Happy Friday everyone! Fancy a brand new #ZXSpectrum game to get your teeth into this weekend?
Well let me help you out: welcome to Castle Rooj!
Roojliek is a classic ASCII rogue-like for the 48K ZX Spectrum, can you survive long enough to escape?

Retired the 3B+ from active home server duty today, a mini PC has taken over that role.
This will now be repurposed for Amibian and other fun stuff.

Pressing on with the #ZXSpectrum A to Z tonight, we're up to the letter G!
I've changed things up a bit now, no more pre-selected lists.
Let's see what pain awaits me 8pm GMT on twitch!

Had the Spectranet for about 8 months now and been using my Pi as a ether->wireless bridge, was reluctant to get one of these dedicated bridges in case it didnt work but I am so glad I have finally bitten the bullet - the performance difference is VERY noticeable!

Sometimes procrastination is not the way. Just stabbed myself in the dick with a finger nail I've been meaning to cut for days now 😒

It is definitely time we went wireless, having to use my Pi as a network bridge is a pain in the arsehole.
"The device automatically checks for updates and new features over time. Receive firmware improvements, bug fixes, and new capabilities without manual intervention." This irks me though.
