Wish I could sacrifice a sprite for tokens. Just imagine, 1 8x8 sprite could give you an additional 64 tokens ! One can dream though. #Pico8

This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

I turned it off. Don't need it and want to save power.
BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Few issues at home, but now back on track and things are getting real ;) #Pico8 #GameDev #StarQuake #Remake

Woohoo ! When I'm happy with my map data I can crunch it down from a whopping 1120 tokens, to a rather impressive 160 :) Now that's a saving I'm happy with. Still occupies 15.1Kb of actual chars tho :( #Pico8 #GameDev
