One thing I did like about Combat School was the extra tasks you could do to get back into the game, if you lost by an event by a narrow margin. The beautiful cruelty of the game: that you'd now be even more tired for the next event, having just done a bunch of chin-ups. 😊

Combat School on the C64 is awesome fun. Except that vertical-waggling running section. That can rot in hell. 😋

Manic Miner will always be an excellent platformer. 👍

The blue background, though true to the arcade, is unusual for the C64, where authors tended towards the safe choice of a black background. (Often the only way to make it high-contrast for the fuzzy TV's of the day.) There are a few hacked versions of the game that tweaked this:

And, if you look at all the various hacks/cracks on the C64 Scene Database site, there's one (by JPH in 1984) where someone thought "A four-colour screen is a bit boring. Let's try to jazz it up a bit!" Which I kinda like. 😊

The end of the week. My brain is trying to work out what to have for dinner tonight.. 😋

I remember seeing the C64 version of Pitfall on demo, way back when I still had a VIC-20. I thought it looked *amazing*. 😄 Still, as always with those geniuses at Activision, they fit some excellent gameplay in a crazy-small memory footprint. 😎

But, in all seriousness, that looks really good. 👍 A GIF I made of the original.. (Capturing every second frame.) 🤓

Android 2 (ZX Spectrum) The Speccy game came first, I think. There's an Amstrad version too, that I haven't tried yet. There's more animation to the robots in the Speccy game, compared to C64. Gives them a bit more character. Also the Millitoids take 3 shots, not 2. Ouch! An unpleasant surprise. 😋

Winter Games — Hot Dog (C64) Freestyle Skiing is the proper name for this event now. But Hot Dog sounds cool, so I won't take any issue with that. Besides, it's a really fun event. If you time it right you can fit in two moves in a single jump.. If you time it right. 😊

Kristi Noem was making bad decisions, had conflicts of interest, and failed to take accountability. That's why she got canned.

That’s My Best Hitter In The Game!

Martha Rosler’s Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975) is a video artwork, often read as a sharp critique of how domestic labor—and especially “the kitchen”—functions as a system of signs that shapes women’s roles.

A white man named Aaron Hutchings, who is a Christian too, went to Pakistan to free a family from slavery. Their family had been slaves for 140 years. He paid about $4,000 for their freedom. This isn’t the first time a white man has ended slavery. I’m sure it won’t be the last time either.
