datassette is a good treasure trove for brazilian magazines of that era, especially about the MSX computer: datassette.org/revistas/msx

Show thread

the MSX was very popular in brazil thanks to Sharp/Epcom and Gradiente manufacturing their own computers in brazil during the import ban in the 1980s, however they were only MSX1

MSX2 was only ever available in unofficial upgrade kit form or via contraband

Show thread

i also love how "Nemesis" was apparently "brazil's biggest softhouse" and yet all that history is basically lost/unsung compared to english-speaking countries

it's also funny to me how they developed for the MSX2, a platform that was never officially available in brazil

Show thread

the quip at the bottom "100% national software, protect yourself from the pirates" is just *chef's kiss*

Show thread

i love how this ad was very clearly made in the software itself and how (if you can read portuguese and notice the breaks in the grammar) it's completely glitched up with skipped and repeated lines

MSX Page Maker ad, a thing of beauty

take it from a person who participated in habbo raids on 4chan well before i understood what the fuck i was doing: this shit isn't funny and we stopped doing it for a reason

stop encouraging this shit and if you think it's funny you're a block on sight

Show thread

a ton of people are praising the person who did this but like, my wife's 7-year old brother who's obsessed with gmod really does not need pornography forcibly shoved in his face

you are all hopeless

RT @Thafnine@twitter.com

IMPORTANT PSA:

on gmod right now, a popular addon creator lost his goddamn mind and has altered all of his addons to add a jumpscare of goatse when you open the game. i am not fucking joking, delete any "GlueLibrary" addon you have immediately

Might be a long shot, but do I know anybody who knows anyone who might have spare parts for a Roamer robot (as used to teach coding at KS1)? Seems they've been discontinued and all factory stock disposed of :(

Xenia the Linux fox needs her own hashtag.

is too ambiguous.
is short enough but could briefly be misread.
is clearest, but 16 letters may be too long.

What hashtag should we use?

When I was younger, the only thing I had to keep me entertained in the toilet was one of those chunky brick games. Now I have a slim rectangle that fits in my pocket and can directly give me anxiety. Technology is fantastic
