It’s a hot Saturday evening, July 1987. Someone from Sweden or somewhere like that mailed you a bunch of 5 and a quarter inch floppy disks for your Commodore 64. You just loaded the first one up and the Eaglesoft image appears. This and the music that accompanies it will be a core memory for you

A level results day in our house. The good thing is these days they find out via UCAS whether they got accepted into their choices or not so the pressure sat outside this sixth form college in the car isn’t so bad. Everyone here looks ridiculously young. Hope they all got what they needed

Quite like the look of the new Ghost version ghost.org/changelog/6/...
For some time now I've thought about having a blog that can connect to the social web, might be the time to make the move.

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.
This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.
Links in thread.

Really enjoying the new Adam Curtis series ‘Shifty’. One highlight so far is a sequence of street interviews from late 70s Newcastle of different youth subcultures, including this intrepid fella representing one I never knew was a thing

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏
We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

I absolutely LOVE the idea of asses.masses - a bunch of people in a theatre collaborate to play an 8-hour game about donkeys being replaced by machines.
What larks!
It's on in Bradford this weekend and London next weekend - go see it if you have the chance.

Asses.masses is an 8-hour epic about unemployed donkeys that's a cross between gaming and theatre, made by first-time devs
Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim reveal how they created a game with no previous coding experience.
