Forgot to post this last week, Latest nails are the horribly named "Royal Confidante"

Public Domain Magazine, the bible of free software for Amiga, ST and PC has never been scanned. Until now! We look at its complex coverdisk, how you got free software when the internet was only 3 months old and what connects this show and the magazine within a magazine. youtu.be/85sDuKq37JA

Been continuing with my crazy GBA Esp32 experiment. And made huge progress this weekend. 🧵

My current video using an esp32 might have bombed hard, but that doesn't mean I won't continue trying to do crazy things with them.

Recently I made my own controller, using the GBA as the base. and this is how I did it! youtu.be/7zsAm-uovJc

Of all the ways to advertise Quake, I'm not sure this would have jumped into head as an option. PC Format November 1996

My weird eye thing I mentioned the other day. Turns out a blood vessel in my eye popped and what I am seeing is blood! No idea how it happened, even the optometrist was baffled. It should fade with time, but guess who now has to see a specialist in a few months time.

Not sure if this is a sign of getting old or what, but I've suddenly gotten this weird spider in a web style floater in my right eye. It moves around with my vision as well, and has been persistent since yesterday evening. Got an appointment with the optometrist tomorrow.

Time to look at what happened to C64 games when they are ported to a system with twice the power! That's almost double! But do they double down or fold at the title screen? Watch and see! youtu.be/xKdU9t6T3Jc

At the end of 2004 the Playstation 2 was king. A warning to Sony though as 3 seemingly unassailable game series have challenges coming, but do any of them score a direct hit? youtu.be/zp7qJkn4G2w

It's a joke I've made every other time, so why stop now. "New glasses, who's this?"

Got a head full of hay fever and ache. So here are some Amiga games! (No idea of the link, but this is where my head is at).

Who's stupid idea was it to go out for a 6 mile walk today. Oh yeah, mine. Well listened to a chunk of an audio book and got a few views in.

Redid the nails as was filming content this week. And gone with "under the tree" A very dark green that almost looks blue most of the time. #nails

Here at team @pixelpushergames.co.uk : @108stars-pixelart.bsky.social and @superjetspade.bsky.social are still working hard on Chords. I unfortunately couldn't resist sharing my favourite new location here on bsky. I present to you The Park! #segegenesis #segamegadrive #gamedev #indiedev

I build a real working Alien Motion Tracker youtu.be/KpUjXUSlkbU

I don't buy many CDs these days but had to get the "Catalyst Symphony" "The Light Inside" EP that has the great @tamaracade.bsky.social on it.

Slightly diminish a band: TrepidationVision

Heh, Heh. Double nice! Heh, Heh.

The Amiga A1200 and the AGA machines got their fair share of ports, so lets take a look at some of the games that were so much better on the hardware. that there wasn't much reason to return to the originals. youtu.be/ReVIoomOZHU

It's a combi day, as not only is it time for new nail polish, but also out at the weald and downland museum. The event is the Roots and Rhythm. And the polish is 'Fab'

Ocean made many licensed games, but this might have been the only one based on a book! Let's check out Ivanhoe! youtu.be/nOAKwJqnAXg

Things I get from a car boot sale, war of the worlds (pictured). Things I don't get, a fleshlight (not pictured)!

Big urn or small geek, you decide.

There are times I forget how good we have it these days, with back lit screens and built in rechargeable batteries.

Had to bodge and hack the board a little bit but! It works! I've some how made a bluetooth Xbox controller inside a GBA shell!

No cheating. Post your lock screen. Mine is a little boring, but bonus points for those who know the game.

I need to be smart this week so i decided to go with Neblue-la

After 6 months of updates, the new Retro.Directory 2.0 is now live packed with loads of exciting updates, features and improvements... youtu.be/85RFeX76Hv8

After 5 minutes of playing, this was all I could think of.

That's my weekend sorted. If any videos are late next month, you will know why.😁

Galaxy of Games are bringing us their second best as its their Silver edition. but, are they still selling shareware they renamed as special editions. does the number of games on the box match what is on the disk? Lets find out! youtu.be/NX3wz_DvFBw

Went for a big walk today. 7.2miles in just over 2 hours. Got a lot more of the "Long Mars" listened to.

Even the cats are, fuck this heat!

You've been kidnapped, the characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I don't think I'm going to make it, but I'd die confused and laughing .

Another experiment and another that I'm not completely sold on. The glitter style coating looks a little 'dirty' to me. If it was all that green colour I think it would be great. But as the coverage was quite low even after a few layers it needed the other green as a base.

I might have something completely silly, fun and unexpected in the pipeline.

My previous skeet reminded me that I hadn't posted up my latest colour. A very sparkly blue, but textures in a way that is a little annoying. So it needs a lot of top coat to not feel like having sand paper for nails.

the duality of the comments that I get.

And its comments like this are why I post up my updated nail polish every 2 weeks or so. and will continue until the comments stop.

Been working on a wireless (might need a wire at the moment for power) XBox controller for reasons. These esp32 boards are so cheap and quite impressive.

I meant to post this last week and the previous colour chipped very quickly. This is meant to be a dark purple, but ends up almost black instead. But then the name "black cherries" hints at it.

Lee has been chatting with the best of YouTube. And after getting through them then asked me.

I was really disappointed when I couldn't repair the Amstrad ALT-286, but I think what I ended up with is even better: youtu.be/K4rSkNn_MxM

OMG! I got featured on Hack a day!! hackaday.com/2025/06/13/t...

mentally I'm here, it's been a very long week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=th4C...

Dan @slopesgameroom.bsky.social is in a pretty bad situation - he's at risk of losing his Google account (YT/Drive/Photos/the lot) and needs help trying to get in touch with a human at the company who can help sort it. Details are here if anyone's able to help with that. youtu.be/H9zU00_I_HY?...

Its here, possibly the most complex thing that I've built. A GBA console with a twist inside! youtu.be/niw_-F2xzqw

Today is a good day!

The lumbar support on this chair is a little lumpy and bitey!
