I've been playing Eldritch. Friggin frustrating game. Ok, just one more go.

I do. I use a Pi-Hole at home along with an adblocker, but I'm not always home.

I'm fine with hack-a-day. YouTube requires me to sit through some ads, watch a sometimes que long intro, cut to the sponsors, more rambling, finally a couple of seconds that answer the title question, and then the obligatory "like and subscribe". Nah.

I vote with my wallet by buying indie games or old discounted single player AAA games. This also means I can game on a crappy machine. Being a retrogamer also helps. I literally have more games to play than time to live.

The way they casually throw in a bazooka wielding character with zero introduction is just hilarious.

Not when it requires VR, it's not. I know there are patches to remove the requirement, but the game was designed with VR in mind.

I'm glad you feel that way. Keep it up as long as you can.

gestures broadly at all things

Humanity in general. People are jerks. Maybe Agent Smith was right all along.

Other than that... Half-Life 3 ever being made.

The bottom of the top.

Completely off topic but as a European it blows my mind that gunfire resistance is a factor to consider when purchasing cars in America.

That ship, my friend, has already sailed.

The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python's Holly Grail.

I'd watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.

 

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

 

Hello gentlemen. It seems I've already have this in my collection, so maybe one of you want it?

What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

 

I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

 

The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

 

If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

Good times.

 

Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.

 

It always amazes me when people manage to bend Speccy display's limitations and come up with wonderful digital art. I came across Adam's @helpcomputer0@mastodon.art work on Mastodon and it became one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and have a look.

 

While Real Life^TM^ strives to keep me away from all things Speccy related, I was pleasantly surprised to see the legacy of the old World of Spectrum site preserved in WoS Classic.

So why not have a go at the awesome Advanced Lawnmower Simulator to celebrate? Go go, you know you want to...
