Testing Electron tapes this afternoon (with very limited success) and I guess if I squint hard enough, I guess I could see Geoff Capes there.

When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, what will I be Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what she said to me: No.

I don't think there should be a defibrilator on Snowdon. And that's a hill I'm prepared to die on
Been testing some Amstrad cassettes this evening and some loading screens were definitely better than others.
In the three weeks since I've had my dartboard, my highest score has been 102. The only problem with that is that I was playing 'Round the Board' and was aiming for 3 the whole time.
"80s Arcade Classics". I can let Space Invaders slide as although that was 1978, I'm sure it was it was in plenty of arcades in the 80s too, but nope to Street Fighter II (Plus Football Champ was 1990 too)
I look forward to the grand opening of the first factory, only for it to be wiped out by their own space debris moments later.

I'll never understand this. If PC games are to compete with consoles for my attention, then I need to be able to read the game text from my sofa.

Only took a few photos from my (very) belated birthday trip to the four-floor arcade in Bury as most of the time was spent actually playing the games. Glad I was able to play most of my favourites, but it was a shame that many of the pinball tables had issues and I couldn't play Addams Family.
Now this was cool! Last weekend a visitor came in and typed in this program from memory on our BBC Micro. 👏🏼 What would you program? We’re open 7 days a week during the summer hols so come and explore! 🤩
Going through some Master System games that I've bought recently and getting an extra nostalgia hit looking at some of the included receipts. Although I bought plenty of games from Woolies and Boots, I don't remember my local Rumbelows selling games.
I can't think of a genuine positive use for this feature except maybe to visualise what a golf course would look like as a park.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 2w agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

It's important for me to teach my kids to be independent and self-reliant, because I won't be around forever, especially if I win the lottery
If you're going to use AI for your ads (and you really shouldn't), at least check that it hasn't mangled your company name to give it a whole new meaning.
