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.

Boosting AMOS Pro with the AMCAF extension! Yes, I finally get around to the installation of this much talked about extension for Amos.
How does the install go? 🤔
Watch to find out. 😅

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.
'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

Researching Pirates, There are 5 unused .win images: Ship, On Fire, Docks, Fort, Rescue (7.6KB total, viewable via PirateView). I’ve contacted Nostalgia (they repacked thegame in 2012). The person behind it is s!r, who’s apparently been planning to put together an info PDF about the game ever since.

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.

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...
