Doom Guy is worth a read, John Romero’s childhood is heartbreaking and he seems like a genuinely kind person. He seemed lovely when I met him too!

Microsoft removing local user accounts and putting adverts in the start menu should tell you everything you need to know about their opinion of their users. If they want to maintain their market share they will have to roll this crap back, but I guess right now it’s too profitable

I had a C64C growing up, but an original 1541 disk drive. At some point between now and back then the 1541 got traded for a 1541-II, which I regret. I have an affinity for both styles - tough choice!
