#571 - Are You Gonna Be My News |
Weekly NewsletterAre You Gonna Be My News?#571 - Thursday 16th June, 2022groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Going "Oh, shit, I still have to do the newsletter!!" Hello WorldI'm resting, this week. After half a year creating a full year's worth of 52 AGameAWeek's, I've decided to take the opportunity to have a little bit of a rest period. It's been a bit of a chaotic half-year, if I'm honest, as all manner of real-world events go on around me. Worries and Stresses took hold, watching my little sister battling against the government, the government generally being a bag of shite, and then the whole Ukrainian thing in general.. It's certainly proven to be slightly tougher than usual to bury my head in the code, and just carry on as normal. But here I am at the midway point, and I'm trying my best to relax and chill for a little bit, without worrying about what game's next. .. But, of course, I am. Because I always am. I'm currently working on getting a form of RetroRaider up and running on the Amiga. It's a bit of a mess, right now, and all the colours are screwed up, which is baffling when you consider that there's only 32 colours to work with! .. Never mind. Carry on. I'm sure it'll all come together, eventually. (eek!) SoCoderRetroRaider on SwitchJay releases a new edition of RetroRaider on Switchsocoder.net/?GotoPost=84299 The topic then switches to discussions about how Jay could achieve longer videos from his Switch, and ends up costing Jay another £40 or so in random devices that may or may not allow him to do better Switch videos in the future. SoHomelyBuying a HouseA thread that becomes somewhat political/social, as we discuss the topic of home owning.Do you own/rent your house? That's oddly something that hasn't actually come up in the thread. Let us know, so I can tell people are reading the newsletter! =https://socoder.net/?Topic=8753 Don't Take Those PillsSteve is given a reprieve from taking his Diabetes tablets.Is that a good thing? Who can tell. socoder.net/?Topic=8757 SoRetroIndie Retro BirthdayThe wonderful site Indie Retro News has celebrated its 10th birthday, this week.It's a wonderful site where the creator scans the globe for "New Indie" news, and catalogues it all into a great big blog. It's been a daily visit for me since I discovered it, but unfortunately I have to admit that I only actually discovered the thing a couple of months ago, when it showed up in my referrals due to my recent Amiga coding. Still, gives me a whole decade's worth of back-content to read through! www.indieretronews.com/2022/06/indie-retro-news-celebrates-over-25.html SoOnscreenKeep Runnething, HejogThe second "A Hejog Wot Runs - Teh Muvie" appeared on UK purchasing places, this week, including iTunes where the wonderful Colleen O'Shaughnessey didn't get her name on the movie's blurb.Good going there, Paramount/Sega. And it didn't even come out on a Tuesday. socoder.net/?GotoPost=84316 Keep Flying, OrvilleJay discovers that The Orville Season Three has finally appeared, on Disney Plus of all places.After Disney bought Fox, they decided against doing a Trek show, and the show was handed over to Hulu, but now, inexplicably, here it is on the Disney streaming doohickey. Not really sure what that's about, if i'm honest. Either way Jay cried quite a bit watching the first episode of Season Three, and given how the show's a Sci-Fi Comedy, he really wasn't expecting that. socoder.net/?GotoPost=84310 SoGaming[/h3] |
