Anyway I've played the first world so far and it's a pretty cool game! Good action platformer with a good fox in it. Can't go wrong with that

Oh Henk Nieborg worked on this, no wonder it looks good. That's a very Henk Nieborg looking frog

Decided to start a random unplayed game so I'm playing Fox n Forests. So far it lives up to both parts of the title

me: i’m mentally ill and struggling to get the energy to do tasks that are necessary for my everyday life

a neurotypical: having you considering taking on several time consuming and tiring hobbies, such as running, getting up at 5am to do yoga, and making green smoothies with 20 ingredients every day

The emu box I mentioned is the A600GS which is ARM based & it seems to use their own frontend on top of AROS which is an open source reimplementation of the AmigaOS API and not connected to OS 4 which is closed source & based on the original Commodore code. AROS also has an Eric Schwartz mascot

These things are still being developed! It looks like the latest one was the A1222+ which also came out last year and costs somewhere north of a grand but it is An Amiga with a 1.2GHz dual core CPU and 4GB of RAM

Supposedly it was going to be released as a download on an Amiga app store owned by the publisher which runs on OS 4, which is only for PowerPC Amigas, which is the next gen post-68k architecture that people have been trying to make happen pretty much since Commodore went under

Going down a bit of a rabbit hole on modern Amiga stuff after looking up the tracker OctaMED and finding out it got a new version LAST YEAR after no development since 1996. And the new version was only released on a particular Amiga emulation box

with a return to normalcy comes a return to CHAOS. it's One-Star Heroes, the two-day show in which i play bad games to pay my bills! Sunday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 26, starting whenever i'm awake and ending when i'm all gamed out, over at twitch.tv/rachelretro

I'm working in a co-working place today & they have a load of random coffee table books lying around that obviously no one ever reads

a thing capitalists did that's clever is that tax bills are itemized on your paycheck (and the precise way taxes are presented serves reactionary ends but that's neither here nor there) but at no point does a paycheck show a worker's revenue generated. it's not even like this would be hard to do; even for something abstract like service jobs you could simply print the business's revenue for the days worked on the paycheck, divided by the number of people employed. it would be pretty rough but massively clear how much your boss exploits you

I'm reading a 1987 Japanese magazine named Hacker and it's adorable. Besides talking about all kinds of bootlegs and erogames, it's got how-to instructions for how to defeat copy protection on PC-88 games. Like, here's how you format a disk and then run this BASIC code to copy the WIZARDRY game disk.

It's on the archive. There's some nudity in it, so beware:
