This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

@fishwithlasers.bsky.social Bloody nora, sorry mate ... a few days behind (again). But many belated happy returns for you 175th Birthday (ok, maybe not that many but I'm guessing it feels that bad)

I turned it off. Don't need it and want to save power.
BY THE WAY
If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

I live in the UK. Its a shit hole. Its going to pot. The place is a mess and the government is shockingly bad. I'd say it could well be one of the worst places on the planet. But look on the bright side, at least I don't live in America.

Blimey. Looking back over some of the WIPs I've let slip is a shame. Some of those games looked bloody gorgeous. Games like Zaxxon and BankPanic! and Gyruss and Wizadore and 1942 plus many many more. All well into development. I really should sit down and finish at least one of them ;) #Pico8
