social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

you know how in tng you see the transporter effect linger more around the torso

you know how jpeg compression uses less cosine transforms where there is less data

what if transporter compression really fucks up your limbs where there's less "data" as in tissue complexity than where there's a bunch of organs

I honestly thought there were only three golf sims associated with General Motors brands, two years ago. That number has not risen, but I've discovered a missing link: a standalone, shareware golf game from the same company, developed separately from the Buick and Cadillac brands.

and, beyond all hope, it worked! First with the test cart.

Then with Myst! (after I accidentally put the EPROMs in upside down, miraculously it didn't die after that)

after all this time, Myst running natively from vintage 1980s hardware. And as far as I can tell maybe I am the first person ever to run a full 2k-RAM E7 mapper game on real hardware w/o an emulator

i'm sure i'm not the only victim of this, and i try to combat it from the other way as well

but it's so funny to me how people are much, much quicker to dish out negative comments, even abuse, than to praise something you made they've enjoyed

i rarely ever get positive feedback for my websites and tools. every single of the few people who's personally come forward to thank me about something i've made is shocked to learn how rare their messages are and admit they almost didn't send it

New blog post! In this, the final episode of the BBC Bridge Companion saga, I... finally write a Tetris game.

There's still more to do around the release (I got sidetracked badly this month) so look forward to that in a bit. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcbc
