Picked a precon at random and thankfully opp scooped... we both spent at least 5 turns just in a stand off passing hoping for a lucky draw... bloody creatures your opponent controls enter tapped and whenever a creature enters you gain a life sucked. Thank goodness for fog wall... it did the lifting.

Listening to a playlist on random and this came on... strangely thought of you @iamcodeninja.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9xY... 🤔

I finally got around to giving "Predator: Badlands" a go... didn't expect much but overall enjoyed it.

I don't trust AI searches and need to go through and check myself but strangely "feels" about right @mrjamesob.bsky.social ##

Not sure if genuine or not but this is some (misguided) dedication to gaming www.pcgamer.com/hardware/i-d...

"[...] are risks for the future" - this is why we're where we're at and are pretty much fucked...

Woohoo... just about survived another orbit of the sun... 21 again, again, again... 🎉 Treating myself to a bacon and egg baguette and then have a full day of writing documentation (I'm so rock'n'roll in how I celebrate!)

Could you do me a favour & share this video pls? Trying to see something... I know lots of people are experiencing lower YT views, but I want to see if boosting external links/shares makes a difference. Plus, if you like old vs new T2 games. Pls have a watch :) youtu.be/VdrwjWOJyFM?...

This is f'ing insane... I'd like to have got there one day, but what with life stuff and now age, and osteo stuff, and too much muscle memory in my fingers thinking QWERTY for a long time, never going to happen, but bloody impressed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=35VE...

Calling all #ZXSpectrum fans! To celebrate my latest game, "Full Spectrum Defence" going off to the publisher, both my previous games, "S.C.I.O.N" and "Knightmare", are now FREE to download from sausagewaregames.itch.io Enjoy! #8bit #retrogames #indiedev #retro

@willmcgugan.bsky.social I'm blaming you for why my brain had to take a slightly longer moment than it should have. 🤣 Hope you're well 🤞

You've spent 179.99... except I didn't and unless the new year hangover is really that bad... don't remember being in Ireland making the payment... Contact bank, report fraud, get a new card just in case, blah blah blah

Any of my techy circle have experience/recommendations for distributing an android app? It's for a current customer to use and share among his friends for the platform I built him. It needs to be as simple to install as possible (ideally as easy as the playstore). Bit 🤔what I should be looking at...

Tonight! I look at #ZXSpectrum games released in 2025. I look at #MasterSystem games released in 2025. And Wobbly Wilf goes on his annual pub crawl. Join me on twitch at 8pm GMT!

Quite a busy 8 bit year for me. In January I did Sparx 2, a very simple update on an original. June saw my first proper Master System game in the form of Black Hole RX, based on a ZX80 type in I had previously discovered. And of course most recent is Roojliek for the ZX and SMS

no https on @breakintoprogram.co.uk ? 🤔

So onto remembering how to use blender and no doubt failing to make anything like a decent robin model... I blame @saucerbrain.bsky.social and @jimblimey.com 😜

@oldschoolbooks.bsky.social not sure it's worth the litre of water it likely consumed but I actually quite like it (I think) :p

@davidleavitt.bsky.social The egotrip isn't stopping... wtf. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🤔

Just installed SC2 as fancied a quick game and haven't played it in absolute yonks. Thought I'd possibly try and go from what levels were left in the Wings of Liberty campaign. Apparently I've already completed the entire campaign on hard. Worryingly - I don't f*ing remember doing that. 🤔😟

If you've not played this you're missing out. Get it now folks!

Has anyone considered that if this silly suing the BBC actually finds any Floridians that watched it, they'd have had to use a VPN to circumvent iPlayer's geo-restrictions and then before being able to watch anything confirm they have a valid TV licence. Surely that'd disqualify them anyway? 🤔

Huh, what? 🤔 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@bhaalspawn.bsky.social not having played Doom in ages and not as young as I once was... my not so quick as it once was mind has finally clicked on "idspispopd" - it was the f*ing cheat code for no clipping... at least that's one niggling thing at the back of my head I can put to rest 🤣🤦‍♂️

🧵 THANK YOU!! WOW! We hit our initial fundraising goal of $314,159.26 🌠 We're bursting with joy and hope- & we're not done yet! Thanks to you, we’re rolling out two new goals: 400k (stretch) 512k (super stretchy!) Can you help us hit our super stretchy goal? Read on ⬇️ #PythonForEveryone

I enjoyed this: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... - I can imagine it being a true story too often...

Fairly sure I'm not the only one who had to do a quick double take seeing this headline... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If anyone needs a #python #django #postgresql etc... developer of 20 odd years - I'm available for some work... (reposts appreciated ♥️)

Hello! I'm hosting a new funny history podcast/radio series for children and families, and it's coming very soon on the BBC! Great writers, great performers, great producers, and me arguing with Ramesses the great... what's not to love?

"There was a problem when processing your request. Please contact the service desk and quote reference 11323959564233488032" - okay... that's not a particularly useful API response... 🤬

Who wants to help me hit 50k? 👀 youtube.com/Amazonian

Sunday night plug of my released #ZXSpectrum and #segamastersystem games jimblimey.itch.io

Metric Tip xkcd.com/3164/

Ummm. Probably me but has anyone else when they've opened the Android bluesky app from the phone home screen just had it keep opening on a post you replied to weeks ago instead of the following tab it use to? 🤔

@spice8rack.bsky.social I've been working my way through a rewatch of Babylon 5 recently and had to do a double take when Marcus came onto the scene... I can't help but feeling if I see you in a card game video anytime soon I'm going to be "you've not got time for that - get back out into space!"

Contemplating a pet project writing a 3D version of a game based on one of my favourite Speccy games - Nifty Lifty (which @jimblimey.com loves too.😋). Might be fun or something... had it sketched out for a while now - just the time to do it and all that.

... and digital IDs are going to solve this how... 🤔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm not going to check its maths at this time of night but AI clearly doesn't know how unlucky the last couple of months have been....

That moment when you go shopping for the weekend and forget to put your wallet in your pocket. Thankfully it's only a few minutes walk and the staff were kind enough to save the transaction and keep the bags behind the counter for me to go back and pay. Great service but bloody embarrassing. 🤷‍♂️

Up earlier for Saturday than I'd like. Fixing a DB server with some weird replication settings someone set that wasn't me that's making things err, weird - trying to work out rollbacking. Oh well. Put some random paylist on and forgot I really love this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTA2...

Got really excited my 5G (although in a lousy area) backup mobile dongle was getting better from the mid 20mbps until I realised I wasn't connected to it and now my fiber is performing crap. 🤷‍♂️

So the woman that got fined £150 for pouring a bit of coffee down a gutter has had that fine rescinded. I love the quote from the council: ""We are committed to protecting Richmond's waterways and keeping our borough's streets clean and safe." - I hope someone reminded them about Thames Water 🤔

A question for #ZXSpectrum users who have classic Kempston interfaces made way back when and a Master System controller: If you do the 10 PRINT IN 31;:GO TO 10 program, does pressing 1 show 16 and 2 show 32 on screen? My modern ones do register both buttons, am curious if its the same of original?

Ugh... not sure what's happened here... might not be eating this weekend lol October can f* off - it didn't start great and it's definitely trying to find new and weird ways of screwing things...

Umm... strangely captivating and what a way to earn a few pennies side hustling while you work... 🤔😂 www.twitch.tv/chloe__irl

OooooOaLoo)

Very interesting read for #retrocomputing fans www.bbc.com/future/artic...
