The deeper cuts on #mixesofalostworld are the most interesting. Favourite so far is the Joycut remix of Drone:NoDrone #thecure open.spotify.com/track/0n4U1M...

Incredible how Nintendo devs could fit Super Mario into 40K given the amount of code and number of levels. Old school coding was different class! *fires up NES*
To get games down into fixed chip sizes, developers had to pull funky stunts. Luckily, some devs working on the NES in 2018 demonstrated the techniques they used to pull it off.

The Atari 520ST was an amazing home computer for many reasons, not least that it had a built in MIDI interface. It was the first computer I used for making music 🩵

Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.
