TLDR; I sport, code, make stuff, and play adventure games.

"The ANT+ logo on the Fly6 Gen3 packaging is a legacy design element. While the device has the hardware to support ANT+ and we included the logo to comply with global radio regulations, the feature was not ultimately enabled in this model. We sincerely apologise for any confusion this may have caused."

I finally did it... it's done.... Quantum Witch is out now!
It's a choose-your-own-adventure where choice matters (no, it REALLY does, to an alarming degree!) and there are multiple stories to unlock as you replay it.
I hope you enjoy it β€οΈ
We're going to play a few more hours of The Longest, the Longest Journey at 1900 BST this evening.

When I started this game, my knees still worked.
There is now a free open self-hostable Fediverse trail recorder called Wanderer. You can upload GPS data directly and it also lets you import your data from Strava and Komoot.
Wanderer is federated through ActivityPub so Wanderer servers can connect to other Wanderer servers and Mastodon etc servers too. More info at the official website:

People used to ask βWhat if they held a war, and nobody came?β like they thought it was a witty way to talk about ending war.
All wars are like that, now. The combatants stay home and project their consciousnesses onto the war zone.
Itβs only those of us who were already here that suffer and die.
"Open a PR and do it yourself."
You don't want me doing that.
I probably can. It'll take me a while.
What you want me doing is what I'm much, *much* better at doing.
Building stuff, showing off, enthusing, and teaching.
If you cheekily ask me for my one future #scummvm feature, it would be the ability to output multiple audio output drivers simultaneously.
I would really like to be able to play a single play through with both the Adlib and MIDI audio enabled at the same time.
There are other configurations I would like (such as being able to run mutliple MIDI outputs with different modes), but that one .. that one would really, really be a happy place for now. I would be super happy with General MIDI + Adlib, or MT-32 + Adlib (where games do both). That would open up a whole range of new possibilities.
Being the ability to support all the devices is excellent, but only outputting to one type of device ... we're so close to audio chaos.
Just played through the KQ1 remake (the 1990 SCI verison, not the modern fan remake) with the FB-01 audio.
I'm surprised by how much the FB-01 audio adds to the game. The first version of KQ1 I played was the AGI version with /just/ a PC speaker.
And to be honest, it sucked. I enjoyed the later titles, but I really didn't get the atmosphere of the first few games.
Having good audio is really part of the experience for me. I've played KQ1 since, both AGI and SCI with MT-32 audio and I think OPL3 audio, but going back and playing with the FB-01 audio has been a very pleasant experience, and a nice brain break.
Still five points off a perfect score.
Excepts from a hymn text I love to sing by David Bjorlin
Build a longer table, not a higher wall,
feeding those who hunger, making room for all.
Build a safer refuge, not a larger jail;
where the weak find shelter, mercy will not fail.
Build a broader doorway, not a longer fence.
Love protects all people, sparing no expense.
So must our tables welcome those who roam.
None can be excluded; all must find a home.
