After staring at a bunch of 6502 assembly code, now numbers 10 - 12 don't seem right to me. Fingers crossed for a base-16 version.

I have no idea what I'm doing,but I made a tiny intro to #Durdraw video.. #asciiart #ansiart #ascii #ansi #art #linux www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDFS...

One of my favorite descriptions of Pac-Man comes from Forrest Mozer, physicist and inventor of early speech technology that powered talking calculators and games like "Ghostbusters" and "Impossible Mission": "The little character that looked like an egg, that walked around and chewed up things."

This is good, more like this

My new #C64 #RPG: for those that like pirates, here's another YouTube video showing the WIP pirate's town, plus a little bit of sailing. youtu.be/2Yl2FHz0Tgc

If you have the extremely specific desire to play a queer first person adventure game that looks like it has early 90s 3D graphics, maybe I recommend Manglepaw? It’s even on sale right now resnijars.itch.io/manglepaw

Made a little Commodore 64 demo (or more of a slideshow/comic) about that day yesterday. You can watch it online www.goerp.nl/C64/demos/th... Or download here csdb.dk/release/?id=...

I think adventure games are better now than they were in their “golden age” and I’m a huge fan of those games. Check out this thread of recommendations. I would also add Phoenix Springs and the upcoming games Old Skies, Dreamsettler, Heir of the Dog, and Perfect Tides sequel. There’s so many games!

Managed to do an effort today, fixed feltup.org so that my Patreon supporters can once again read the archives as promised Also got feltup.org/machine functioning, which makes a random scene on every reload so everyone can get felt up again

I hope everyone's enjoying sharing their VD with their sweeties 🥰

Thinking about that time emulaThor booted Linux on a Commodore 64 with REU in 39 hours. The C64 was emulating a RISC-V processor with MMU using Onno Kortmann's semu-c64. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... github.com/onnokort/sem...

Around five years ago I entered the BASIC 10 liner competition with this take on Jeff Minter's "Gridrunner" :) Was pretty proud of what I achieved considering the limitations. I can't remember when I last entered the competition but I do intend to do so with the current contest. It's good fun!

Maybe because my dad was NSA, but as a kid I assumed everything was a secret code. When I learned the numbers for "Stones" in Ultima V, I spent ages trying to decipher the true meaning. Even tried calling it as a phone number, half expecting @richardgarriott.bsky.social to answer. (He did not!)

Some game consoles have a beep. Some game consoles have a startup check. And then, there is the FM Towns Marty.

This is all we had on the MZ-80A as far as graphics went :) Suffice to say, there were a lot of games with either snakes or UFOs in (or both!)

I seem to be offline.

ピットフォール2 失われた洞窟, クリア動画, Apple II, 1984. Atari2600の有名ゲームの移植です。ノリの良い音楽と、敵への攻撃方法を持たない&自分も死なない平和主義が特徴です。主人公がスタート地点の真下にいる茶色の犬の場所まで到達したらクリアです。とても広い洞窟の大半を通らないとそこへは到達しません。 youtu.be/zyaSCYsf1dg?...

It's not a stretch to say this is the best ostrich I've ever seen pixeled for the #c64. Another great #pixelart piece from Colin Thomson. Progress video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_hI...

For today's game I embark on Kim-Venture, a highly unusual adventure game on the KIM-1, a system with a "calculator display" that could only display six characters at a time and had a ludicrously small memory capacity. bluerenga.blog/2025/02/10/k...

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

Everyone excited about the upcoming live-action adaptation of Activision's H.E.R.O.?

The Other Trolley Problem: You are carrying two Trolleys and wish to give Vanna White a hug. What do you do? Here's how one neighbor approached it.

Hope I can land an offer on the high end of the range
