@dosnostalgic Many years ago, I remember Zone 66 having a broken second episode so you couldn't actually finish it- was that ever patched/fixed, or am I remembering that wrong?

@shadsy I sent an email to the VGHF info address earlier this week- is that the best way to get in touch if I have items I think the VGHF would like? Thanks!

This and the follow-up post about competitive #tetris are deeply fascinating reads on how the #tetris #nes scene has evolved.

@Pullingaclaudia Do you break out holiday orbs this time of year, or are you a one orb kinda person?

@foone @dosnostalgic This sounds amazing for #dos #retrocomputing- DOS device driver that allows you to access a remote disk image on another machine as if it were locally mounted with a drive letter.

Wow- this whole set of bugs on Twitter around things that could be used for phishing is bonkers: https://nitter.net/1lexxi/status/1731427821946364000#m #twitter #cybersecurity

@artandtechnic Here's a still from a VHS capture I did. What is that band of noise at the very bottom (approximately 4-8 pixels tall, and doesn't seem to be tape-specific as it shows up regularly), and what's the best approach to getting rid of it? Thanks

@dosnostalgic Have you read any #dosgaming novelizations? I found a Descent trilogy once and read it. I've got some of the #doom books (from Doom/Doom 2 era,) as well. Also read Planetfall despite never having played the game- enjoyable read.

Thanks to the magic of #SDL2, #BennuGD2 and #SameBoy, we will start porting to #NintendoSwitch some AMAZING #GameBoy homebrew games in the next months! 🥳

What you see below is a quick example of what could we do with this game engine...)

Was kinda thinking of buying a Minolta PS7000 book scanner, because I saw one close enough for local pick up and at a decent price w/ everything, but then got to the brochure which says Power: within 1000w (the fact that it's only supported on Win95/98/NT not an issue).

Just finished "Sid Meier's Memoir!", and it's fantastic. Gives a lot of insight into his #gamedev & #gamedesign process, and being very informative of the history going on around him. Lots of fascinating tidbits, like there never was a Gandhi nuclear weapon bug- this was an urban legend invented in 2012. Highly recommend! #bookstodon

@Teri_Kanefield What do you make of the report that Trump ran from the court room unexpectedly, and then returned later? Does this have any actual bearing on the case or just an oddity?

@mcc Thought you might be interested to learn of this.

@mcc Thought you'd be interested in this web interface for Mastodon - it's doing really cool things around threading among other features.

@ChrisO_wiki Would you be able to put a hashtag on the first post of your threads so folks who follow me can easily filter the posts if they need to? Thanks

@ashley @Thorsted not sure if either of you are into floppy/disk formats, or preserving old ones, but if so, you should really join the Applesauce Discord- so much off-beat/unusual/strange formats & disks show up there. Just watched a Brother word processor disk image go from "hey, any ideas how to dump these Brother word processor disks" to "I think I've figured out the file system- does this match what you see?"

@hacks4pancakes Do you use Spectrum? If so, this sounds like your issues.

@dosnostalgic Not sure if I shared this before, but my #dosgaming project I finished earlier this year: https://archive.org/details/Fataldistract I put up playable versions of all the games from the book of DOS games Fatal Distractions.
