#appleII people, would anyone be able to dump the ROM of their MouseCard? We're having doubts about the existing one in MAME. (https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/13598)

Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.

Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!

Hey, electronics/retroelectronics folk! I have here a batch of 200 ATMega644P microcontrollers (40-pin DIP package) that need a home. These are the ones that we used in Sanguinos, gen3 reprap electronics, and first-generation Makerbots. Happy to ship them within the US; I'm just trying to keep them out of the trash. Please reboost!

Buy books. But not from Amazon. Buy them from Bookshop.org, the independent site. This move by Amazon is shameful.

Here is a link to my book on Bookshop.org.

Friends, Old Skies is out. This game was a lot of work but I'm proud to have finished it. Thanks to everybody for all the support along the way.

Ok, I've been a bit coy about it, but now I will say it with all the words:

I'm looking for collaborators with my #dungeoncrawler

The targets are DOS/386, if possible Amiga AGA (I do have a working build, but it's terribly slow) and the GameBoy Advance. I use a custom C90 3D engine.

Inspiration:
System Shock, Marathon 2, Doom 2 RPG, Phantasy Star I-IV, Albion (1995), Strife, Shining the Holy Ark, Wizardry, Etrian Odissey, X-Men and general Cyberpunk.

Please boost

We're still looking for a Canadian hosting provider that offers a managed PostgreSQL service, if anyone knows of one.

I'm looking for someone who could create a logo for Owl New Worlds. I don't have thousands of dollars to put into it sadly but if you know anyone who could be interested or who could match, if you love the work of someone in particular, please share

Dear advertisers: If you force an ad on me with no way to dismiss it, it just makes me hate your brand. Discord just forced an add on me, covering my input until I watched it. I will never ever play the game they pushed on me. That game is dead to me. Good job advertisers. If Discord keeps to up, I'm done with Discord.

As Death by Scrolling starts to wrap up, our excellent pixel artist @TeaRascal is look for his next challenge. If you have the need for amazing pixel art (who doesn't) then get in contact. Highly recommended.

I started #MARCHintosh with a Mac Plus that couldn't display an image, and ended it with a working 4MB Plus complete with period correct keyboard and mouse! I've spent the last few days playing games and simply enjoying it: I declare this #MARCHintosh a success!

I hear that #GlobalTalk is year-round? I hope to get my Mac online by next year's event!

Oy! Are you importing FBX files into #blender? I have a new (WIP) FBX importer that would appreciate some testing. Blender forum thread: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/new-fbx-importer-feedback-and-discussion/39753 and PR with details: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/132406 and builds to download: https://builder.blender.org/download/patch/PR132406/

It uses most excellent "ufbx" library, but turns out there's still a lot of massaging the data into blender's data. Especially with skeletons/armatures and animations it is complex.

an ominous I-am-under-NDA-coded warning to immediately uninstall atop has been posted by a reputable tech blogger. https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2025/03/25/atop/

My disk image booted up on the first try from my new BlueSCSI! It's a #MARCHintosh miracle!!! I just need a mouse and keyboard next.

Next up for #MARCHintosh : I finally received my BlueSCSI kit this week! In anticipation of its arrival I had setup my disk image using an emulator. So today I soldered and assembled it, and transferred my image to the SD card.
