bsky.app/starter-pack... re-posting my starter pack full of retro computing people. You may have followed the people within a few days ago, but I kept adding to it so it's worth revisiting and adding the rest, including Macintosh Game Dev "royalty" John Calhoun, author of Glider, Glypha, Pararena

Big milestone for my 6502 based Wildbits/K2. My C programming project, non-vibed, old school perseverance and learning. I made a multi-music file player with the cute mascot "Whiskers". Uses all 5 sound chips of the system: SID, OPL3, PSG, MP3, MIDI. 2 years to get to this point!
