@losttourist.social.chatty.monster.ap.brid.gyOMG Danni is unremittingly upbeat and cheerful.
And she restores #Retrocomputers for fun and is baking biscuits "with flavours inspired by cyanide".
She's somewhere here on Fedi, surely. If not, someone get her here PDQ! #GBBO
@kevintoms.bsky.socialFootball Manager was still a Top 10 game for the VIC 20 - even as late as July 1985!
How many of you enjoyed playing my game on this machine?

@kevintoms.bsky.socialThe QL is best remembered as a technologically robust machine that nevertheless did not appeal to the market it was expected to tap into.
