@beka_valentine and really i argue it's the output/media that changed really. you only can't use a 20 year old Mac for editing because 4k video will be slow on it. but if you were still editing SD? absolutely the same and doable. hell you can still write a book with word 97 on a 486 and you'll have a better experience than using office 365

@mhd oh yes i understand how the machinations of the mai-in system, what i was more confused about is why would a company be "giving out" so much money for free! it seems personal data is always the answer :)

as a non-USAian, can someone explain why mail-in rebates were so much of a thing in your country? what were companies getting out of paying each individual upwards of USD$30 on an electronics product in the 2000s, their personal information? and nowadays you give it out for free? am i missing something?

i'm releasing microDrummo into the wild after abandoning it for a year and running out of interest due to memory limitations of the M5 Cardputer

the future comes so slowly and the past distances itself so quickly

@Angela i'm watching like sickos through the window

@atax1a gesundheit

after fixing a couple more typos, it seems the game is playable

but i'm rubbish at it 😅

i'll take a break for today, i've taken down notes on what i found interesting about this experience to write a blog post on later

oh nevermind!

went to check on a dumped BBC copy of the game (it has a fancy title screen, perhaps usborne published it as a disk at some point, or a superfan made a very fancy version?) and the behaviour i thought was a parser bug is there just as on my conversion

well, time to test play it through then :)
