The kind of character portraits that write their own stories.

A motley crew of NPCs you'll run into in 'Beast City', one of the last cities remaining on Earth after WWIII, where 'screamers' descend into the depths of the bio-monster infested BIAS zone to hunt them for credits and score.

One of the earlier sci-fi/cyberpunk dungeon crawlers I've played.

I've started editing Wikipedia articles to correct or add information, mostly about retro computer stuff as that's all I'm questionably an expert in.

I'd encourage you if you know a lot about a certain topic or are an expert in some field - take an hour of your week to contribute. Our collective knowledge as a species feels like it is under assault from all sides lately.

How Many Phones Sport A 5 And 1/4 Diskette Drive? This One.

"It all started with a sarcastic comment right here on Hackaday.com: ” How many phones do you know that sport a 5 and 1/4 inch diskette drive?” — and [Paul Sanjay] took that personally, or at least thought “Challenge accepted” because he immediately hooked an old Commodore floppy drive to his somewhat-less-old smartphone."

All my #fuzix and #retrcomputing stuff (and train stuff and whatever) as now been migrated from shithub to Codeberg EtchedPixels
I believe that #pi1541 is the worst way to spend money on #c64. It's just fine for recreating real floppies using it with a real 1541. Compatibility much lower than #sd2iec for my experience

I am pleased to announce that the pentagon is now running Fuzix

No.. not that pentagon, the soviet era Spectrum clone 256K and 512K machines.

Another part bites the dust

10MHz Z80 CTC joins the "end of life" brigade.

#Retrcomputing (follow up)

I find myself in the odd situation that by day I lead projects on #augmentedreality and work on topics related to #automatedvehicles but by night I mess around with #retrcomputing kit like #atari #c64 and #zxspectrum . There is something elegant about there elder beasts and seeing how they can be pushed and brought almost into the modern era e.g. via #fujinet
