Here's a cool little bit of #retrogaming history "Bubbles" For #C64 It was the first game developed by industry veteran @randallinden.bsky.social who recently helped develop the SuperFX3 revision & #SNES Rumble controller It had a VERY limited release and was almost considered #lostmedia #gaming

43 years ago I wrote a game called "Bubbles" that was a Centipede clone for the Commodore 64. TIL the game has been found and preserved which makes me so very happy and thankful for what has been a wonderful career so far! www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/bubble...

Added a preset for Blueretro to map the SNES mouse on the right joystick in the CTRL + Mouse mode of Doom FX3. Best way to play IMHO 😎 @randallinden.bsky.social

People are receiving their copies of DOOM SNES 2025 and I wanted to shout out to everyone making videos! What's really extra-impressive is that so many of the videos are running the game on OG hardware with CRT monitors! Absolutely amazing! A massive "Thank you!" to all the fans and supporters!

Looking for an external USB drive with at least 8TB for backup. I'm currently thinking about the Seagate Expansion Desktop 14TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (STKP14000400) Seagate drives have been reliable, but not very fast. Recommendations, reviews and comments appreciated!
