Hey @grumpygamer are you aware of this issue https://steamcommunity.com/app/3773590/discussions/0/668347687814349389/ - xbox controllers can't sprint on PC. I've been playing this entire time without realizing sprint was even a mechanic in the game.. ha.
@paulrickards Hey, I've been trying softseve and it's working, but it's extremely slow - like 20 min to print the softserve readme. I'm using jrouter on the same machine. Not sure where to look as everything else is fast (file shares, etc)
It's almost #Marchintosh 2026! I've created a thread over on tinkerdifferent to capture all the projects. Reply here or there and I'll keep it updated as best I can.

You know that awesome Macintosh emulator Snow by @twvd ? Well I have serial ports working and now we can dial up to the information super highway!
Also I have LaunchAPPL from Retro68k working - very nice and modern dev flow to an emulator with all the dev bells and whistles.
PR to Snow soon!
@mihaip hey you should check your discord DM's - made a lot of progress on what we were chatting about!
New computer. $50 and bombed.
You ever wonder how the LocalTalk name is stored and encoded on an ImageWriter II LocalTalk Option Card? No? Ya that's probably for the best - but myself, @polpo, @MuseumJoe, and a bunch of others dug in and it was a fun little puzzle to solve:
This is how you download new games in 2025, right?
I'd really like to support GOG but having tons of issues. Their Galaxy client has tons of issues on Mac, wont even start most of the time. BG3, a 130GB download, wont start. Even the offline installers for things like Riven 2024 are unsigned so you can't install them without extra clicks. This should be better.
All these are reported and crazy work around that sometimes work but way outside the abilities of "normies" - I wont be buying games on GOG till they fix these issues.
Well instead of cleaning my office today I knocked out a bunch of @BlueSCSI tickets/issues/etc... now that I'm caught up on that I need to find another excuse to not clean my office...
hmm, @IceCubesApp no longer jumps to the top when you click on the "timeline" button at the bottom. Wake up in the morning and have to scroll for 2 minutes to get to the top of my timeline
Well who thought I'd be doing #NeXT software dev in 2024?

#GlobalTalk + #TashTalk + Mini vMac - together at last. Details incoming tonight
@europlus hey, i got 100's of blank pages from you last night - every 20 or so had "tap tap tap is this thing on? eurplus" :/ #GlobalTalk
Setting up a #TashTalk 2 to hopefully route udp from vmac to my #GlobalTalk network
Guess it's time to take this off the shelf #MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk
Did something silly, dangerous, and potentially useful with @BlueSCSI
Updated my #minivmac build (that supports @BlueSCSI based images)
* Added flags for Disk Copy 4.2.
* Fixed Apple Silicon build.
* Fixed SE build, now SEFDHD.
* Various other build fixes
