A "durak" named Petar Pandurov has made it a mission to report me for spamming, every single time I post on Facebook about #FujiNet across groups.

I just can't fucking win.

People fucking suck.

#FujiNet is a #retrocomputing #retrogaming community built around a new type of network adapter.
The hardware connects.
The firmware gives a common heart.
The software gives us all something to do.
something for one platform, is for all

It's contingent on all of us wrkng together 2 make it last.

I am genuinely confused.

There has been a consistent stream of #Intellivision games, and I have been trying to reach out to developers, but I can't get anyone to even so much as ask a question, or to see how they could help get #FujiNet to the Intellivision. WTH?

What does it take for 640k of RAM on a #pcjr with IBM sidecars? Five of them. One for extra power, and 4 128k RAM expansions.

It's extremely frustrating when I am ACTUALLY showing a #PCjr doing ACTUAL network things with #FujiNet, and I get maybe 100 views, and I see stupid shit like THIS:

FML.

Working on #msdos port of #fujinet battleship, viewing charset on #pcjr over network while hacking on the code in #emacs.

#fujinet makes #retrocomputing and #retrogaming #gamedev even better.

After months of work from @fozztexx and @nwah, #FujiNet for #MSX can now start booting ROMs from the Internet!

Great job all around!

I needed a tile editor for doing our MS-DOS #gamedev.

I decided to make one that could send its data using a #FujiNet attached to my #PCjr, to my dev system.

Help needed to port #FujiNet Battleship to:

#Atari8Bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #MSDOS #C64 #Plus4 #VIC20

Code is here:
[email protected]:FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-battleship.git

Code can also be borrowed from:
github.com/FujiNetWIFI/...

Can you help?

The point of #FujiNet is to add modern connectivity to #retrocomputing and #retrogaming; to bring people together.

We've accomplished the first part; people really aren't getting the last part, and it's frustrating.

I wish I could've of the few to work in an R&D group, writing qubits of quantum code. (I have.)

Wish I could have my laser focus AuDHD on something capitally-viable.

But I wasn't. So here I am, middle-aged, unbelievably depressed, and crippled by ADHD paralysis.

Turns out one of the horsemen of late stage capitalism is that bad movies are being walled off onto the streaming networks.

Is there _ANYONE_ who is using #arch and has installed ffmpeg-ndi in the last month? It will no longer build with current glslang, and it has blown a big hole in my entire OBS workflow, and the pkg maintainer couldn't be $()#@ bothered.

I tried a "Twinkie Wiener Sandwich"

Very odd, but, It actually works. Sweet and salty.

Does anyone want to adapt #FujiNet 5 Card Stud Poker to work on the #vic20?

There are now 3 #FujiNet Game lobby games, for #TRS80CoCo:

Fujitzee, 5 Card Stud, and Battleship!

TNFS://EC.TNFS.IO/COCO/LOBBY.DSK

Cross Platform Networked Gameplay!

For #TRS80CoCo #FujiNet users running 1.5.1 Firmware

1. Edit EC.TNFS.IO into a host slot
2. mount /coco/lobby.dsk
3. RUNM"LOBBY"

The next firmware release will integrate it into CONFIG like all other platforms.

Enjoy!

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!
