Final song for #Commodore Covers, and probably my favourite one: a cover of what is probably -THE- anthem of the #Amiga #demoscene , "Hyperbased" from the Enigma demo by Phenomena. https://t.co/K2qCGyMhVX Original by Firefox & Tip. #vgm #synthwave Thanks for listening along :)

Second last song of Commodore Covers, and it was such a fun one to make - a cover of the theme to Pitfall II on the #C64 . https://t.co/QR83u5DW1g Original by @PitfallCreator #retrogaming #gamemusic

Onto the final 3 songs of Commodore Covers. Song 7 is a cover of the loading music of Paradroid 90 on the #Amiga (including the upcoming #Amigamini ). Original by @I_Am_JPage https://t.co/yLiKt5UnNJ

Back to the #Commodore64 for song #6. A cover of the title music in the #c64 game "Bruce Lee". The original by John Fitzpatrick was only 20 seconds long with very simple sounds, but it still left a lasting positive imprint on me :) https://t.co/aqSt3kDywy

Song 5 out of the 9 I covered is “The Desert Rocks” from Turrican II on the #Commodore #Amiga . Brilliant game and fantastic soundtrack. Shining with retro space heroic positivity! Original by @Chris_Huelsbeck . #RetroGaming https://t.co/tBS5HVIGZy

4th track I did was a cover of the Motorway loading music from Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 on the #Amiga , one of the fave songs of one of my best friends. This was so fun to cover :) https://t.co/pHN2hYny4W Original by @BarryLeitch . #vgm

Third cover track is another Rob Hubbard classic, Commando from the #commodore64 :) This was actually the fist cover tune I started on, and enjoyed the process so much that I ended up making 9 tracks! https://t.co/cwh5zKp0iV #RetroGaming #music

The second track I did was a cover of the music to International Karate on the #commodore64 https://t.co/VZl0aFPzbb

Sad news: Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, famous for his theory of "flow", has passed away at the age of 87. Let's tackle a pleasurable challenge in his honor today, or tomorrow. Eating dinner with him once in 2012 was an honor and a most cherished memory.

@s_palm @sthcrft I guess that’s the thing about trying to design any experience based on play - play is awesome and powerful, but at its core also a voluntary act to engage in the stuff you like, which could be very different to other peoples’ ideas of fun and play.

@VisionsByVicky Thanks :)

@Rickard_Scott @KellyFrame14 @clairebrooks Yeah, I do miss having media buttons on my current setup. Hmmm, I wonder what we can ask for higher up?
