A fellow Manic Miner (C64) & Lemmings finisher myself โœŠ Eugeneโ€™s Lair was my most hated level.

Wonderful! Totally my thing for those early games before the โ€˜mainstreamโ€™. Canโ€™t beat a bit of Radar Rat Race, Sea Wolf or Heroes of Karn.

A genius and legend.

He was perfect and amazing on Man Down with Greg Davies.

One of the only reasons I use social media for the retro gaming pr0n.

One of my older treasuresโ€ฆ

We need more of this!

Might add a C64 to the Technology Roadmap Iโ€™m doing at the moment. Might look a little odd next to Azure Cloud and iPaaS, but hey!

See! This version is pretty cute vs the original horror from the depths of hell

Wonder if the WachowSKIS, during their childhood, were fans of Hungry Horace... ๐Ÿ˜ถ

One things thatโ€™s baffled me (as well him creeping me out in general since I was a child) is how/why is he Hungry?

Because he has no mouth and canโ€™t eat or he doesnโ€™t need to eat because he has no mouth?

It was the article I saw about US plugging Grok into Pentagon networks (Google AI is already in there).

Have they not read the script of Terminator and other sci-fi stories. This is the ONE fictional milestone that leads to this ๐Ÿค–

Great article and loved the fright factor described.

I recall the apprehension of hearing the monster footsteps before seeing them and that building fear. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Was my favourite Amiga game and help define my love for RPGs that started with C64 Bards Tale followed by Eye of the Beholder etc.

If anyone has seen the film #Valkyrie, I wonder if similar is happening in the US at the momentโ€ฆ

Unsure of the context here but an example of where this isnโ€™t the case? seems the be the C64U Starlight keyboard thing. Or is this what youโ€™re referring to?

I recall seeing a video late last year, before shipments started, showing a level of flex. Always can improve comms though.

Thanks for the update and confirmation on the production tweaks to address this.

Given the nature of innovation, a 1% issue rate overall isnโ€™t bad. I hope thereโ€™s no table flipping with customer service looking to resolve for those impacted.

Canโ€™t wait for mine in a month or twoโ€™ish.

Itโ€™s amazing the level of venom people experience through internet platforms. Giving people with poor values the opportunity to multiply their inappropriate behaviour and push it to others without consequence.

Live life by one simple rule and the world would be betterโ€ฆ Donโ€™t be a dick.

Indeed. Baffled how anyone, regardless of who they support, can believe the garbage thatโ€™s ejected from this guys mouth.

Heโ€™s the ultimate random generator of words. Dragging the US down and the rest of the world into a more toxic era.

Live by one simple ruleโ€ฆ

Donโ€™t be a dick.

Loved Angband. Although found Zangband after that and lost months of my life to that.

Most annoying social media thing so far in #2026 alreadyโ€ฆ

People #spinning shit on social media videos.

Onions, carrots, anything theyโ€™re cutting up.

The Commodore 64 Ultimate Is an Authentic Re-Creation for Die-Hard Fans The reborn Commodore 64 is an astonishing remakeโ€”but daunting if you werenโ€™t there the first time around.

"The Commodore 64 Ultimate really is an exceptional piece of kit. Itโ€™s a beautifully crafted love letter to the groundbreaking original, and a reminder that thereโ€™s a different way of doing things on a computer."

Thank you @wired.com!

Is beer not around 90% water. So, be on the safe side and have a few pints ๐Ÿป

Congrats!

Awaiting my Starlight in the New Year and canโ€™t wait.

Had Elite with my original C64 but it would never save the game, so ended up having marathon sessions. Hopefully this time around Iโ€™ll be able to save. o7

A vertical synthwave-style poster featuring the words 'DIGITAL GRID' in large, metallic chrome lettering at the top. A bright yellow and orange segmented sun sits in the center against a deep purple gradient background. Below, a neon blue and purple perspective grid stretches into the distance, overlaid with the text 'QUANTUM DREAMS' in a glowing neon cyan outline font.

Maybe a few molecules of chocolate in the box to give a waft of chocolate when itโ€™s opened.
