After the shower I was craving pot noodle.
Not sure that’s a typical response, but there was some cheapo teriyaki home bargain jobbie pot noodle in the cupboard. Duly demolished.

Remembering Alan Simpson, born #OTD 27 November 1929, who with Ray Galton wrote some of the funniest and ground breaking comedy ever produced. Alan, with Ray at his side, typed every word, with no line committed to paper unless both agreed.

I may have just purchased a 2011 MacBook to install Linux onto.
This is off the back of crying real tears over failing badly to get it on a Tegra ARM powered Acer Chromebook. That was just hell from the start. Gave up and put it to eBay for pennies not to send it to ewaste.

What’s up with TV show presenters talking to an imaginary person/director to the side of the camera instead of talking to the viewer. It’s sodding annoying, noticed it with MasterChef years ago but now it’s spread to Wheeler Dealers, is nothing sacred?

The tape is very tight, will not play and will not free itself from the tension when manually rewinding several times.
Let’s see what is going on inside.

Good morning 😊
Yes, Sir Clive hated that the Spectrum was popular because of the games and a C5 could never go this fast, but I had a lot of fun making this tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair ZX Spectrum 👍

ATTENTION TO ALL MY PRESS AND STREAMING FRIENDS: As we lead in to the release of Demonschool, now is the time to get me on your podcast to talk about things, do interviews, etc. I can talk about things other than my game, but also hopefully my game. Hit me up if you want conversations like the below
Why delay a game that’s nothing like Silksong to avoid its surprise release? Because for indies, there’s just too much riding on each individual launch to chance it. Demonschool creative director @brandon.insertcredit.com explains:
