I am an ox that makes games and lightsynths. Recreational shepherd. Carmarthenshire. I like #coding, #gaming, #retrogames, #fur (fake of course), #beer, #curry, #plushies, #Floyd, #sheep, #Defaidodon, #Wales, oh I'm sure I shall think to add more. Ought to put #Atari there too I suppose.

It had to: - transport two farmers - have enough headroom for those farmers to wear hats - have controls laid out so it could be driven while wearing clogs - carry 100kg of potatoes and a cask of wine OR - two adult rams 🐏🐏 or three goats 🐐🐐🐐 AND - transport a basket of eggs across a ploughed field without breaking any WHILE - being capable of travelling at 50kph using 3L of fuel per 100km. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 it's weird looking at all these toasters. So many of them have so many pointless "functions" you'll never use. I swear if someone launched a model that featured "deep slots" and just had reliable basic toasting ability they'd sell loads, because what most people want is nicely done toast without the top of the bread peeping out the top of the toaster. BIG ENOUGH FOR BREAD. That's all the marketing they'd need. But nobody does it. Weird. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Does he qualify for absolute unithood? https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/809/377/196/692/830/original/94b883647a6c1b99.jpg npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Morning Sheep Time #Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon #sheep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtiLSeSuUJY npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 My watch just complimented me on reaching my daily activity goal. Which is fine if you consider drinking beer and eating Spanish omelette a valid activity I guess. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Ate a snack size Lion Bar. 🦁 Isn't *any* size Lion Bar snack-sized though? It's still a snack, it's not like a Lion Bar is your entire dinner. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 THIS PICTURE HURTS MY SOUL 🐂🐂 https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/710/717/451/519/564/original/926cda006c22b218.png npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Watched THX-1138. Noticed "Synanon" thanked in the credits lol npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Reflection https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/645/235/555/870/184/original/6fa4db1c759963e7.jpg npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 What's the perceived etiquette on boosting your own stuff? I see some do it but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so myself, I don't think anything I say warrants a "HEY JUST I CASE YOU MISSED IT" repoke. If anyone is actually interested in the shit I say they'll find it anyway. Maybe during a significant game launch I'd do it? I dunno. 🐂 npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 The ears have arrived https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/546/757/111/035/318/original/dc9c589722ae9fe2.jpg npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Gratuitous picture of sheep - it's Skippy! https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/427/670/938/322/726/original/22d677c74961dea4.jpg npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 so who makes a decent laptop these days? Looking for something that can run lightsynth so if I go out to do any shows with it I don't have to take my dev rig. Light and convenient would be good, and not stupid expensive (yes I know not all these things may be true all together)... npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Such a pretty llama. https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/269/652/914/337/214/original/4fc9cda7ba58fb43.jpg npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 A closer look at a bull control panel. 🐂 https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/139/946/832/601/084/original/e23934ab8288c30b.png npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 I think one of the main things the grid games brought to the Centipede formula was bum-clenching. Having to keep track of the rhythm of the zappers whilst trying to deal with a bunch of flying segments was cause for a bit of a pucker. And getting caught out by the bloody Snitch in Matrix, what a smeghead. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 I absolutely loved what Digital Eclipse did with the Atari 50 archive, so to have them give the same treatment to me, to Llamasoft, has been absolutely incredible. I've had a bunch of archive stuff knocking around for years and had thought one day it'd be cool to maybe make a website or something with some of that stuff on, but to have it presented like this, with so much playable stuff and so beautifully put together is more than I could have ever hoped for. So glad to see people enjoying it 🐂 npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 And here is the source code for Llamatron and a few other bits and bobs. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kpoc3gkjc86mixzo99nde/Llamatron-source-disk-contents.zip?rlkey=bdg1shmq85xxwbl7qiyc6tl68&dl=0 npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Oh for fuck's sake. My heart sinks when someone posts a link to an article, you go to read it and after a few lines the text starts to fade out. You just know a "sign up to read the rest of this article" thing is going to scroll into view. Fuck off with that shite. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 🐂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZhEVNNHYDM npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Current cold stage: yesterday's cough has turned into a different kind of cough. Honestly I go out for a nice weekend for the first time in ages and end up feeling like a variety of types of smeg for ages afterwards. Makes me wonder if I ought to just go back to being as much of a hermit as possible :/ npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 I do need to get on with some audio design too at some point, as at the moment it's still playing the Porco Dio song I made to try out the sequencer that was the first thing I made for this game, even before a drop of graphics code. Key parts of the game need good audio cueing too, I'm sure it'll start to feel even better with that in. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Hardware progress in the early days was just bonkers. You just expected giant strides all the time because that's what routinely happened. Just brain-smashing chunks of increase in capability inevitably, endlessly, for years. One year you're on a ZX80. A blip of time and it's a C64. A couple of Christmases and it's an Amiga and the distance back to that ZX80 seems like a gulf even though you're not even that much older. npub1pedaxmyg4jn5s2ecuuzgzp0mkkwemkrrx2ane3em5p4ytpkvkn4qayut8t a stinky ox 🐂 Sheep are constantly being recuddled to check the integrity of their fluffiness after the winter. Fluffiness abides. https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/110/135/424/000/216/432/original/dbe8dfb968403f57.jpeg
