Obligatory self-promo repost™ But it's a great issue, too. Learnt some Ultimate stuff I didn't know. Just need that big Tim and Chris interview, now.

all vibe-coded ports look and feel like shit because theyre made by people without the experience or passion to pay attention to the small details these projects are like a disease to the reverse engineering community and must be rejected at all costs if we want to maintain a standard of quality

I must say Sheffield is near enough inaccessible by car. I had to goto a hospital appointment there and I think park and riding would of been the better choice.

The #Unico #ULW10 LCD monitor is a neat idea, but it's current performance is AWFUL. Yet they've taken a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS of your money for the #Kickstarter. I strongly recommend cancelling your pledge until there's proof it's fixed. Full story: retrorgb.com/unico-travel...

If you support a number of iPads and Chromebooks in schools like myself and deal with broken headphone jacks in sockets, a biro tube will always get the end out of the devices. Chop a bit off the biro tube, bash the little bit onto the broken jack and pull it out the socket. #lowtechhack

The opening of the Zelda 40th Direct with the orchestra is something to behold, and well worth a watch. I didn’t think I’d be bothered about the game, but the direct has done its job, bring on November. www.youtube.com/live/A0WX-js...

I looks like the Switch 2 with the removable battery has a UKCA logo on it, so should land in the UK as well. There’s 5% less battery, but ultimately user swappable. Gamers can have nice things, when protected by govts. Thank you EU.

After some seeing some Super Mario’s World slander earlier this week I just had to have a the sit down and had a play through. My 5th game to be completed this year. The end boss reminds me of a hot summer holiday days in the early 90’s

Screenshots of the currently undumped DoJa version of Mr. Do!, released by Bothtec for Japanese feature phones in 2006. This release included both a straight port of the original game, as well as a revamped version with a more "cybernetic" feel to the game's graphics.

Personally I think there are "legitimate questions" about COVID. Like why Michael Gove and Matt Hancock got away with giving away contracts to their mates. And why the fuck Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman haven't been prosecuted.

I just watched The Long Walk (2025), grim brilliance. A road movie like no other I’ve seen. (WTF is wrong with streaming services trying to actively stop the credits roll, this is the time I start to process what I’ve seen.)

For 1981, Outworld is a proper colourful game for the Vic20 and it’s full of music and fx too. Great vid as always.
