Has there ever been any music that is more beige?

YouTube video by Heart of Neon HEART OF NEON: THANK YOU FOR THE MOOSIC! Interview with Gribbles (a.k.a. Graham Thorpe)

Holy crap. What a brilliant little interview @d0kk.bsky.social has done with musician Graham (Gribbles) Thorpe. Gives you a real feeling of why people respond the way they do to Jeff Minter. youtu.be/GGeoWmPyPak?... #heartofneon #supportindiefilm #videogames #art

Gribbles is a top bloke.

Why… what I miss? (Been off grid a while)

Happy towel day everybody.

I so wanna play that...

Suffering. Slowly recovering from a car smash in Jan. Feel like I’m getting a bit of PTSD as everything’s just getting to me. Can’t even use the ‘puter as the room is being decorated :(

And TV.

I’d be interested in learning cool stuff. Struts have always eluded me so any help with those would be amazing.

Been bingeing Yellowjackets recently and now we’re up to date and have to wait for each new episode. It’s like being back in the old days.

Just a real shame it doesn’t work on macOS :(

We watched Masque of the Red Death recently. Bloody awesome film.

Oh now that is special. It’s actually perfect.

Now that’s what I call fuck this, in big letters, in space.

That there is a fucking masterpiece. I love it.

Have ended up getting a version from about 2 weeks ago which works every single time and then re-adding things one bit at a time saving/testing/backing up as I go.
It's a right royal pain in the arse but I'm getting there slowly but surely.

Was doing exactly the same thing in both macOS and Windows. Uninstalled/reinstalled GM and even rolled back the GM runtime to a previous version but still no luck.

Been having some major issues with my game.
When I was trying to run it the game window appears and then immediately crash out with no error.
If I pull a backup out of Time Machine it would work fine the first time but then crash again on subsequent tries even if nothing had been changed.

Mazogs was the first game I played on the ZX81 and Maziacs was the first I played on the Spectrum.

I’ve been off work since the beginning of Jan after a car smash and now I’ve got a decent puter I’ve finally jumped into this. Loving it so far though I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

Might have to try that one.
Mine of mine that people think is weird is Bacon and Banana. Got to be good quality bacon though not just cheap shit.

So, today it would appear I'm on stupid bug fixing duty. Idiot rookie mistakes are the bane of my dev existence.

Death Ray Manta SE on Steam Death Ray Manta is an arcade game where you shoot lasers to kill bad guys, flash lights at yourself and move to the next screen to do it all over again. Sorry, no T-Rex.

Also, for those that have not experienced the awesomeness that is Death Ray Manta, it can be picked up for less than the cost of a Happy Meal.
- please go check it out on Steam

So I woke up this morning to the first ever write up of my game. Not bad to say it isn't even released yet.
Very kind words indeed from @fishwithlasers.bsky.social who I must confess is one of my influences.
