To be honest if you have never had to boot up a computer with a five inch floppy disk then you have had it easy and I think you're a pussy

Hello new followers. 👋
This is my 2017 conversion of the Pole Position arcade game to the Atari STE, naturally running on real STE hardware.
The game logic is reverse-engineered from the arcade game, and it features funky realtime sprite scaling.

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

Not really my heart
Just somebody's heart

Not everyone realises how easy it is to run a local LLM these days. If you’re on MacOS with Homebrew:
> brew install --cask ollama
> ollama run llama3.2
That’s it.
> brew install --cask ollama
> ollama run llama3.2
That’s it.

I remember reading this for one of my episodes (playermissile.com/podcast/ep03...), there was an article on women in the video game industry. 🧵 (Thanks to @decafjedi.bsky.social for the thread that prompted me to look back at this article.)
