GrantMeStrength @grantmestrength.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Searching for a podcast about Retro Computers - but one which isn’t all about the games. I’m one of those weirdos who preferred to write programs rather than play games. 231
GrantMeStrength @grantmestrength.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Ok I added another batch of 3D models, these ones created by credited artists and released under CC.
