collaboration video between CRG Glen and myself. This one is pretty cool. Glen is a very talented man. Also, this video features ‘Big Red’. 😈 #amiga Amiga 500 Drive LED ACTIVITY from INTERNAL IDE https://youtu.be/ADgXrG_V6Dg
