Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Computers.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS folks!

This thing looks absolutely stunning.

Well hello there...

Granny's Garden Part 1 or Part 2? Either way, it's traumatic and terrifying.

Labyrinth anyone?

Vintage computers are the highest form of art.

Mattel Aquarius anyone?.... No? Ok 🙃

Who thought spreadsheets could be so damn sexy.

The Apple Lisa, 1983; The first commercially available computer to come with a GUI.

Tatung Einstein - 1984 and packing a disk drive. Not a common feature for home computers, especially in the UK.

The OG Commodore 64; the machine you could smoke around and actually improve the colour.

Can't believe it's been 8 years since i got my first "office" for this crazy YouTube journey. Thank you to everyone that has joined me on this ride! May it continue 😀

Commodore 16; the oddball underdog of the 8-bit era. Wedged between the VIC-20 and the C64, it came with just 16KB, a 7501 CPU, and a colour palette far fancier than its station in life. computermuseum computer commodore commodore16

Apple Mac. Being used creatively since 1984.

ABC-26; a sci-fi-looking Japanese workstation from 1982 that could juggle eight programs at once. Powered by a Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB of RAM; running MP/M and DOSKET; and happy in MBASIC, CBASIC, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran and assembler.

IBM PC-AT giving off Big Boss energy.

The computer that looked futuristic in 1977… and still refuses to look uncool today.

80s micros were so fleeting, yet made such an impact. The QL’s OS actually had multitasking; you could run multiple jobs while SuperBASIC handled the foreground. For a 1984 home-business machine, that was unusually advanced.

Owning an Amiga was like owning a Betamax. You knew it was better, but no one cared.

A BBC Micro… that wasn’t a BBC Micro? Meet The Dolphin. Built by Cumana in the mid-1980s, it offered the same feel and compatibility, without the price.

The Amiga 1000's keyboard garage is a source of constant joy in my life.

Fun fact: Toasted Sandwich contents was used to test the Space Shuttle's heat shield.

To be this good takes an Amstrad Mega PC with matching control pad and Sonic 2... No, genuinely, it does.

Ok, but why game when you have an entire file system to explore?

This wallpaper SLAPPED.

Hey man, you got a serious attitude problem.

To be this good takes a Sega 60th anniversary jacket. No idea how I got it 🤭🤫

An Apricot is the perfect evening snack.

We need to talk about the Amstrad PC1512 again soon. Trust me, it's important.

EGX WAS ATTENDED. SOCIALING WAS ATTEMPTED. JOY WAS ATTAINED.

New phone WHO DISE? My Pixel 6 broke weeks ago, so I've been using my Nokia 7610. Set up a new insta for its pics @mynokia7610

Grateful to have a 🤏 hangout with Naoki Hamaguchi-san, director of Final Fantasy VII Remake 🤯 before the upcoming Xbox/Switch Intergrade releaseeee! As someone who enjoyed the PlayStation OG & The Remake, it was cool to chat first hand.

S Q U A R E E N I X

Going live on BBC Breakfast in about half an hour 😬

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

This is fairly good advice.

This article just reminded me of this old tweet

When dead flesh feel controllers weren't just available. They were desirable.

Just posted a new video discussing THIS https://youtu.be/S8a...

A little D*Fuzed for Game Boy Color mention on the latest @nostalgianerd.com video. Go give it a watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8a3... @incube8games.bsky.social @zombiworkshop.bsky.social @andylemon.bsky.social @kirstybrinkman.bsky.social @quangdx.com #DFuzedGBC

I miss long, drawn out, installation processes. They gave you time to ponder, to feel, to dream.

Happy #TillysGameversary 🎁 to Windows 95, released on this day, 1995. Windows 95 was the most expensive meta advertising campaign in history. An ‘operating system’ built only to market the Weezer single, Buddy Holly, Windows 95 was actually a serviceable OS in its own right, proving quite popular.

Thanks for all the help on this ~ I shall obtain and feature some of these in my next video.

There was a time when operating systems were fun.

Help me out. Name some essential Windows XP era games.

Just opened up a brand new XP machine. Mr. Sheen ain't got nothing on this.

When every PC had a lock, but you never really understood why.
