@jimtrinca.bsky.social Odeon’s Bucket, podcast coming soon?
@crtpixel.bsky.social Ah yes, the good old Net Curtain effect.
@sinclairresearch.bsky.social Well that and a TRS-80, but yes it was a different time!
@sloanysoft.itch.io He’s NUTS about SAVING.
@chrisg.com Aye not quite everything …but SAM and ZX is all I really need! 🤣
@chrisg.com Not yet but it’s on the way. I think they were saying it should be out when the currently in-production (“KS3”) batch of Nexts ship, i.e. hopefully very soon! Quazar does do a Speccy version too, though!
@chrisg.com With your Friendly Neighbourhood @samcoupe.com everything can has RC2014 bus! 😆
@sinclairresearch.bsky.social One could load two games (reassembled to run in upper RAM) at the SAME time! And, say, patch the Game Over routines to swap to the other game each time for INFINITE Speccy fun. (But do see Happy Little Diodes’ video, linked in the Tynemouth article, it’s very good).

@chrisg.com Wayhey! I too built a Tynemouth thing this week
@flatduckrecords.co.uk I’ve set SAM’s “any interrupt” vector to point to a custom routine that checks for incoming serial data and then stuffs it into the edit buffer, as if you’d typed it locally. Not very useful, but kind of interesting?
@theretrochannel.bsky.social Without further ado, it’s time for Adult’s Digital Beverage™
@sonicyoda.neocities.org You just need to style it out with mistakes like that, dab it on like aftershave. Look directly into the imaginary fourth wall and say, “Fresh.”
@colinhoad.com ** quietly weeps in Z80 **
@nightmaremodego.bsky.social As far as I understand, you don’t actually have to be correct to pass, you just have to pick the answers most people pick. E.g. if you exhaustively click every square that has even 1 pixel of motorbike in it, you’ll be technically correct but still fail because most folk don’t. It’s really annoying.
@sinclairresearch.bsky.social If you write the wrong data to the border port, you might just get an unintentional, unreproducible, occasionally alarming fart.
@chrisg.com This is cool, thanks!
@samcoupe.com 👏👏👏
@robmanuel.b3ta.com Oh that’s so familiar. Not “Bug!” (pictured) but something like that.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk I can certainly “sea” why it would!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Four candles? No, handles for cats.
@morefunmakingit.bsky.social Ignore the error and have a look in the Rules channel.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Well I don’t really have plans anyway but thanks!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Hahah, yes thanks. I never said anything it was Zombie Dave.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Nrr, rrrvrr-rrwrr thrrrrk rrrtz rrr lrrrrd rrrrv rrrrrld shrrrrrrt.
