48k RAM

Quote with your first computer. I'm very lucky to still have mine -- An Atari 400. My dad built an external keyboard from an 800 kbd mechanism. He also upgraded its RAM to... well.... 48kB. 😁

I joined a new keming dub. I’ve already leamed so much.

You should be able to get the computer you pay thousands of dollars for simply NOT put up screens that your low vision mother cannot navigate.

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

FFS steam, do we need to process the vulkan shaders every single fucking time we launch the game?!?

My day involves a stack of Atari computers, a laser disc player, digitizer, CRT, former Atari employee, and an ultra rare Atari cosmos How’s your day going? 

Updated vertical stand for the RetroTink 4k/CE/6X that now supports both remote sizes. This has been requested ever since the CE model was introduced, so I picked up a 6X and updated the stand to support both remotes. Grab one here: retrofrog.net/products/ret...

This is a long shot, but I'm looking for a TDS3EM Ethernet extension card for a Tektronix TDS3000(B) series oscilloscope like the one shown. I only need it for about a few hours. If anyone in the SF Bay Area has one and willing to loan it or to allow me do my thing at their place, let me know!

No MODTober today. Final day to move out of the old house. Housing stress sucks so so so so so much

#MODtober Day 8 - A demo tune, again! Rink A Dink: Redux - original tune by Nuke, and Redux by Magnar. From the Amiga demo of the same name. Played in XMPlay under Wine on my Linux box. People dunk on XMPlay but I quite like it as a player, myself. demozoo.org/music/59659/

A remix today for #MODtober day 7 - AceMan's excellent remix of Jazzcat's Decrunch 2022-winning MOD "Robotized". Played, today, in ProTracker 2 clone on Linux. www.modules.pl?id=module&mo... Original: demozoo.org/music/314248/

Two-thirds of Americans support Medicare for All. Americans are done with a healthcare system that puts profits before people. Medicare for All can save 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year—turns out, progressive policies can be good politics AND good policy.

#MODtober Day 6 - Back on the PC today with Libertine by Zodiak. From Cascada's 1993 demo Hex Appeal. The tune is, IMO, better than the demo, but as an early PC prod it's still worth watching. Played on AWEMP, a hardware MOD player for the Sound Blaster AWE-32 demozoo.org/music/142374/

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

I got an email from this guy yesterday. He's going to be at PRGE, probably networking and fishing for more interviews. My plea to any developers or industry people he approaches: Please don't accept his requests. Please don't enable hate. Everyone else, please be civil. Preferably just ignore.

Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

Happy Saturday! Today's #MODtober archive post - an #amiga #protracker #chiptune by me from TTE's Amiga production Textual Healing 2 #demoscene <3

I’ve been listening to the @theycreateworlds.bsky.social series on the home computer price wars of the early to mid 1980s and the decision to engage in a race to the bottom on price more or less wrecked Commodore, TI, and Atari; this is not good news for *any* of these AI companies

Hold the backdoor, I need to get my A1200 set up RIGHT NOW! 🔫 🚬

It's well documented that Mac Tonight was the KING of driving dinnertime sales... but did you know that in 1988, select markets handed out MAC MONEY during dinner, redeemable for a free breakfast sandwich on a future visit. These three coins came from that promotion in Ohio/Pennsylvania.

Roguecraft DX is very much for the retro fans. #review #videogame #roguelike

given enough time, the chance of human extinction is actually 100% so

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

Making sure I'm adequately prepared for an upcoming C64 repair job 🤪

With the A.I. companies buying up all of the computer storage these days, I'd like to offer up the solution we used in the 1980's to double our storage for free. You are welcome. #old
