@kari.bsky.socialOne week in and already smashing stretch goals. If you love the Speccy, this one’s for you. Go back Kim’s book!
@kari.bsky.socialIt came with a letter from YouTube asking if I remember my first subscriber, my 100th, my 1,000th... 📜 I do. And I'll definitely remember my 100,000th 🥹 Also a shoutout to Rick, who inspected and packed it with great care 📦 lol
@kari.bsky.social🥈 The Silver Play Button has landed! Two weeks after hitting 100K subscribers (and one very eaten cake later 🎂), it's finally here. Lighter and shinier than I expected! 100,000 of you wanting to watch me code and try to fix old tech still doesn't feel real. Thank you all so much 💿
@kari.bsky.socialJust hit 100,000 subscribers on YouTube... and I'm genuinely lost for words! 🎉 ... So big thanks goes out to all that have watched, commented and shared, and to the retro community as a whole. As without this support we wouldn't have made it here! So excited for what's still to come.🙏
@kari.bsky.socialBehind it: Tony Warriner (Revolution Software, Broken Sword) and Stoo Cambridge (Sensible Software, Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder). Amiga AGA and Mega Drive editions live now, plus PC and ZX Spectrum Next.
Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...
@kari.bsky.socialWho loves physical media and who grew up with a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis? 🎮 ... Got my hands on a pre-release copy of URB-X WARRIORS: The Lost City (16-Bit Edition), live now on Kickstarter. @brazengameplay.bsky.social sent me a custom signed cart with MY NAME on the title screen 🥹 video below!
@kari.bsky.socialIt certainty got my imagination going ... was looking at possibly doing some keycaps (as you just need to flip over once you milled out the bottom, to do the top), but gaming buttons is a great shout (and should work the same way), will have to have a go at some as well :)
@kari.bsky.socialWill be dropping some videos soon :)
@kari.bsky.social... plus wanted to see what detail it could pull off straight out the box🔍, and wow, blown away with the result😊. Can't wait to get stuck into some proper projects next🛠️. On a side note, does anyone know a good source for CNC supplies/ especially aluminium plate in the UK?
@kari.bsky.socialWho else loves new tools?🙋 New toy in the workshop 👀 Just set up the Carvera Air CNC, big thanks to Makera! Can't wait to put it through its paces on some upcoming builds ... What do you think I should make/or fix with this?🛠️ Love to hear your ideas down below👇 #CarveraAir #CNC #ad
@kari.bsky.socialIf you haven't already, and are into retro gaming/computing check out the @thisweekinretro.bsky.social podcast over on YouTube for all the latest retro news. My version of the T2 Pin program I wrote in Turbo Pascal to run on my Atari Portfolio, even gets a mention in this episode. Cheers guys!
@kari.bsky.social... And for those interested in checking out the code, or testing it working on your very own @atari.com Portfolio (if you have one ;) ... I've shared the T2 PIN Program source code, EXE and readme.txt for FREE, for anyone to download over on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/karilawler

Breaking the movie down frame by frame I think I got most of the program worked out. But would love to compare with the original prop, if still around, so if anyone knows which studio made it, I would love to know (maybe @asavage.bsky.social you can help :) @tested.com
@kari.bsky.socialCoding like it's the 90s🎉 ... What was the first programming language you ever learned? ... Had great fun learning #TurboPascal and coding my very own #Terminator2 PIN program that you can see in my very latest YouTube video, link below (cont...)
@kari.bsky.socialEmulation, using DOSBox-X
@kari.bsky.socialNo real challenges, once I found a solution to get it working on my Windows 11 desktop it was a dream to program with. And with the addition of the USB modern take on the memory card, it was just as easy to test on real hardware.
@kari.bsky.social@kari.bsky.social... Check it out! And if you enjoy it, hit subscribe 🔔, I'm nearly at 100k 🚀 and would love to have you on board for everything I've got planned this year 💛✨ youtu.be/yDItCLecx3k
@kari.bsky.socialWhat's everyone's favourite sci-fi movie?🛸 ... 🚨*NEW* YouTube video *JUST DROPPED* where I recreate through some detective🕵️ work the #Terminator2 "EASY MONEY" ATM scene from scratch, in Turbo Pascal 7, on a real 1989 #Atari Portfolio. The exact same hardware John Connor used in the movie💻 (cont...)
@kari.bsky.socialIf I had a warehouse this size, I would still fill it up lol
