Breaking the web full time. Acorn User magazine alumnus. Made a few arcade games for the BBC Micro, keen to make more. If I can bend time and space however.

Getting a lot of followers this past week. I've been here a while, but left X for good now.
My name is Stephen, and I am a front end developer. Have been for a long time, since Netscape 😱
But I love building retro games. Here's my latest ⬇️

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
CSS-Tricks has a new owner!
Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that.

EL-SAYED: "I get that the President of the United States takes personal offense to my first name - he doesn't mind as much when it's a shared name from the Saudis that are funding his son in laws private equity.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day.
Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.
In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
This year’s Irish Hallowe’en turnip, and a handful of those of from years past (they don’t always make it, if they rot before dessicating)

WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Windsor cinema. Must have been late 70s, very early 80s. Think it was a double feature, as I'm sure there was a short of some kind beforehand. I may have been enjoying my ice cream through that one 🍦
First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people!
Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :)
Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.
According to legend, it’s 31 years to the day since the Financial Times killed one of Britain’s finest poets? They didn’t mean to. It’s just that Gavin Ewart was 79, and the day before they’d bought him a lunch that involved enough booze to fell an ox. A glorious story, but is it true...?
Looks like the RISC OS London show unfortunately coincides with some pretty stormy weather. Given how bad the M25 gets on a Saturday, I'm gonna have to give this year a hard pass.
A shame, as it looks like one of the best shows in many years. Still, there's always ABug South in mid-November 🙏
Right. I'm on a nightbus home. So the law is i have to tell y'all a story.
So let me tell you about the time i ended up drinking with Ray Harryhausen's right-hand animator.
Who we were incorrectly convinced was full of so much shit
Another reminder that the pernicious use of palm oil in everyday products emboldens these companies to burn more of South East Asia.
Reduce the demand for palm oil, stop buying products which use it. Put pressure on governments and companies.
We will all suffer otherwise.
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine.
The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done.
Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"
Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"
When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in.
The joy on their faces says it all.
