Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Now, I really don't like Musk. I also really hate Trump. But which one do I dislike the most?

This afternoon’s quick Lego build was the new Mario Kart set. I’m surprised it’s taken so long for Lego to release a range based on this theme. The software update adds new features to Mario. Lots of fun!

I'm now changing up a gear and over the next few days will post some of the finest Xmas video mag game covers of all time - all painted by legendary artist Oli Frey. This was his first, created in 1984 for CRASH. Striking, bold, slightly offbeat, and just festively brilliant.

In Xmas 1986, Oli Frey created one of the all-time great festive video game mag covers for CRASH. This black-and-white ink sketch is painstakingly drawn, packed with details, and not ruined by loads of cover lines. And holy crap - that's £26,000 worth of prizes in today's money!

For those of you who have bought #TheSpectrum we recommend that you track down and use the original roms as it increases compatibility 👍
The ROM image files must be stored in the folder /THESPECTRUM/roms/ on your USB stick. Look at the 4th picture for the Rom names that you will need.

I was amazed that Mrs H gave me the all clear to put my signed framed Pyramid poster from Crash Live next to her signed comedy bits on our stair wall. Not only that but she said she liked it as it gave a nice bit of colour. I still don’t think she’ll turn to Retrogaming, though! 😂

An amazing day out today at Crash Live 2024. Lovely to catch up with old faces & to finally meet industry legends John F Cain (Booty) & Bob Hamilton (Pyramid, Doomsday Castle). Promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything but came away with a framed signed Pyramid poster & Head Over Heels for the Next.

Question for fellow Raspberry Pi users… can you recommend a wireless keyboard that you’ve managed to successfully use with the device? My wife has a Bluetooth keyboard for her iPad but when I try that the Pi OS says it’s connected but the keyboard shows the connecting light & then times out. Thanks!

Loving this place so far. It feels like the early days of Twitter. Having problems verifying my email address, though. No verification code comes through. Nothing in my mailbox or spam folder. Hmmm.
