Used to post Retro PC stuff at my old twitter account @albpro then in @Black92RS74 also at Youtube as RetroTinkerer (I'm deleting all my content from both accounts in Twitter)
Pinned
I want to continue a thread I started "a while ago" at Twitter with some of the smallest and underrated youtubers I follow thanks to my passion, the retro computing world, with no particular order off course.
Please let me know about your favourite small and unknown channels:

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

YES, this is a gorgeous movie and a reminder to all of us in comics that you can push your colors harder. I tell my students honestly weekly--don't be afraid to color the way a character feels instead of whatever the local color is. EVERY ELEMENT can help communicate story, dirtbags! EVERYYYYY
Ran (1985)
Akira Kurosawa's epic retelling of Shakespeare's King Lear. A warlord's crimes come back to haunt him at the end of his life as he watches his family devour itself.
Hang every shot of this movie in the Louvre!

My reconstruction of the German #BackToTheFuture logo. In my opinion, a stunningly good localization of one of the greatest movie logos ever. With a bit of luck on their side, they were able tp keep the connected CK and the arrow poking the K.

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!
It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.
This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!
Artists! Drop your shop links!

Let’s also not forget that Nakadai was the first guy who got to gush an absolute geyser of blood in a samurai movie, a happy accident that became a trope.

I have been posting less and the reason is I had another epileptic seizure, had to raise medication, my hand tremors got even worse, and I got depressed over it.
Am officially looking for someone to help me fix some hardware.
I can't pay much, but might have vintage hardware for you instead.🧵

Another image done for the cutscenes in the Amiga OCS game I'm working on.
The game really needs to get a name at some point.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”
It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

E aí eu lembro que os americanos rejeitaram a capa original de Castlevania SOTN, feita pela grandiosíssima Ayami Kojima, porque o personagem principal era muito afeminado e o público não ia gostar. Daí colocaram um castelo genérico no lugar.
Conclusão: Realmente, Americanos não gostam de capas boas

Relendo o feed do @jmechner.bsky.social sobre a criação do Prince of Persia, ele diz que as vendas foram ruins no início e que falaram a ele: "É um ótimo jogo, mas a embalagem é horrível".
Isso me faz pensar que Americano não gosta de capas boas. Olha só que capa linda!!! +

I just want to put this out into the universe.
If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.
