Flippin' eck, @discord.com , my account's existed for 8 years, during which time I've paid for Nitro by credit card, yesterday was my 48th birthday, which you know, and you still didn't think I was an adult and made me verify my age... Morons...

Sometimes I really enjoy leaving positive, constructive comments on YouTube videos. Creating any longform video is, at minimum, hours of work. Why not make the creator feel good that they tried? It takes hardly any time out of my day, and it might make theirs.

Written entirely in 8086 assembly and supporting CGA, Tandy/EGA and VGA. I have 1344 bytes of tile graphics in there (488 bytes per graphics mode) pushing the compiled binary past 4kB to 4548 bytes. Pretty much functionally identical to the C64 version, though it adds a joystick calibration screen.

After creating a C64 game, I couldn't neglect DOS, of course, so porting has begun. And when you make a retro game in 2026, it has to support CGA, EGA, and VGA!
The same tile set in (top to bottom) CGA, EGA, and VGA. The files (from left to right) are: empty floor, health potion, snake, wall (top view), wall (side view), treasure chest, and player.

The #c64 maze game has been ported from #c64basic to #6502assembly too. And I've put both versions (as well as the assembly language source code) online at the project page shdon.itch.io/snake-temple

Inspired by "The Snake Temple" for the Oric Atmos ( bunsen.itch.io/the-snake-te... ), I pulled out my #c64 and recreated it in #c64basic
A screenshot (through the VICE emulator) of my recreation of The Snake Temple, showing a small blue figure in a maze filled with green snakes and blue health potions. About a third of the maze has been explored so far, and the character has 83 health points.

NL Wallet — de toekomstige opvolger van DigiD — werkt alleen met een Google- of Apple-account. WTF?! Terwijl we net een Amerikaanse overname van DigiD blokkeerden "ter bescherming van het publieke belang." #NLWallet #DigitaleAutonomie
ftm.nl
Gedoodverfd opvolger van DigiD is niet te gebruiken zonder Gmail-account of Apple-ID
NL Wallet, de aankomende digitale identiteitsapp van de overheid, is afhankelijk van software van Apple en Google, blijkt uit onderzoek van Follow the Money. In een reactie zegt het ministerie te ‘bestuderen’ of er mogelijkheden zijn de app alsnog minder afhankelijk te maken van Amerikaanse techgiganten.

Midnight Saturn review | Adventure Game Hotspot
Midnight Saturn combines futuristic sci-fi and film noir sensibilities in a short but perfectly okay detective case that is best described as average in just about every respect.

As I had to reinstall my PC, it doesn't meet Win11's requirements and I don't want to downgrade to Win11 anyway, I've switched to Linux recently. And one of two patches I've submitted to Wine has just been merged, fixing Wine's built-in task manager's graphs which got clipped on resizing the window.
Wine's built-in task manager before my patch. Note the clipped graphs and the spacing between the horizontal grid lines being much greater than that between the vertical grid lines.Wine's built-in task manager after my patch. The graphs now display completely and have a square grid.

Wel, this is interesting... My train home broke down and we were stranded outside the station for an hour and a half in darkness. An evacuation train came alongside and we've just transferred onto it. I left the office at 22:00 (10:00pm) and likely won't be home before 1:00am...
