Have you seen this hack/mod of Amstrad Turbo Out Run that runs 50% faster? It needs a a 6128 or a 464/664 with 64K expansion & looks ok, but it'd be nice if they could get it running a tiny bit faster, but I spose that's just asking for the moon on a stick. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTUm...

All things being equal, statistics show that I'm most likely to be posting a butterfly or a bird at any given time. 🦋 #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Stunday #Photography #Butterflies

Seamless editing, I'm sure you agree :)

Captioned still from Simpsons episode The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show. Homer is telling the guy in charge that all the other characters should always be asking where Poochie is, but I've passed the name "Harry" in over Poochie. It's seamless & you can barely tell I've done anything ;)

It'll be a while until I turn this into a full project (again. Since, by using Mode 7, I sacrificed the hardware multiplier in favor of a chunky screen mode, my rendering engine really could profit from a co-processor now) but it's a nice showcase of my Bermuda Engine's prototype SNES renderer.

then Tip of An Arrow is from The Ruby Cord, a strange bucolic post-apocalyptic ballad about the importance of making things and passing down knowledge in a world where everything is at your fingertips - but so far from reach.

If you find yourself needing to classify the undead this month, remember, the '80s Ghostbusters RPG made a two page spread attempting to make sense of the movie's system...and it's great.
