No Man’s Sky is such a unique game. It’s been receiving free updates for 10 years now. With the recent Voyager update, it somehow reached the highest online player count in the last 8 years, making a great comeback. I really love this old-school approach to maintaining a game. #nomanssky

I wish robot vacuums could also create a Wi-Fi heatmap of your home, since they already roam around the house and measure Wi-Fi reception levels anyway. And the map would be useful for the robot also, if they lose the connection, they just drive to nearest green point. @xiaomiglobal.bsky.social

İki kat pahalı olmasına karşın, C64ultimate’ın 2 günde eriştiği satış rakamına 2 saatte ulaştı ve devam ediyor. Doğrusu bu kadar ilgi beklemiyordum. Hiçbir kampanya yapmayıp kendi kendine satan ürün yapabilen next ekibini kutlamak lazım

#Andor is great but I'm a little tired of Disney trying to close every plothole in Star Wars with fake patches. Please leave original trilogy alone. You don't have to repair it... It's so obvious, and that parsec patch... Oh man..

Şimdi ben anlamadım bu türkiye #discord yasağı kalktı mı kalkmadı mı? Webden çalışıyor, ama appstoreda uygulaması yok, yani mecbur olan kullansın ama elimizin altında da olmasın gibi birşey mi?

April 23 is one of Turkey’s most important holidays — National Sovereignty Day. It also happens to be the day the ZX Spectrum was released. So for me, it’s a double celebration. Happy 43th birthday, #ZXSpectrum — and I hope you regain your freedom soon, dear Grand National Assembly of Turkey.

internet archive is getting sued by record companies for $700M to stop public's access to old 78rpm vinyl archives, destroying @archive.org in the process. stop this cycle of attacks against libraries.

When you are researching pirates, you want to know more about the man behind it. i can say sid meier was/is my hero, but how did I miss the book? Anyway It’s a late but fine addition to my library :) Great read, I highly recommend it.

No surprises here. I think we could repurpose X as a generative AI trap — a place for brainless trolls and stealth ad threads, so they stay there thinking it’s still full of real people.

Pirates reverse-engineering continues... Graphics are now extracted. The attention to detail is insane: multi-layered interchangeable face sprites, dynamic backgrounds, clothing and hair color variations. All this with BASIC in 87?! This is next-level! This is the AAA of its time. Huge fan.

Twitter marka değerini tamamen yitirdi herhalde, akın akın gidiyor herkes, geride sadece botlar ve "falanca filanca konuda en iyi 10 öneri, başlayalım 1. her gün skimsonik şeyler yapın" gibi içinde kumarhane reklamı geçen threadler falan kaldı.

Trying to reverse-engineer the original Sid Meier's Pirates! C64 code. Written in BASIC, split into 3 parts due to ram constraints. It uses external data files paired with graphics and other assets-spread across two disks, totaling a whopping 232KB. Help is appreciated! :) github.com/ref-xx/Basic...

Twitter haber kaynağı olma özelliğini tamamen yitirmiş görünüyor. Bir haftadır terelelli alakasız bir akış var orda. Tüm aktivite instagrama kaymış. Bluesky’da bile daha fazla içerik buldum. Toplum örgütlenmesini yok etmenin bedeli sadece 40 milyar dolarmış. Amerika için çerez parası.

ZX Spectrum is getting closer to 43 years old. So here is a new chatgpt ghibli creation of Sir Clive holding a ZX Spectrum and riding a C5.

The ultimate IDE for ZX Spectrum development is back with new features and dozens of bug fixes. After Two Long Years, I managed to release one more BasinC Update. It's bumped to 1.8 now. github.com/ref-xx/basinc For installer or portable binaries, follow the link in the readme.

Vay bee, koskoca üniversiteyi düşürdükleri duruma bak... Yazıklar olsun.

Another sad day. Rest in peace David Lynch, thank you for helping us understand the different aspects of movies and being a weirdo of movie industry. You will be missed.

Daron Acemoğlu'nun nobel aldığı teorisine göre, ülkelerin refah seviyeleri, kurumlarının kapsayıcı ya da sömürücü olacak şekilde kurgulanmasına bağlı. Acaba Türkiyede bu bağlamda ne gibi değişiklikler yapılmalı bu konuda düşünen, çalışan insanlar var mı? Zayıflıklarımızı nasıl tespit edebiliriz?

Barely made it :D Just finished this year's snowy zx spectrum mini demo :D As always, social media video compression ruins all the pixels and colors, so here is the tap file if you want to keep it running on your TV whole night :D arda.kisafilm.org/fish/get/ser...

Thanks for all the good times sir, rest in peace.

Steam, this is what I'm here for... Bring data on!

Another #ZXSpectrum game screen update examination! This is famous "Cobra", a masterpiece of coding by Jonathan Smith (aka.Joffa) It's one of the first game to use 4-way pixel based screen scolling. This requires careful timing on spectrum as there is no hardware to scroll the screen or the sprites!

My #ZXSpectrum debugging #emulator (Zex) can analyse how games write to screen by trapping opcodes. This game is starquake, a simple sprite based game, which erases and draws sprites on screen by using a series of LD (HL),A opcode, basically bruteforcing Z80 and RAM. More to come!
