I think I've finally (hopefully) sorted out the sound lag issue, so I'm going live now with some random Retroarch gaming, because why the hell not!?

Requests welcome, unless it's Rise of the Robots....πŸ€–

Thanks those who dropped by and reposted and everything! Much appreciated!

Apparently, rewatching the start of the stream, I'm still having a sync issue though...so I'll need to try and work out what is causing that, as it seems like even more of a delay than last week!

Let's try this thing again with my 2nd proper-ish stream! Back with some #RedDeadRedemption2 as we escape the mountain and are more able to explore the world and its weirdness!

9.00pm BST (in about an hour) with the second in a new playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2!

The colour proof of the first ever issue of FREEZE-ZX has *just* landed, and it looks gorgeous!
Hopefully the bulk order of print will arrive this time next week, at which point I’ll start posting out pre-orders.

Yeah, no worries Benchy..Thanks for the repost!

I knew it was a pretty late start, and very short notice! I just thought β€œWhat the hell, lets just do it now” all of a sudden πŸ˜„

No real plan yet. Streams will be a bit random until I find my feet, but at least I’ve jumped in! πŸ™‚

First stream done! Thanks to those who dropped by, shared my posts, etc.

Managed to get out of the mountains so hopefully next time there'll be less chatting from the characters and more from me as we explore the world and it's side missions! πŸ˜‰

Will keep you all posted on the next one!

Barely no sleep, various health issues, excessively hot room and a first ever proper stream with a microphone and everything… what could possibly go wrong!?

Right at the very final stages of tweaking & playtesting our new #ZXSpectrum game, which may well be our final MPAGD platformer.

It's a sequel to one of our first games "Forward to the Past " and I'm almost too scared to release this one, as it's one that's really close to my heart.

Struggling to sleep again so here’s a question I’m going to throw out to you lot….

Do you still a dedicated hi-fi stereo set-up at all? I only ask, because despite the far superior sound quality, I think it’s at least a year since I listened to anything on mine….

RIP George Kooymans, guitarist/vocalist in Golden Earring, and writer of their hit, Twilight Zone.

In the UK though, the band had an earlier, bigger hit with Radar Love....(in which George sings the chorus)....

Unfortunately, more than one… but they’re all elderly Scottish women above 60… which seems to be the target market!

Dunno…I’ve been subscribed for years. Did it as a trial once and then couldn’t go back!

It might be a ploy, but if you watch more than a couple of hours of Youtube a week it is definitely worth it…especially if you use Youtube for listening to music!

picture of Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, and had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

Umberto Eco explains why he has so many books...

Now apply the same logic to why I have so many video games!
