There is *so* much dialogue in Fortune’s Weave.

Yeah, I think we would have bored the joysticks off the other lads

Which network are you on? Quick test for me on EE shows comparable speeds, and 5G in my area isn't at full strength. I do know that some services, like Three, can't even get a signal on our street.

Brogrammers couldn't wrap their megabrains around not-a-real-language CSS, so decided to reinvent it and fight against the web platform for their own convenience. Who could possibly have predicted it would be crap for users, and would need expensive surgery to drain the festering pus?

Less than 48h porting YOYOZO to @jinks.gg and it's looking *good*! 😎 Original was ~3000 lines of Lua, this is ~1500 lines of Jinks: for the exact same base *plus* a bunch of new stuff like 2P mode, dynamic CPU players, colour & palettes, 60fps, optional analog and rumble, etc. 💫

I cannot confirm if it’s a whole new script or the existing translation. I’ll ask Luis. (I run that MD account)

I've found Popeye's to be absolutely bang average in the UK. The one time I tried it in the US, it wasn't much better.

I've updated the venerable USB Prober V2 so that logging works using on modern macOS without the need for a kext or driver. Result! (And I've made zero changes to the grand old interface.) github.com/gingerbeardm...

Working on game projects other than my own leads to new discoveries, so I want to continue doing so whenever possible. Thank you for the opportunity to join this project, Andrew. I had a fun and creative time:) And don’t forget checking out Reality Draft!

An excellent write up on Patreon by Coin Op Collection about my favourite arcade game Bubble Bobble, including all the things emulators and the existing FPGA core get wrong (it's still just emulation!) An excellent deep dive. www.patreon.com/atrac17/post...

Let's take a deep dive into Rad Mobile, Sega's first 32-bit game and Sonic's first appearance. We got: Weird input codes! Broken gameplay elements! Lots of cut content! And a new rear-view mirror ornament! Check it out! 👇👇👇👇👇 sudden-desu.net/entry/rad-mo...

Rad Mobile - Input Codes, Broken Gameplay Elements, and Cut Content

There's more to Rad Mobile than the Sonic rear-view mirror ornament: Input codes, buggy and half finished functionality, and lots of unused content.

It's awful. It'll sell like hotcakes. So tired of all this 'after the fact retro-tat'

Might be easier to just meet in Tokyo!

are you gonna be at Play Expo this weekend? Might we… perhaps… possibly just… MEET IRL FINALLY!?!?

Whoever did this mural and put the Goddamn X-Bomber in the middle, I salute you.

A graffiti mural on a large canvas in an empty display space. The centrepiece is a powerful-looking red and white robot with an X-shaped metal crosspiece on its face. The robot is from the 1980 Japanese puppet series created by Go Nagai, X-Bomber (known in English as Star Fleet).

It is indeed. Platinumed and LLL all missions. DS2, didn’t quite enjoy as much, but still completed. Not compelled to 100% it.

From a UK perspective, I would always pronounce it with a hard "o" not the "oh" sound, "hot" vs "low", no dipthong. o-carina

Gonna stop you there because you’re being a bit of a tit about this and inferring things I defo didn’t say. Mac was fucked mid 90s and Microsoft were a powerhouse with cash. I was watching MS from the sidelines, hence the reference, and detesting their bullying and over-reaching behaviour.

I’m glad I’m getting on a 14hr flight in 10 mins. Please point out the part I say Apple were/are saints?

This isn’t about Macs. It’s about Microsoft’s behaviour towards everything. Throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds of software at devs to get them hooked, buying up software houses, government, business and educational contracts etc etc etc. They had cash to do as they pleased, and were hardline

The mid 90s, like I said in the post.
