  1. When you load up your Android retro game console and there's been a Retroarch update that totally fucks everything.

    It's all fucked. All of it. Fucked. Nothing works. All of my settings? Fucked. My directory's? Fucked. My configurations and saves and fucking overlays and shaders? Fucked.

    Kill me. Fucked.

  3. TV ON THE RADIO
    Return To Cookie Mountain
    2023 UK, EUROPE & US reissue

    Some apple pancakes 🥞 and TV On The Radio for breakfast.

    It was a magical thing experiencing this band in real time as they came up in the early 2000’s, and it didn’t take long for everyone in NY to understand that these dudes were THE SHIT.

    Even David Bowie thought so.
    So much that he agreed to appear on this absolute masterpiece (see: “Province”). He is here strictly as a fan, and nothing more.

    This whole record is outstanding, but it is centred around one of the gnsrliest, most badass signature rock songs of the past 20 years in “Wolf Like Me”, a savage, visceral experience that has never lost a bit of its edge, even 2 decades later.

    Those shows I saw were astonishing.

    I remember hearing about Gerard Smith dying of lung cancer.
    Not a good day.

    Incredible band that means a lot to me.

  4. Na YouTubie pojawił się odcinek specjalny Retro-podcastu Informatyka Zakładowego z udziałem Rafała Wiosny, sysopa legendarnego Bajtek BBS. Z zapowiedzi prowadzącego: "Rozmawiamy o historii modemów, o historii modemowania w PRL i wczesnej III RP, o miedzianej infrastrukturze telekomunikacyjnej, o tym, jak wyglądały modemy i dlaczego te nowsze były gorsze, skąd w transmitowanych danych pojawiały się przekłamania i jak sobie z nimi radzono - oraz wiele więcej!"

  5. 🎉 Behold, the miracle of spending 84 days undoing what #Nintendo did decades ago – because apparently, nothing screams productivity like unraveling the mysteries of a pixelated snowboarder. 🙄 Clearly, the collective effort of internet aliases was indispensable, because AI can't match the sheer power of human procrastination. 🕹️

  7. I just got myself a beautiful Greaseweazle V4.1. Here it is next to my trusty, old KryoFlux board. I have a feeling, these two are going to be best friends! 😜

  16. Zookeeper 2 (2025) by Vector5 Games for Commodore 64.

    Match two or more animals to clear puzzle boards, but cages, bubbles, and blue goo all need a different approach. 30 levels, mouse support, and a level code system that’s pure retro. 🦁🐘

  17. B-Breakout (2025) by Haegar of Synergy for Plus/4. Type RUN, wait for the colour RAM to fill, and the ball drops from a random Y position. Move the paddle with joystick port 1, with 5 lives and the wall rebuilt every 50 points. Possibly the shortest breakout variant around.
