Games shouldn't cost $100. Games should in fact cost £2, come on a cassette tape, only run on a 20kg computer that you could only buy in Britain in the 1980s, and be made over the course of six months by two 19 year-olds known only as "The Whizzy Brothers".

Last minute Christmas present for yourself? You know they'll just send you socks otherwise.

I've got two MicroBeast Z80 kits that can ship immediately. After that, further kits will be sent out after Christmas.

Honestly it's so easy to find real music made by real people that you can champion. Find a record label putting out music you like, find an artist on that label you enjoy, and then look at what bands are supporting them on tour and check out their music. It'll just keep spiralling from there.

Godfrikindamnit. That's been busting my balls. Commenting out one line at a time to get it from 'definitely should work but doesn't' to 'ah, cool works great, but I don't know why'.
Anyhoo, tuning table needs a tweak, but that's full real-time 6 note polyphony.
