@LaserScheme I played the 2600 version long before finding an arcade version, and I never saw the moon buggy's locomotion as anything else. :3

Reminder to USA folks: If your vintage computer keeps time and has time zone rules, it's going to tell the wrong time (an hour slow) for the next three weeks: today through April 3.

One of the things I don't miss about magazine type-in programs is that, if they published a bug in their code, you usually had to wait 2 or 3 issues for them to publish a fix.

Today, that means finding & reading the 5 issues following a program before you start typing it in.

@arilin Every time I see that on Twitter, I think it's a filename extension for a ransomwared file, and I want to delete it and replace it with a backup copy before it infects my computer.

Good morning and merry Imbolc. Already the nights are shorter and the days longer. Though the world is cold and may get colder, may your home be blessed as your beacon of hope and refuge of warmth.

I know enough #Commodore #GEOS programming now that I can throw together a quick test program from scratch in less than an hour, with only stupid spelling mistakes.

TIL geoAssembler can't take a data file arg via GetFile, which means throwing together a quick test program is still 15-30 minutes of clicking & waiting, even with an (emulated) REU.

I'm sorely tempted to make my first serious program a dangerously ambitious IDE. Maybe like geoCOPE, but with CBM SEQ source files.

@porsupah This made my day. :3
