The rumours are true - the next lengthy retrospective will be on METROID

It's one of the most iconic video game series of all time - but the story of it's success is not as straight forward as you'd expect.

Should release in early November and should be a very long one indeed

It's rumored that @elonmusk's first computer was a VIC-20. I thought doing the logo would be easier than it turned out to be, but it's still just 10 lines of code, thanks to Super Expander. #commodore #vic20

@AntstreamArcade ... so you forgot to blow on the cartridges first 😁

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@AntstreamArcade Thanks for the clarification.

@Purple_Elf The whole idea of SPAs was to work around the limitations of HTML in handling the kinds of dynamic updates thick clients and desktop apps have. But instead of fixing HTML, we went the other way and came up with an insanely overcomplicated way of avoiding that fix. HTMX fixes it

@InTimsWorld Wow!

@retroarcadian I had this one as a kid and seem to remember being impressed but also a little disappointed in how easy it was.

@daph2theb @SJimtendo I know what you mean... However, I will say that the Switch Lite does feel like a Nintendo product. (I think it's the slightly wigglyable Joycons that make it feel a bit less robust than previous handhelds)

@daph2theb @JAMOGRAD I've not seen that channel, I'll check it out thanks 😀

(looks like there are a few text adventures on there ... used to love making my own)

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@daph2theb I remember that book too... so cool. I loved type-ins ... my imagination would run wild and I felt like I was learning at the same time 😀

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@NeilGortz @hifiRush Completely agree ... charming, moved along at a great pace, didn't out stay it's welcome and genuinely hit the spot in lots of ways ... a fantastic game

@elonmusk ..

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@anaismitchell wow... just wanted to say thank you to you and the band for a stellar performance tonight and for the opertunity to hear the songs that have meant so much over the past few (strange) years.

@unclebobmartin Maybe something went wrong in the education system when computers were introduced into schools?

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@Ghost_In_Exile @daph2theb Sadly, Rhyl's arcades (like many) don't have the kind of games that we remember.

[Gareth Owen @onyxbox]

@driscollis I think I'm going to take a look at FastAPI.
