Picked up Spelunky2 again.

Just unlocked seeded runs, and there are a couple more missions to do before I call it quits.

It has a delightful hat. Is this part of the domestication process?

Thanks again for another great read.

As other have already said look.after yourself first. I will look forward to your next update whenever it comes.

I wish you the best kind stranger.

Thanks for the mention of Chuckie Egg and Repton. I remember playing them on my Acorn Electron back many moons ago.

Good luck with your journey

Thanks again for the great read.

As a teen, on my zx81 I remember typing line after line of hex numbers.

If the rampack didn’t wobble and fail and I hadn’t missed a line or entered one twice then I’d play something new.

I must have saved the thing somehow, but I can’t remember…

In the UK there is a crazy band between £100k and £125k where for each two pounds above £100k you lose one pound from your personal allowance (personal allowance is £12.5k).

The effective tax rate for this is 60% then it carries on at the regular 40%

Always has struck me as odd.

Never paid this rate myself because I don’t get paid enough. Apparently it disincentives doctors from doing overtime.

It’s a precaution. If you were to damage the exposed battery it could cause it to heat up and probably catch fire.

You do no want a lithium battery fire in your house.

If you’re going to do it make sure you have enough time to do it all in one go so you don’t have to leave the back off.

It’s not a long task, I think setting the blank drive up afterwards took longer than the actual drive swap

Yes, well worth it.

I see all the important tips in the comments apart from doing it with a discharged battery.

I had no issues when I did mine.

Thanks for these posts, as others have said I took look forward to seeing them.

They’re a great read and serve as a useful reminder that there are other games apart from Factorio to play.

Bathroom DIY. New flooring. Finding it hard to motivate myself. Sunny outside right now…

Sometimes if the bombers failed to find a target or if the got damaged by anit-aurcraft fire they would fly home and rather than land with a load of unexploded bombs on board they would drop them elsewhere. Maybe a field, maybe the sea…

I tyre of these jokes

You’re all wrong, it’s clearly a Chinchilla

Have you heard that the over 50’s are doing day time raving. Back home by nine/ten to sleep.

Day time rave

But thed did have an escape in 2008, I think they stole a tool bag (one went missing, so it must have been the spiders) Escaped spiders

In the UK some shops would sell you a single cigarette for less the ten of our new pennies. Around '86 I think.

The moon is a harsh mistress.

I hope that cat is called Zorro

The UV light box was a separate device and not part of the Z88 itself.

you’d put the EPROM devices in it and let them cook for 20 minutes or so to clean them of previous data written to them.
