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.

The white Retron 1 HD really does look like something out of #StarWars. This is the video game #console issued to #stormtroopers. #retrogaming #famiclone #xp

@ohuu One of the reasons I started QOTO was to do open science.. i wish we could address some of those concerns. Best I can offer is the resources of our servers for you, always willing to add more.
@authorbwest you mean to say that you don't miss everyone being at each other's throats constantly? :)

It's such a quiet, stress-free existence I live on Mastodon. I genuinely haven't thought this much about my writing on social media since...well, ever 🤣

It’s good to see engagement and use growing here. It would be healthy to have a social platform free of the billionaire oligopoly and the corporate ad folks, don’t you think?
@mastomememakers Linux and ChromeOS.
@lunarloony @SuperJim same for me. I have many of the receipts in the boxes, some were surprisingly pricey! I've actually been contemplating selling all of my DOS games.
PS: One tip I have is to specify the type of camera used and at least some of the settings. #xp
@stupidhoroscope I use something very similar with my Xbox when logging into GFN. There's minor keyboard and mouse input required to play some games.

In Duck Hunt the NES Zapper worked by blacking out screen & drawing white blocks around targets when you fire, for a couple frames. The diode in the Zapper detects the change in light intensity and tells the computer if it’s pointed at a lit target. #gamedev #retrogaming
@ratamacue I'm inclined to agree. The best of Twitter migrated here.

Elon Musk is the best thing to happen to Mastodon.
Flying taxis are coming. And whilst I am sure that pricing will be such that they are not for the masses I'm supportive of anything that reduces vehicle and pedestrian congestion in big cities. One more mode of transport that's not on the roads and pavements is welcome.
Plus it is hella cool to think taxis could fly! #xp https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63709754

French authorities declare the use of Microsoft Office and Google Docs illegal in schools and education markets, as they don’t follow GDPR and might disturb later competition by making students used to these proprietary solutions.

Sweet! This reminds me of something I did with my old PSP about 10 years ago. One time, I actually fully played through SpyFox on this thing. I didn't know about ScummVM back then.

3 years ago I volunteered to create a new edition of Ethan Winer’s 1990s BASIC programming book using LibreOffice (@libreoffice). Over the span of a year, with Ethan’s editorial input, I rebuilt the book layout from TXT sources in #LibreOffice , and recreated all diagrams from scratch using #FreeDOS, #InkScape and #GIMP. It turned out great!
