Thanks for any new or current followers :)

BTW - like to repeat that I apologise for any past slop-images I've posted as political attacks. Not to the targets of the images, as I believe they deserved them, but I have become completely offended by Slopart and Slopcode. Its an insult to those effected. Thanks for listening to the rant.

Hello to all the new followers via retro Starter Packs! My main #retrocomputing passion is for the #SAMCoupe, a British #Z80 based home computer released in December 1989 - It's over 33 years I've been developing for it! Since 2020 I've also made hardware for #ZXSpectrum and #RC2014 & compatibles.

@markmoxon.bsky.social I'm not sure but I think somebody is used your work on revs to do a slopware conversion to the spectrum. I am very much not a fan of artificial idiosy personally

I am getting increasingly annoyed with the amount of Slopware appearing. Its an insult to real coders, artists and musicians. Plus the small fact of being environmentally destructive.

Updated eBay link as the previous listing sold out! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11745555... Thanks for your interest and support with the badges/keyrings - the couple pounds made from them all goes back in to all my #retrocomputing projects.

I've now added the discounted bundles of 3 and 5 PCB badges & keyrings to eBay so you can choose your own selections with a discount there too. (£6 individually / £5 each in the 3 pack / £4 each in the 5 pack.) Pack of 3 - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11745554... Pack of 5 - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11745554...

Ending this evening on eBay are some early #SAMCoupe disks, including Tasword Two (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11745557...) and I've other original disks as Buy It Now. Also a lot of SAM Coupe hardware and magazines I produce myself - a lot of SAM software on the coverdisks! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/quazar-s...

Another discounted bundle of all the issues of SAM Revival magazine for the SAM Coupe here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11743866... #samcoupe #magazine #retrogaming #indiedev #retrocomputing #8bit #demoscene #computing

Website update - a brighter look for summer, some space for useful resources, and just a hint of Zorkulator. feersumbeasts.com

Some of us still make them! I started 'SAM Revival' for the SAM Coupé back in 2002 as just a mono laser printed magazine. It's evolved over the years, now being full colour professionally printed. I still feature real physical cover disks! www.samcoupe.com #samcoupe #retrogaming #indiedev #8bit

What a great looking card in @flatduckrecords.co.uk's jukebox! I've listed the SAA1099P Soundcard (for RC2014/RCbus/compatibles) on eBay with a few pounds off and a few pounds to charity. The little SAM Coupe PCB on the soundcard is also available as a badge. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/quazar-s...

I seem to be interested in cartridges decades after they were cool! 😁 In 2019 I made an interface to use the ZX Spectrum ROM Cartridges on the SAM Coupe, following that later in 2022 with an interface to use VIC-20 ROM Cartridges on the SAM as well. www.samcoupe.com #SAMCoupe #ZXSpectrum #VIC20

'This Was Me' was released this month in 2021, recorded as a duet with Richard E. Grant for the soundtrack of 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie' - written by Dan Gillespie Sells and Tom MacRae. Here I am performing it live at Ancienne Belgique in 2023! ✨

Did you know there was a camouflage painted SAM Coupe lurking at SAMCo's HQ in 1991/2? (Thanks DL for the anecdote!) Grab a limited edition Printed Circuit Board pin badge of it (+other #8bit style badges!) to help support what I do for SAM! www.samcoupe.com/quickshop.htm #retrogaming #indiedev

I'm no stranger to doing odd jobs. I've been a phonesex operator, a lesbian escort, a construction worker (cement mixing), secretary, magazine illustrator. I studied Medicine. But the one thing I know how to do well is game art. I have a passion for it and 21 years under my belt. I wanna work ❤️‍🩹

Hey. It's my birthday today. It would be a great present if I was asked to art direct another game soon. I'm broke and desperate. My rates are standard for a senior artist, I'm fluent in all 2D art pipelines, and I ship games.

Not one for American date formats - but yes, 9/25 sounds an ideal tribute date.

Dolly Parton? Bloody heck!

Well the crazyness has gone from earlier this month - but this is still a lively track: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj5L...

I'm Christina I've been a professional illustrator since 2005 and a specialist game artist/ art director since 2009. I've worked for Mojang (on Minecraft), Netflix Games, WB Games I've been unemployed for 8+ months. I'm tired of rejection letters. Please help me find a paying project #gamedev

just so tired

I've recently launched an expansion interface for @lockfarm.bsky.social 's MicroBeast to give it 3 RC expansion slots. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11728065... Interface in action with my RC Soundcards on a MicroBeast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKDK...

Why isn’t my content more popular? Personally I blame the Illuminati and you don’t want those buggers to win do you? #RetroComputing #RetroGaming #ShareAndEnjoy makertube.net/c/reenthused... www.youtube.com/@reenthused

So, Bluesky nuked my account. No email to tell me why or anything. Please share, so I can find everyone again. Thanks.

Not seen it for ages, but just watched the Tatu video for All about us, uncensored version. Wow catchy song but what a violent ending! Nsfw etc.

Ok. This will explain what happened, why, and what I have done to make sure it (probably) wont ever happen again.

I do like how some spamming email services give you a chance to turn off fathers day etc emails - just with the rest of social gave you a chance to block all that irrelevent stuff as well

Ok. I am gutted and really sorry to say that the servers are all gone. Over 1600 members on RHD and some lowlife deleted it forever with a click. Also stole a bunch of money from my account. I will make an update video and post that here when I get home. Whatever happens we are going to rebuild.

🚨 Events! (Short notice!) I'll be at @retrocomputermuseum.co.uk Legendary Gathering (Leicester) TOMORROW 20th June! then at @computinghistory.org.uk "Synthesized" (Cambridge) on Saturday 27th June! #samcoupe #retrocomputing #retrogaming

spoiler free review of Masters of the Universe. Not bad. I enjoyed it enough.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

I’ve updated this a bit! It should now support larger programs, with many variables. It will now more safely roll-over into SAM’s additional memory if needed, but also “reclaim” the memory used for Spectrum variables once they’ve been processed. Thanks for the feedback!
