I went to a proper concert for the first time in years on Sunday. My beloved #TeamDresch played in Hamburg. They are currently on their first Europe/UK tour in 30 years (next stop London, I think). They still rock. The new album is awesome, too. Can recommend! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎸

Prediction: Now that modern computing is going the way it goes (pricing, "AI", the bunch of rich ignorants running the show), I guess we are going to see another renaissance of #vintagecomputing #permacomputing and #retrocomputing. And I’m absolutely and utterly here for that.

I decided to build something for about 50 people on the planet, maybe less... www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.ph... It's a chess variant game on the C128 in GEOS. Yes. You read that right. And if you are one of ~10 people that has a SuperCPU 128? It'll be about 10x a better engine (2mhz vs 20mhz).

Photo of my C128's A1902 CRT monitor displaying my game "Chess Attack 128" which is a chess game on a small 6x6 chess board where each game you and your opponent get a whole new assortment of pieces, mirrored.

Closeup of the right-panel of Chess Attack 128 where I'm currently displaying your system's stats (mainly for testing purposes but I might keep some of it, as it's kinda cool).

Comparison of the original Chess Attack chess pieces I designed, and the updates I needed to make when I switched from vector art to blocky 16x16 (later scaled up to 24x24) pieces.

Tidying up the lab and going through boxes. I have around 10 times as many joysticks as I have hands to use them. (Not counting the ones that don’t work.) I just ordered the Commodore TAC-2 remake. It’s a strange hobby. #RetroComputing #RetroGaming
