I make music using old hardware and write about videogame history. I dabble with game development and making cool little web things. Was big on TikTok, apparently!

Sacking a load of security experts in order to replace them with AI that generates flawed leaky code. That definitely isn't going to end in disaster.

Is this the Skool that every home computer owner went to back in the Daze? Recognise it? Haven’t optimised it properly, but considering this took me most of yesterday… looks good, right? :) #retrogaming :p

When I started in publishing one thing that surprised me (although it really shouldn't have) is how much say retailers have. Especially when it comes to aspects like cover design.

somewhere at my parents there's a box of 350 or so speccy tapes we...acquired...between 1989 and 1992. console games obviously reached the position where they were given away 3-at-a-time on the front of magazines, but there were still plenty of routes to get them for cheap.

I think there's definitely always a tension between new players and the existing player base. In the 80s and nineties video games were immunised to an extent because everything refreshed every 4-5 years for everyone. Pinball tables in the same time frame became a lot less approachable.
