I just picked up this copy of the European budget release of The Secret of Monkey Island. The gold embossing is gorgeous in person, and the Dial-A-Pirate code wheel is intact!

This Star Trek IV scene always cracks me up. I just learned it was going to be an Amiga computer but the square-head vendor didn't want to lease it, instead he wanted a sale #facepalm #retro #retrocomputing

I've found my old robot animation made in early 1994 and ray traced with transputer. The walk cycle was reasonable, but now I see the hands jump. I've uploaded it to my git. github.com/nanochess/tr... #retro #retrocomputing

Do you want to see how looked a BBS in Mexico in 1993? I found a 64 kilobytes captured session 😀 #retro #retrocomputing nanochess.org/la_cueva_bbs...

Some more of these 1990's GIF, scaled and converted for your viewing pleasure. #retro #retrocomputing

Found in my old disks. This VGA image blow my mind away in the early 90s. CLOWN.GIF A real picture in only 320x200 pixels and 256 colors. Someone did an excellent quantization of the image. I got my copy from a guy in a long-gone computer store. I've scaled it for proper display. #retro

I could make a whole sub-bot based just on programming books with dragons on the cover. (Source.)

The cover to "Programming Your Own Adventure Games in Pascal" by Richard C. Vile, Jr.  In the distance, a castle appears.  In the mid-ground, a red dragon blocks the path to the castle; nearby, an Indiana Jones-type character shoots at the attacking dragon.

Did you steal the Internet? Bad boy! Do it better next time. Are you hacking other countries? Things happen! Are you throttling AI down the throat of your customers? Entrepreneurial spirit!

A symptom of our times when the top leader doesn't follow the law or bends it, all subordinates play along. The bad apple infects all. And this extends to companies, tacit approval for anything.

Yesterday, Gmail started displaying me badly done Gemini-summary versions of my received mail. Of course without asking me for permission. It is wonderful that I considered immediately for the first time in 20 years getting out of Gmail. #youhadonejob

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos:

I decided to buy less retro, but a wild Tandy CoCo 3 appeared! Nice price and I only had to reseat some chips. Now if I could find one of my two games books for Coco... #retro #retrogaming #Tandy #coco

Do you remember my DJGPP port of my transputer C compiler? I thought all the work was done, and maybe I could compile it in a Macbook Air. I was very wrong. Enjoy my trip porting it to 64-bit!!! #retro #transputer nanochess.org/transputer_c...

I finally got my own set of Harry Potter books. 🤓✌🏻 #books #harrypotter

I've been watching the Sherlock TV series, and I just noticed that Avengers Infinity War made a nod to it with Benedict Cumberbatch moving the head in the same funny way.
