Pixels At Dawn

It definitely is Monday. I know how the calendar works

First episode of Old Men Shout @ Cloud podcast is done, not uploaded yet or balanced but will be this week I suspect. Featuring myself and @pixelsatdawn.bsky.social

As someone who owns all the Shine indie rock compilations that shaped my musical taste in my formative years, today is a good day.

not that long back myself, @pinkemma.bsky.social @worldofmrgrey.bsky.social and @pixelsatdawn.bsky.social spent a few days in our friends B&B. Today I asked Lucy to draw is in the style of Raymond Briggs When The Wind Blows. NAILED IT!

Two full tables of Addict mags!

WH Smith memories:

Teenage years: Looking at all the Amiga mags. Usually buying an Amiga Shopper, Amiga Format or CU Amiga. Sometimes even an AUI.

In my forties: Being absolutely delighted to see Amiga Addict magazine in a physical shop and buying it with glee.

Flip screen for me. I've heard flick screen used but flip screen is what was used back in the Spectrum days. You can find plenty of examples of it in the magazines of the day (I checked to make sure I wasn't misremembering!)

Another day, another couple of great magazines for you to get. Silica was basically responsible for me having an Amiga at all!

I think you've played everything I've ever owned at this point. I will vote for Dynamite Dan. Not particularly original but it doesn't include any miners at least.

I bought those on a whim, they weren't even in the original box lol! Sadly the mensch 5 Centres doesn't exist anymore

New magazines a-go-go! And.... onto the next. The print media hamster wheel never ends, you lucky people 😊

Maybe they had a LOT of R Tape Loading errors 😂

1) Amiga or Spectrum or you know, gaming in general
2) Star Trek or just a bunch of sci fi TV
3) Why The Lake District is great
4) 90s UK indie music
5) Modern musicals

Ello

That's why I still watch it today lol

I know of it but I've never seen it

Best children's show ever

You're welcome

A bit of microcomputer action? I need to get in on that!

I really need to sink into some classic dungeon crawlers at some point, I only really discovered the genre in modern times.

This Sunday I return to live football for the first time in a long time. I actually can't remember the last match I went to, it's certainly pre-pandemic. It's a lot more expensive and difficult to buy tickets than I remember... #LiveSport #UTV

That would be cool. I'm sure videos/GIFs will come too and I for one will welcome them 🙂 Lots of legit uses that aren't memes

I heard someone online say that there's not really any good reason why it needs to have Loki in it. I mean Tom Hiddleston is awesome, obviously, but very little of the story is about him being Loki. It could just be someone else. And that's part of why it's so good.
