FAO anyone interested in the ZX Spectrum: Lee Fogarty has just announced that worldofspectrum.org is back online. Phew. You're talking about THE OLDEST RETROGAMING SITE ONLINE GOING BACK TO THE 90's going down. The forums themselves are a treasure trove of information. Someone needs to back that up.

Interesting article in the Metro detailing why there's no nostalgia for the NES in the UK, spoils it at the end by listing some of the most famous NES games ever made instead of the relatively unknown games we actually played back then.

The NES in the UK - why there’s no nostalgia for Nintendo's first console

To mark the anniversary of the NES, GameCentral breaks down how, despite the reverence many have for it, it had such little impact on UK gamers.

Apparently it's been 11 years since I worked out how to transfer art from my Photoshop to my Amiga. Download .iff format save patch for Photoshop. Save art as an .iff onto CF camera card. Buy PCMCIA slot adaptor to use card on Amiga. And that's why episode 400 of Keezees is an ADF (not shown).

RIP World Of Spectrum. Fogarty let the domain expire.

Someone (Depmify on Discord) is working on a 2 player online co-op mod for Silent Hill, and they're looking for ideas. #gamedev

Ok, this might be a daft idea but I'm thinking of starting up an art Patreon for 'covers'. Mags, games, comics, maybe even a VHS or two. Oh, and a new alt version of these each month. Vote for what you thought should have been on the cover. That kind of thing.

I'd make Savage Princess 3 a lot less complicated than Ghost Hunters. I think the general consensus with that game is that people like it, until they don't. A big map showing what you've just unlocked would make a great difference, and is easy to implement in MPAGD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMl...

@prototron.bsky.social has just posted a blinder, a new beat em up for the ZX Spectrum that he's been working on. Looks amazing, but he's feeling the burnout on it. Can anyone help him out? #zxspectrum #indiegamedev #gamedev

I won a Gameboy Color on late night C4 show "Bits" BITD. I can find series 1, 4 & 5 on Youtube, but no series 2 or 3. Booo. In the mean time, here's me on their sister show "Vids" (both were filmed in #Glasgow), back when I had hair curtains. I'm at the left back at 7m46s. youtu.be/zyhWKbQhpn4?...

Episode #537 of Keezees is finally up after some 3d modelling mishaps. Need a catch-up? Here's a link to the archive. keezees.com/archive.html #webcomic #comics #indiecomics #comicstrips #Scotland #Glasgow

Tough choice for my favourite Glasgow building between this, the Lion Chambers on Hope Street, the old Linen Bank on the High Street and the BOAC building on Buchanan Street.

Past Glasgow@pastglasgow.co.uk · 3mo ago

The elegant St Vincent Chambers of 1899-1902, known to all and sundry as the Hatrack, designed by James Salmon Jnr who died on this day in 1924. A slender, abundantly glazed Art Nouveau masterpiece with projecting finials on its roof, thought to resemble the pegs of a hatrack #Glasgow #architecture

An old school arcade "speakeasy" fronted by a fake video rental shop, filled with empty boxes for non-existent films like "Tango & Cash 3". Members only. You have to ask for a specific film, and tilting the video opens the door to the arcade.

Take a break from the discourse and quote this with a business you would want to start if you could afford to lose money on it

This GTA: Titanic video is the best thing you'll see today.

Bought this on the off-chance it could help me with WW2 submariner dialogue in Keezees. It surprisingly doesn't need any updated drivers yet, which is a miracle considering it was released in 2005.

Open Blender to use for my comic. Want to create hexagonal backgrounds. Look up tutorial. Uses "Nodes" which aren't on my version of Blender. Uninstall Blender and install new version. Doesn't accept my 8 year old gfx card. And thus, the reason why Keezees has been on this recent hiatus. Ugh.
