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

I’m glad I’m learning Common Lisp instead of something more minimal, or exclusively trying to build my own language. When I find myself needing something again and again, I find that some smarter people than me already built it into Common Lisp, better than I would have done it. #lisp #programming #sofware

Somehow I ended up obsessed with 80s pocket computers. Unfortunately, their weird protocols can make some of them almost impossible to develop for. This project uses the #RaspiPico and no doubt some fantastic use of its PIO, to make a universal interface for a whole lot of them. I need to get a hold of one of these! https://n1ugk.com/2025/12/pocket-computer-universal-interface/ #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

@GossiTheDog I have no idea why reputable organisations and people are still using it. There are plenty of other options, many of which have much more reach and aren’t a cesspit.

@joeress home repairs: curtain rod holders, curtain hangers, chair leg gliders, bike parts, hooks, etc. My house is full of them. It’s worth thinking “can I print it?” before going to the hardware store.
