Like most people, I'm putting together a low-poly post apocalyptic submarine simulator in Godot at the moment. #godot #indiedev

Michael Reed @rhydermike.bsky.social spent 27 years without a diagnosis for his #Non24. For sighted people with Non-24, misdiagnosis is the norm. We need better awareness for easier diagnosis and support. www.boredpanda.com/non-24-hour-...

Did I give my video a clickbaity title for the sake of promoting clickage? Absolutely. Am I ashamed? Not nearly as much as I ought to be. youtu.be/InzC7fFaSRY

In her darkened hovel, the crazy, DOS-using woman threw the magical dice onto the table in the vain hope that they would help her to divine her sound card base address as she cackled, alone. Outside, a woman pulled her child closer as they passed by. Oh wait, inspired by the symbols on the dice?

You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts (or Acorns in this case).

The Morrissey lyric we didn't know we needed.

Hey! Thanks for the repost, Naomi. This is the disorder I've had for 33 years, and getting a diagnosis was a long, difficult journey.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

The irony is that today is also International E-Waste Day. Wonder how much this will contribute to the pile.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

With the current Steam sale, the game I worked on is practically free. But hey, if you don't have it and it seems like something you'd like, be one of the first three to hit me up in the DMs while it's still on sale and I'll gift it to you. store.steampowered.com/app/1362780/...

In memoriam...

Doesn't look different, but a decent rewrite has prepared me for the next stage, which is the map itself stays central, but when zoomed/panned the grid lines alter etc. Need to add position labels to the grid ticks... Think Powermonger or Zarch :-)

Deus Ex Remastered? Well. Is it REALLY Deus Ex, if a guard doesn't give up his search for you after two minutes, then announce 'Maybe it was just a homeless guy" before standing next to the corpse of his friend, whom you just murdered in front of him.

Send him list of applicants and the code to remove his node from the list.

I’m feeling the same as Iain and I think it’s singing we should be able to talk about, as terrifying as I find it.

Hi to all my new followers! I’m writing a 3D games engine for the Spectrum Next. Currently working on filled polygon clipping, hence all the posts about triangles. It’s mostly in assembler, with functions easily callable from C in z88dk. The post below shows you where I’m up to on that.

The days of spending most of your time on individual websites are long gone gone. I haven't signed a guestbook (or seen an 'under construction' sign) in years.

Get a Pentium 4 PC. With the heat it puts out, alongside the massive fan it needs, it can probably handle most of those tasks, given a bit of extra ducting.

No work today, think I might just pick a random local location with a train station and go nose at charity shops

EGA graphics at some of their loveliest. Skillfully using the limited palette to strike a certain mood and aesthetic. 💜💙 📺: Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon, Sierra On-Line/Two Guys from Andromeda, 1989 (DOS PC)

These are probably the greatest things ive ever drawn #pixelart #art #pixel #space

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Earthbound on 130 inch screen 🤯

one thing I really liked about Superman is that there wasn’t a single scene where it seemed like they made David Corenswet stop drinking water for days so his biceps would be extra veiny or whatever

Just shown my youngest this (20) and he thought it was cool. He’d not seen a video tape before. Going to dig out the VCR at some point.

Rescue on Fractalus! Helmet. 42 years ago I got to be in an #ILM shoot for the box and manual of my soon to be released #LucasfilmGames Atari 800 game, #RescueOnFractalus On the cover I’m the running pilot about to be rescued, those are also my hands/knees in the cockpit. #retrogaming #spaceship

HA!!! Never in the field of human YouTube was so much care taken for such a shameful credential. Though for my part, to be honored by such an endeavor is truly humbling! Flash it next time you try to buy alcohol and record the reaction...

A sensible Government would have ensured that a secure, official channel would have been set up to verify ages before introducing this legislation. Of course, we all know that sensible Governments are basically non-existent, so....

Happy 40th Birthday to the Commodore Amiga! It was packed with advanced custom graphics and audio ICs by the amazing Jay Miner. Jay worked alonside Robert Mical and Dale Luck on the Amiga hardware which became the MUST HAVE computer that year. I still can't believe the Amiga is 40 years old today!

I'm gonna assume this has probably been brought up before, But really, who can get enough of the invigorating and lush tropical beauty of the beach from Monkey Island? #Amiga #DOS #retro #MonkeyIsland

"All stations green... all systems green... what a beautiful sight." "This is Fleet Command... Stand by release control... The Mothership has cleared the scaffold... we are away." Still one of the most glorious opening sequences to a game. 📺: Homeworld, Relic Entertainment, 1999.

Smile If You Love Lemmings 💜

July ‘91: Exile on the cover, awarded CF’s second highest ever score in a surprise Gary Penn review. Park Patrol on the tape: commodoreformatarchive.com/issue-review...

Plus, line of sight for the AI, procedurally generated game world and much more.

Hang on, that would mean that I'M old. That can't be right...

You never see Bond put the talc bottle down the front of his boxers and give it a squeeze at the sides before shaking her Majesty's properties. You should, given some of the regions he visits. This is the return to realism we need to demand from Amazon.

Indeed. From Wikipedia: "United States military intelligence officials have identified the F-91W as a watch that terrorists use in constructing time bombs." It's THAT good. Mine certainly ended up with the back off and in bits. Perhaps I was a terrorist without even realising.

I'm getting a Pentium 4 cooler and strapping it to my forehead. I'm prepared to get some weird looks in Tesco. Problem is, if someone vexes me or a scantily clad human crosses my path, everyone will hear it speeding up.

When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)

That's the level I'm at right now with drawing as an adult.

What are those yellow, red and blue things? I'm sure I've picked them up in another game.

I wish more people knew about this TV movie.

Your humble servant will be at this. As will @anecdotagemedia.bsky.social. I know it's the 11th hour, but you should be at it too. It's more of a friends hangout than a typical con. www.ticketsource.com/ircexpo2025/...

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact. Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡 #retrocomputing #retrogaming #8bit

Indie Retro News: SwitcherBoy - A charming WIP arcade puzzler for the Amiga AGA by Tecniman www.indieretronews.com/2025/07/swit... #retrogaming #gaming #games

At first, you think it's making fun of Star Wars (1977) and Alien (1979), and then you realise that it was released in 1974 and therefore influenced the look of those movies. Admittedly, 2001 (1968) had already been released by then which obviously provided some inspiration.
