Another trip around the sun. A few more gray hairs. I try to keep it secret, but thanks anyways.

Question: What details makes pixel graphics look ‘converted’ vs ‘hand pixelled’? I know Floyd–Steinberg dithering, Ordered 4x4 dithering, etc, will give it away, but what other details do you pick up on?

Today, the strangest thing happened. Xcode predictive code completion actually suggested some code (one line, but still) that actually really worked! :)

Testing out a new idea for determining which colors in a palette can be mixed in dithering, looking a distance in luma (Y) and chroma (UV) individually. Just research for now. 128x128, 12bit RGB, 16 colors.

Installing new (old) floppy drive in my #amiga to go through my old disk collection, only to learn 90% have died from read errors. Will reformatting make them usable again, or is this a terminal state?

Importing Lospec palettes directly into Composite is now really simple #lospecdaily

So, I once made a mobile game called Danger Grid. It was my side project for like 6-7 years. It was great fun but also way too much work for one #indiedev. It finally shipped in a 90% finished state, as I could simply not invest more time into it. I often imagine making a sequel though :)

Interpolating colors, sRGB color space vs. LAB. Supposedly HCL is also good for color interpolation, but in my own unscientific research I just think LAB looked better.

Can you merge someone’s personal iCloud storage into a shared iCloud Family storage? And then cancel the personal iCloud. And not losing data/photos in the process obviously :) #Apple

@lospec.com Hi Lospec team. I’m happy to announce that Composite 1.6.0 supports importing Lospec palettes using the ‘slug’ for reference. If you want to include it in the tools section, here is the AppStore link: apps.apple.com/us/app/compo... Cheers!

Almost there - working on support for downloading palettes directly from Lospec.com into Composite #lospec #pixelart

We shall meet again at the nursing home, and fight out C64 ULTIMATE vs. ZX Spectrum Next, and settle it once and for all!

@wearecommodore.bsky.social, any plans for a 1702 Ultimate? You know, like a Checkmate monitor but with more brown :) I'd be happy with 20", 4:3, 50/60hz

On a Mac, what are the 68k #assembler options? I.e. for #Amiga cross development. I used Asm-One back in the day.
