Oldschool portable gaming. “Rogue” is still really fun - I can see why it spawned a whole genre that is still thriving today, despite the terrible interface (key bindings keep changing depending on how many objects are in the inventory) and basic graphics. #gaming #retro #retrogaming

“Rogue” is a surprisingly fun game in 2026 - it’s the originator of a huge number of video game mechanics which are everywhere today. #gaming #retro #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

Headsup for anyone who wants to use Lisp but hasn’t spent their whole life learning emacs. There’s a new editor called Mine which works like a modern IDE and has the expected key bindings, but has as tight an integration with the REPL as you’d expect from something more arcane. It even has tutorials. 5/5. #lisp #programming #softwaredevelopment

My Lisp interpreter, on the oldest computer I have that can run Python. Now with macros. This means that the language can be easily tweaked without modifying the interpreters: I added “if” and looping on top of the language. Lisp macros are ridiculously powerful; I hear Rust has something approaching it, which would really sell that language for me. #lisp #rust #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #python #programming

I made an iOS app to play ambient nature sounds to put me to sleep, because I couldn’t find a totally free one. Which turned into a hobby of going to beautiful places with a second-hand pro audio recorder. I just added a desert soundscape. It’s called “Chill Soundscapes” https://apps.apple.com/de/app/chill-soundscapes/id6465749504 . #nature #audio #asmr #insomnia #sleep

90s HP 200LX (80186 1MB RAM) + open source hardware #MNT Pocket Reform. I’m glad someone is still thinking of this form factor: very small but still usable for software development. #retrocomputing #retro #opensource #hardware

Tinylisp language written in the 2020s, compiled and running on a 90s pocket computer. Now this computer can run any software I write in Lisp (until runs out of memory). #vintagecomputer #retro #lisp #opensource #software

The programming language of the gods running on a 90s calculator, thanks to the tinylisp project #lisp #vintagecomputer #retro #programming #retrocomputer

I made this app because there was no free ambient nature sound app, and I wanted one to help me sleep. And then it became a hobby to go out and record the sounds. You really notice that human noise pollution is almost everywhere when you try to take nature recordings. The app is called “Chill Soundscapes” in the App Store. You can also disable the spinnt carousel animation and use accessible controls. #appdevelopment #swift #ios #audio #nature #recording

I finally got a machine with a disk drive, so I can run my old programming demos from when I was a teenager. Here’s an x86 real-mode 0x13 voxel landscape engine written in assembly and C, running on a 486 laptop. #retrocomputing #programming #c #assemblylanguage #software
