Okay, so Skywatch will label and list accounts that abuse the facet system under Platform Manipulation. I'll make an announcement from the labeler account soon, but there's some additional label reorganization and cleanup that needs to be done first.

This recent game called Hazard: Let Us Out, had a recent successful Kickstarter for the NES, and now it has a #CommanderX16 port!

To get it you buy the NES version and the X16 one is included.

Another cool Sonic update. Mostly. Spends a lot of time discussing the physics of other games, too.

If you don't like hearing negativity about the upcoming X16 GS, you might want to skip the last part. I respect his opinion but don't agree with it.

I worked my BUTT off for this revision of my C coded program: F256Amp that runs on the F256K2 and uses its VS1053b sound chip to its limits.

The main thing I added was a file picker in text mode, that was a bit of a heinous part.

X16 second-gen update. Happy to hear they got Stefany Allaire to design the board for them. One, because she's a great engineer, and two because it feels like putting some old rivalry to rest.

I figure I'll ask everybody, what's the best game or piece of software to get folks "into" the Commander X16 space? I'll tag @commanderx16.bsky.social in case they have any thoughts on this one too. 😃

The OtterX had a fantastic outing at Fond Du Lac. It will definitely be at more shows going forward! My hat off to the trio who made this possible, David "The 8 Bit Guy" Murray who dreamed up and brought the Commander X16 to life, Joe Burk for the OtterX, and David Collins for building this one! 🥳

F256, 2nd wave launched in 2025! What's new with this? I break it down in this video, highlighting the most important changes. Check it out if you like these systems that try to bring back the 80's but don't shy away from bringing modern twists. Also, sale until June 20th! www.youtube.com/watc...

Went to pickup an IBM 5153 monitor locally this morning. The IBM PC just isn't the same without an appropriate monitor! Now to spend some time getting it all up and running.

Cat included for scale.

I'm so concerned for the fate of the hobby electronics industry in the US.

I have friends who run small online shops selling modern hobby retro gear and it feels like, at least for now, it's going to end in short order.

No one can absorb these tariffs.

I originally discovered Nebulus aka Tower Toppler on the #C64 and later enjoyed the EGA DOS version on my PC. Nowadays I mainly play the Mac version with a continued love/hate dynamic. 😀

There's so many versions to enjoy, including an Atari 7800 release. To concur with @logrus.uk, play one of them!

Ah yes, anytime I make a video where I change a cap or a few caps, I always get comments saying I made a mistake not changing every cap.

That is just not how I operate.

Why would I change known good super high quality caps with modern stuff?
