Content example: I used my new agentically-developed #C64 DTL #decompiler to help some random person on reddit know how #Phantasie ( #SSI 1985) and Phantasie II (SSI 1986) rolled characters: www.reddit.com/r/c64/commen...

I fucking finished Pool of Radiance. 18 episodes of a 1988 AD&D game became The Pools Saga: hand-drawn maps, dice decisions, party wipes, and four assholes I somehow ended up caring about. Start at Episode 1: samthul.com/pages/floppy...

I will be talking about #C64 #agentic #reversing using #retrodebugger at #CRX2026 in November www.crxevent.com There's nothing special about this harness, but this one is mine:

There's now software to make C64 Transwarp 50x fast loads on native C64 hardware: www.obliterator918.com/transwarp-wr...

I deeply respect your decision to make QuestLord II *completely* by hand, and so will many others. I think you do amazing work, and I'll always support the arts (that means you!). Happy to assist you in this and all future efforts (in the tried and true ways ;) ).

@kimchikawaii.bsky.social created some custom artwork for my workplace again this past week. Highly recommended for feel-good #kawaii art commissions. <3

I would consider it a big loss if you dropped me over exploring AI. I say this because I'm giving an 8-bit AI presentation in November on an agentic harness I made for analyzing binaries to see how the ancient ones did their 8-bit magic back in the 80s, and to preserve that history.

I LOVED playing through QuestLord; your handcrafted talents shined through. Super excited to see your latest artistry in QuestLord II.

Little Red Dot appears every now and then, and for the life of me I can't figure out where or what is causing it. 🤬Well that's what I'm doing today... Chasing a single random pixel as if I am playing Warren Robinett's Adventure form 1980 🫩 #debug #debugging #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

Frustration over the little red pixel in QuestLord 2

I've had no luck. It's close to the original, but maybe not quite so 1940s.

Victimhood culture checklist: - polarizing "us-vs-them" mindset - poor conflict resolution - dependence on validation - resistance to feedback - reduced personal agency (and expecting others to perform agency on their behalf) - loss of credibility over time

I once saw an "it is what it is" t-shirt like this in an online store. I can't find it (which drives my OCD nuts), so I had AI mockup the image (although I have aphantasia, so I'm sure I got the overall style wrong). I'd love to buy it from the original artist if anyone could find it:

How do you kill a Supercomputer?   (Accidentally) using radioactive solder is a good way.   IBM’s Blue Gene/L frequently crashed when running simulations at LLNL.   Turned out that alpha particles from the lead solder in the board carrier were slamming the L1 cache with bit flips.

I look at #Commodore64 demo "The Hat" by Fairlight and Genesis Project, specifically the part with the "14 balloon sprites" in a row and its "hires" scrolling border message. youtu.be/DyteWLEPKzE

Online #Zork I through III, but with an #LLM that replaces the normal input parser: infocom.tambo.co For instance, I just typed a prompt, and it translated it into two zork commands:

Remember having to swap disks all the time on 8-bit RPGs? Well, this 21-year-old beat the modern (2020) game Factorio, after converting the game to an unfathomable disk-swapping hell of over 1,000 floppies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTPB...

> What is this? The Commodore 64 came out 43 years ago. Recently, fans purchased the IP and resurrected the company. Brand new C64 "ultimate"s (they do cool stuff) are rolling off the assembly lines. A bunch of 50-year-olds are reliving their favorite childhood Christmas this year. :)
