Keezees! A webcomic set in Glasgow, featuring Robert Burns, punk and time-travel (I also post other artwork that I've done).
I'm also diametrically opposed to "A.I." in it's current form of data-and-IP-theft.
The webcomic is at keezees.com

Seriously though, if anyone in Glasgow knows anywhere that does A3 scans at 300 dpi (and isn't just a photocopier), I'd be eternally grateful if you could tell me.

2/2 Opposite colours CAN work together if they are separated (eg; red and green separated by gold, seen on Christmassy things). If they touch, or worse, are blended, they make a fuzzy grey that's not easy on the eye. And AI mixes teal and orange a LOT.

One of the (many) things that gets me is it's complete lack of knowledge regarding colour theory. It just takes what it finds and blends it into horrible faded mush. A lot of it is clearly taking artwork from the 00's when there was a teal/orange fad; colours that are opposites...1/2

Always found it funny that a full-price YS Megagme ended up as a mini-game in Bioshock

I would print out random name tags for a laugh. One day, not knowing the area manager was paying us a visit, my manager introduced us.
"...and this is..."
*squints at my badge, growls at me...*
"...TYLER".
Oh shit
Area manager says, "Nice to meet you Tyler".
Got a bollocking afterwards, worth it tho

*I never registered my NZS high scores to Twin Galaxies, but I did register them with a now defunct website called highscore. com which now punts Steam devices.

Let me tell everyone, once again, how I once had the world record high score for NewZealand Story and that I intend to retain my title.

£6 for a .co.uk? I'll need to check Cloudflare out, I'm with 123-Reg.
If I'm honest, my archive could be better (all 500 episodes are text links organised into chapters), so I'm looking for ideas for that; other than that, my site is as barebones as you can get because that's all it needs.

I use my socials to alert folk to the latest strip, but also provide a link to the archive so that they can go back a few strips for a reminder (or just start from the beginning).

I've used the same simple HTML pages for the last 20+ years for my webcomic. The only things I've done to my website in the last 10 years are a) change host from time to time and b) paid for the "s" in HTTPS, as it was coming up as a potential threat on some browsers.

A .com is about £20 a year now, a .co.uk is £12, you can get decent free hosting if you look around, HTML is free to learn and use, and the "s" in HTTPS (so that your site doesn't look malicious to some browsers) is about £30, but it's a one-off payment. Having your own site is cheap.

Used to work next door (to the right) in the now demolished building that housed CSV, as part of the Green Diary editorial staff. Absoulute labyrinth of. Building. Met good friends there who were in bands and would play next door after work in the 13th Note Club/Barfly.

NGL, I had all 6 of those tapes and played the shit out of them. Most notably Rampage, Aliens, and the demos of Lemmings, Atomic Robokid, Mystical and Dominion. Too young to consider the impact the covertapes had on the market.

On par with a quail's egg rather than a chicken. Won't be long till they're condensed down to Cadbury's Mini Eggs.

Yeh, called KGB as I recall. Came with a few Speccy games already on the disk, which felt amazing, being able to load a Speccy game at the click of a button lol

I started emulating in '93 on my Amiga; bought a 6th hand sampler off my pal, a PD ZX Spectrum emulator, and loaded all my Speccy games onto floppy disks.
Wasn't until '98 when I saw a feature in Edge about "retrogaming" that I realised Speccy games were still being made (notably Prince of Persia).

It was as far as I was concerned lol, I knew one person with a C64 and two people with CPCs, everyone else I knew had ZX Spectrums.

Reasons for picking a home computer over a console:
a) easier to convince parents you'll use it "for homework"
b) games cost either £1.99 or £9.99
c) all your mates had the same system so trading games was easy
d) piracy involved a blank cassette & your parent's hifi
e) YOU COULD MAKE YOUR OWN GAMES

I didn't get my Speccy until Christmas '89, had a broken Vic-20 up until then, then I upgraded from the Speccy to the Amiga in '93. It didn't feel like I was on the dying cusp of gaming formats at any time because there were still so many games being released.

I was wondering who I had pinched it off of lol

Counter argument: UK game sales figures, in percentages of the market, from 1991. A year after the Megadrive was launched.
