In light of recent developments, The C64 Take-away's social media presence will be moving over to #Mastodon. This account will remain online as a placeholder for now. Thanks for all the positive interactions we've had over the years. Come follow along on https://t.co/k5jpnN7AcY

The #C64 community has lost one of our own, way too early. On November 2nd, SID composer Johannes "Jozz" Bjerregaard passed away due to a recurrence of cancer at the age of 52. Thanks for letting us Triangle 3532 folks use your "Zoom" for our intro tune, Jozz.

@Commoflage_ There’s a pattern?!? And here I thought I was being irregular.

(PS: Bring back Commoflage)

Hey-hey-hey! It's another 49 minutes of carefully curated #C64 tunes and music news for your podcast player of choice. Enjoy! https://t.co/quhMKALF3G

@NwfPodcast Re. the listener feedback mention of a mothers brother being equivalent to an uncle in the latest episode. It's not (at least not in the Scandinavian countries) - a mothers brother is a blood relative, whereas an uncle is a non-relative who married your mothers sister. :)

HVSC update 77 is out. Remixers, start exploring the 709 new #C64 #chiptunes in this release. https://t.co/1mQZ9z7o2G

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

One last round! @mattgrayc64 has launched the 5th and final "Reformation" kickstarter. At least 20 #C64 #chiptune remakes + an updated production of the Last Ninja 2 soundtrack + a complete version of The Last Ninja soundtrack. Go back it! https://t.co/Vq2LVvAkiX

Good News, Everyone!
Twitter-card-enhanced links now work. To celebrate here's a link to one of my all time favourite remixes of one of my all time favourite #C64 chiptunes: https://t.co/ROPQrAQVLr

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

@marcuse Indeed. Thanks for your input. "Oddly" facebook didn't have any problems bypassing robots.txt rules. 🤣

Now to play the waiting game - because "Content is cached by Twitter for 7 days after a link to a page with card markup has been published in a Tweet."

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

Testing, testing. Have added "twitter summary" cards for #C64 remixes. Also, this is one bangin' choon - so go check it out: https://t.co/9gjanWPe5H

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

@marcuse Also, image is a 9Kb PNG and both description and title are well with the limitations. Oh well.

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

@TomaszJ Thanks. ❤️ And, if you need to relax a bit and listen to a human-curated playlist, the podcast is there for you. :)

(There's even a very good chance that you'll catch up on the 56 current episodes before I get around to releasing a new one.)

HVSC update 76 is out. Remixers, start exploring the 681 new #C64 #chiptunes in this release. https://t.co/1mQZ9z7o2G

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

85% funded with 7 days left on The @FastLoaders kickstarter for 30 #C64 classic chiptunes dressed up as rock/metal. Back it if you ever found yourself replying "I wanna rock!" whenever someone asked what you wanted to do with your life. https://t.co/VMr3BYerAX

@FlemmingAC PS: Beklager sent svar. Jeg checker ikke twitter så ofte mere, og når jeg gør drukner "rigtige" beskeder ofte i alle de tweets der tilsyneladende tagger alle der har "C64" i deres username.

[The C64 Take-away @C64Takeaway]

@FlemmingAC Enig! Hvis der er noget der kan tangere Golden Axe Christmas Edition i julestemning, så er det Commando Highlife. Men den kan desværre ikke blive spillet nu St. Albans Rob Hubbard Fan Club har vendt remix-scenen ryggen. :( https://t.co/E0LdqFp9KO
