@emshort If I can reverse engineer the format, it might be possible to play any Varytale game without requiring a port. It doesn't look like there were many games published that way, but they are essentially lost otherwise.

@emshort After the recent Eaten by a Grue podcast "Bee" episode, I'm curious about the defunct Varytale platform and possibly reverse engineering the story format. Can you DM me?

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

Pffft. They misspelled Frotz.

@Kenzotronik Too late, mate. We're all on mastodon now.

No window in your office? Slim LED backlight works just as well for hanging on a wall.

Q: What are you supposed to do with the top case of a PowerBook/MacBook with a busted screen?

A: Hang it in a window.

A couple of weeks late, but I've just opened a new document "Kansasfest 2022 ideas" #a2kfest

@zeropage_game @xotmatrix This reminds me: No Apple II emulation can be called "complete" until it properly recreates leaking capacitors.

"Hey, Dad. What time does @kansasfest start today?"
"It's over, buddy. We closed it out last night."
"Aw, man."
"Same. Same."

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

@blakespot you finally got me. After reading and watching your videos about No Man's Sky, I've finally bought it.

Not that I can commit any time to playing until after @kansasfest but still...

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

@a2_4am Narrator: it wasn't over. Not by a long shot.

@DVilliers @CubicleApril @Twitter Fine, fine. The original joke is that knowledge means knowing tomatoes are fruit, but intelligence means you still wouldn't put it in a fruit salad. But tomatoes are specifically berries, while strawberries are not.

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

@DownenCreative Oh, is that what a shenanigan looks like?

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

@KitsuCorrupt @textfiles Yet another hilarious installment in the "Police Academy" franchise.

[Charles Mangin @retroconnector]

@theBeepGuru Oof. That's a typo is what that is.

Should be
IF (M$ ="B" OR M$="b") THEN POKE 8,64: GOTO 700

I think it's already fixed on the dsk.

@apple2europlus That's actually not too difficult to do, the error correction being what it is.
