I'm sure I've seen that happen in games before and just thought "buggy crap". Now... when it's real life.... wtf? How has that dog glitched out? Are we actually in the matrix after all? 😱

I don't get the point of the spectrum next myself, but the sheer aesthetics of the case are amazingly alluring. It's got that nostalgic-yet-new vibe which I can't help but love. Maybe I need one just to hang on the wall? 🤔

Sweet, more Jaguar goodness!
The Last Strike update:

Testing is proceeding well, a couple of minor tweaks to game play balance and some of the graphics have been made. It is looking very much like we might be at a final build.

Thanks to everyone for all the hard work testing, and all the positive comments!

Quite honestly, who wouldn't? 😆 I've said it before, but the Lynx is an amazing piece of hardware. It could actually render textured polygons in hardware in 1989! Amazing bit of kit.
Thanks to everyone who voted! Looks like I’ll start adding some #programming articles in the future! 👨🏼‍💻👾🕹 #HomebrewGames #AtariLynx

Coffee has been getting some good press recently! ☕

And the actual coffee grounds you throw away contain a higher concentration of antioxidants than the brew. Not nice to eat, mind. Tastes like grit.
Consumption of dark roast coffee brew (500 ml/day) for 1 month caused a 23% reduction in DNA damage which is known to accelerate the aging process and can lead to cancer (randomized controlled trial).

These new #AtariJaguar pro-controllers are great, and with more #amiga / #AtariST mice supported games coming out, the adapter is a must have. #RetroGaming
We've added some Jaguar hardware to the AtariAge Store: the new Jaguar Pro Controllers and Atari ST / Amiga mouse adapters. Several games currently include mouse support, with more coming in the future! #AtariJaguar #Atari #RetroGaming #ClassicGaming

@Link2076 Ahhhh, Devpac! I have very fond memories of coding in Devpac. Always hit Alt+S before running, as there is a good chance my code will kill the system! 😄 MIPS and ARM are also nice. Did some good optimising in ARM on the GBA... conditional opcode execution is cool.

Omg! It gets better. 68000 is, hands down, the best assembly language ever! Very flexible addressing modes make it a joy to program in. I was fluent in 68k by the age of about 14 I think... 😆

If you don't know assembly language, take a look! Knowing a few different assembly languages is something I take for granted, but a lot of people don't know anything about assembler these days.

Wow, that mechanical master time clock is a thing of beauty!! 😍
Recently I was given old mechanical master time clock to convert into a Nixie clock for someone, it turned out really well. So I've found another one, that sits in a glass fronted wooden case, currently no new owner yet 🙂 #Mechanical #clock #Maker #Steampunk #Kinetic #Mancave

Fallout 76 has been so successful that you can now get a CD key for under £10! Now, I can justify spending £10 on it. I couldn't justify the asking price, or even very reduced pre-Christmas price. But now they're virtually giving it away.... it's worth a bash. 😁

Proper nostalgia hit! Gamesmaster, to my young self, was bloody awesome. 😄
Gamesmaster first hit our screens today in 1992, a massive 27 years ago!

First aired in UK on Channel 4, home of @DominikDiamond, Sir Patrick Moore and of course, the Golden Joystick! It was the first British TV show dedicated to gaming!

Just finished reading Breaking the Borders. Fantastic read! So many links between demo coders, places and people I didn't know. Like @CronosWarchild visited Microprose in Tetbury right behind my brothers house, or Argonaut where I worked. Although not at times I was there... 🤘🏻

Very professional! I'm impressed.
To whet your appetite, here are two pictures of the new snap lock case we will be shipping the NEOSD Pro in. Big news very, very soon. Personally I think it looks incredible. Like and RT if you are excited for the Pro model!

Oooh a 260ST. I just dug my original 520ST out of the attic for my display shelf. I found I had 4 of them... 😂 I must stop hoarding.
See you later, alligator!
