System11

Well that's another project done & dusted. Next ones are the ZX81 interface and restarting work on restoring N-Sub which I've been dodging for ages because I hate touching CRT chassis, especially unobtainium ones which 'kind of' work. blog.system11.org/?p=3604

@DiscussingFilm I'm going to go, and I'm going to enjoy it, and the critics can't stop me.

‘THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU’ debuts at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. • First Star Wars movie in 7 years. Read our review: bit.ly/MandoDF

@penpe_net_ I checked my Megadrive games - 37/168 STG. There's a lot of platform / action games and unlicensed Mahjong titles in there. I think Megadrive probably had one of the larger libraries for shooting games.

シューティングゲーム衰退について活発な議論がされてきましたね。私は他人からどのように見られているのかわかりませんが、自分ではSTG好きかなと思ってます。 　そこで一例としてスーパーファミコンの所持STGを数えてみたところ、全60本のうちSTGはたった8本。そんなものかなと思いました。

@arcadeuk @A1an_M Other than Eurovision and the World Cup once every 4 years I don't recall the last TV content I watched. It might even have been as long ago as Bad Girls with the gf.

@A1an_M I think it was the "Truck of peace" that did it for me. Never watched any TV since then

I cancelled our TV licence in 2019 and as a result of that, of having young kids, and having been sickened by the lies told by the media during COVID, I've watched very little adult telly and film over the last few years. We do have Netflix and Disney+ but I rarely watch anything there either. Occasionally though, when we're on holiday or in a hotel, I might switch on the telly, and occasionally we go to the cinema to see kids' films. One thing I've noticed is that I can't enjoy fictional programmes now the way I used to, pre-2020. Even shows I previously liked and I try watching them again. I can't just sit there, suspend disbelief, and lose myself in a movie or a series. Even watching a kids' movie. I'm constantly asking myself "what subliminal message is being sent here? What am I and my kids being programmed to believe is true? Why is the terrorist a white European, again?" It's a shame really, especially when the kids ask "did you enjoy the film?" and I have to be a bit economical with the truth, given I'd spent the whole time mentally railing at the fact that, yet again, the women in the film were the competent, honourable, heroic ones and the men were all either evil or weak, bumbling idiots. But I guess that's just one of the prices of being redpilled. All your innocence goes. Is this just me and my paranoia, or have you noticed it too?

@llamper @Con_Tomlinson There's nothing fundamentally wrong with a giant pit with 30 foot high sheer walls.

@Con_Tomlinson "Mass incarcerations, now." Overcrowded prisons explain why sentences are low and some criminals don't go to prison when they should. We need a crash prison building program, now.

Walking through the park with my wife. Another mother and her toddler around. Group of urban youths from local college loitering, hollering, littering, and making the park intolerable. So we leave. Car follows behind us. We let it pass. They wave a machete at us from the passenger window, and the car sped away. Filed an online crime report, providing the number plate. Police call: multiple reports about the car, which is using stolen plates. Likely connected to a local drill gang which has been seen dealing drugs to students. Received a letter, and was told the Met Police can't take the matter further. We shouldn't have to live like this. This was a nice area, once. We had our wedding photos taken in that park. These low-impulse-control miscreants shouldn't be able to ruin nice things for the rest of us. Mass incarcerations, now.

@Kingbingo_ @raelbrav Isn't that evidence that vote splitting works as advertised?

@raelbrav Its because so many people voted Reform at the last election we got Starmer. Let people vote for whoever they want to vote for.

Vote Restore or Conservative. Get Burnham.

@AvonandsomerRob One of the Capris. Either the 280 Brooklands or the black 4 speed 2.8i

If you could have ONE of the previous cars you've owned back in your possession, in NEW condition, which would you choose?

@Con_Tomlinson Seems like a good time for Restore backers to make a smart decision instead of an emotional one.

Robert is the strongest candidate Reform could have put forward. Makerfield born and raised, ex-army reservist and NHS technician, local councillor, *actually* a plumber, and won 32 percent of the vote in 2024 back before Reform were a national force. A smart pick not to parachute someone from HQ in to stand against Burnham. Reform swept Wigan at the local elections, so Rob has the strongest starting position of any of the candidates.

@PolitlcsUK @FT Just a suggestion but they could stop increasing supermarket costs via stupid policy decisions. This treasury operates in an entirely distorted reality.

🚨 NEW: The Government is pushing for supermarkets to voluntarily cap food prices [@FT]

@Fat_Jacques @AshfordLabour That's exactly why they use net migration figures.

@AshfordLabour Brits leaving is not securing the borders. Net migration is not the right metric. It makes it look good when a tax paying millionaire is replaced by a benefit dependent immigrant.

Net migration- DOWN by 69% Small boat arrivals- DOWN by 40% Deportations- UP by 9% Asylum applications- DOWN by 4% We promised to secure our borders and tackle the backlog. Promise made. Promise being delivered. Labour is working. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Everymancinema I thought this looked decently fun, but the trailer is basically a giant spoiler reel to the point where you already know the story and some of the big funny moments.

full interview is now on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=S5ZytR… 💘💘💘

@Ye_Olde_Holborn God they're dumb as rocks.

>>>lol ft.com/content/857363…

@AvonandsomerRob Add cinemas to that. In fact just confiscate them at the door.

Would it be a good idea to completely block WiFi & mobile signals in cafes and restaurants, so we can have human interaction instead of degenerates on screens?

@coupledyeti6 @Sargon_of_Akkad I recommend Lundy Island for that, off season. Blissfully quiet.

@System11b @Sargon_of_Akkad Good for general health, except for the massive amount of damage it does to your knees. My advice would be to do long-distance hiking, which has all of the same benefits, but won't turn your joints to dust when you're 55

As I have learned to my chagrin, you can't out-exercise your diet.

@snapwith It doesn't work with younger people, but in the UK you can just say "like R-Type" and older people understand immediately. It was that big here.

シューティングと日本で表現されるとき、多数派は2Dの（固定・縦スク・横スク）形式のゲームが出てきて、3Dモノ・TPS・FPSなどは「シューティング」と呼ばないと考えていいかと思う。 これはもう伝統とか文化という以外形容できないモノでしゃーない。

@Katielou86x I still have no idea why they took her, she was also an absentee MP. It's about to get worse by the way, X have agreed to dance to the Ofcom tune.

Nadine Dorries was the architect of the Online Safety act. Nadine Dorries is now in Reform. I can not take this party seriously whatsoever.

@JoshFerme The only viable vote is one with a realistic chance of getting a majority.

Under no circumstances is voting Reform a desirable option. You are voting for Boriswavers and the Conservative ministers that brought them here. Don't be fooled again. Restore are the only alternative.

@BenjaminBr60796 @RupertLowe10 He's very popular, yes. It's better for Labour to lose that seat, important. He's the liberal bubble favourite.

@System11b @RupertLowe10 How does Andy Burnham not winning, weaken Labour? Do you lot think he is somehow the Messiah that's going to save labour or something. He's going to be a carbon copy of Keir, all he will do is maybe speed up the decay of the nation. That only helps Restore come the next GE

Let's all get behind Rebecca, our fantastic Makerfield candidate, and finally give the people a genuine alternative to the rotten political establishment.

@onionsoftware @blast68k The analogue side of the hardware is excellent too. It's powerful and the bass and treble controls can compensate for substandard speakers. My favourite music on that platform is Rolling Thunder 2.

システムIIの音源(YM2151とC140)はこの時代のアーケードとしては最高峰の性能で、ちょっとした電子楽器のような豪華さがあった。ゲームの表現をハードが後押ししていて、それを体験しに行く場所がゲームセンターでもあったよね… #DragonSaber #1990 #Namco

@BenGrahamUK It's unquestionably the right choice, Restore too.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has called for the Conservatives to stand aside in the Makerfield by-election to stop Andy Burnham. Do you think the Tories should step aside and let Reform UK and Labour go head to head? Yes or no?
