This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

@adamcsmith I have a thing for lowriders. That’s nice 👌
@ThePlant perfect for Halloween, but I gotta cut my caloric intake massively if I’m going to have Ken’s abs.
@ThePlant I actually reckon misogynist Ken will become a look.

“We notice you are using an ad blocker…”
Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impass.
@lowqualityfacts you can’t beat fresh food.
OK, the #Barbie movie was pretty good 👍
Finally an #Exoprimal review that I agree with :D This game is good! Very good. My main criticism though is the same, that at full price it is a hard sell given how many free multiplayer games there are out there. #gaming https://rumble.com/v316plz-best-multiplayer-on-game-pass-exoprimal-review-in-progress-series-x.html
@mikey good luck with your next job :) I'm happy for you.
@chowderman @noelreports I was actually thinking of running a UAZ body with Isuzu or Suzuki mechanicals, given that the abandoned stuff is obviously wrecked and Russian car parts just don't make it here.
@derSammler I remember the names being different, but I didn't recall the exact names :D
My favourite #Exoprimal #Exosuit is looking very different now :) #gaming
@jonn_blanchard I bought a 2600 from the UK decades ago for really nothing! And 2 Super Famicoms and a Famicom from Japan for the price of a hamburger.
@jonn_blanchard I miss the days when old consoles and 8 bit computers could be picked up for a tenner or so. :(
@jonn_blanchard a lot of retro computing and gaming stuff in Japan isn't stupidly priced. Common consoles tend to be very affordable.

I’m always a little shocked when these boxed MSX2 computers sell for a reasonable price, I sold my previous one on and then most of the others went for insane prices, then I stuck a low bid on this one and. I body else bid. It even comes with the hard to find PSU #RetroComputing
@zorrobandito That;s really cool, I don't think I had ever seen screenshots of this version of the game.
And your toot made me laugh, I pictured a Mac advert "Get an Apple Mac, the lesser gaming platform since 1986."

Further Adventures with the MISTer FPGA.
I never had a Mac Plus and it was always considered the lesser gaming platform behind the #Amiga and #PC but it still had some classics.
With an hour's noodling I got the Mac Plus fired up on the #MISTerFPGA with a vhd. It was time to play the game I came for...
Prince of Persia will always be a great game and this version looks very nice in hi-res black and white. It's slow, almost like the #apple2, but the Prince is still responsive. Action keys are configured like the Apple II, with a dedicated key for each action (horizontal jump & vertical jump), rather than combining them as in the PC and Amiga versions.
Playing on the Mac Classic is a less immersive experience than on other systems for two primary reasons. Firstly, the MacOS is not booted out on running the game, you select New Game from the window menu with the mouse (and save your game in the same way) and secondly, the copy protection is intact and the somewhat surreal experience of having the Prince search for the potion with the right letter from the manual was a real throwback to the late 80s/early 90s.
The Mac Plus has a unique look but still feels right. I'm a PoP tragic and can appreciate the different styling of each version and its great to play them all...

@noelreports does Russia still use UAZ 469s? Coz one of those would be really really really cool as a daily runabout :D
@lowqualityfacts we just need stronger umbrellas.
