Well Evri delivered and I now own a cheapish Analogue Pocket, my plan is to get some adapters to play the old Gamegear, NGP carts I’ve owned forever and never played and obs some PCEngine/GB/GBC/GBA games too.
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! 🤩
Personally I think there are "legitimate questions" about COVID. Like why Michael Gove and Matt Hancock got away with giving away contracts to their mates. And why the fuck Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman haven't been prosecuted.
Spider-Man has been booked at the nice and early time of 10:15am. Sitting in a busy theatre isn’t my favourite pastime, so the quieter the better.
I just watched The Long Walk (2025), grim brilliance. A road movie like no other I’ve seen. (WTF is wrong with streaming services trying to actively stop the credits roll, this is the time I start to process what I’ve seen.)

I love people that do stuff because they can. This is a fascinating read about getting a Tetris like game on an old obscure BBC Z80 powered Bridge Computer.

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
For 1981, Outworld is a proper colourful game for the Vic20 and it’s full of music and fx too. Great vid as always.

Even NINTENDO THEMSELVES called it "Zelda III" before launch, right there on the console's box
Bill Mudron@mudron.bsky.social · 2w agoSo weird seeing younger folks insisting that no one ever referred to A Link to the Past as “Zelda III” before it was released (these same people don’t seem to understand how makeshift names for sequels are embraced by fans before those sequels get an official title).
New PicoIDE update on Crowd Supply! Injection mold samples! And announcing the Open Retro Storage Front Panel project, which explains why the samples say "BlueSCSI" instead of "PicoIDE." www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

Everything about this story is wonderful, from the activist group’s name to the surgical vandalism to the not-so-subtle nod to the classic ”They Live”, John Carpenter’s 1988 film…

Nice to walk at 9pm in 15c temps for a change. The dog agrees too.
After seeing the Alpine A290 in The Running Man (2025) it was interesting to see one in the Leisure Centre carpark. There’s lots of Renault 5 E-Techs around here, but I didn’t expect to see one of these so close watching the film.
