We've prepared a zine version of "How to Throw a Squatted Dance Party."
https://crimethinc.com/SquatDance
This anonymous step-by-step guide was composed by people who organize squatted dance parties. The link between unauthorized dancing and radical politics extends back decades, from the early rave scene and the worldwide squatting movement through Reclaim the Streets and Occupy. Such adventurous events can demonstrate how much more joyous life could be.
This week's Saturday Morning Demoshow will be hosted by the internationally-famous artist Kate Bush. Or @aldroid in a Kate Bush outfit. Find out which, at 10am BST Saturday on https://twitch.tv/fieldfxdemo #demoscene

I just found a nice tutorial on how to write a simple game in #assembler on the #zxspectrum in 30 minutes (!) and I think this may be interesting to some of you:

The blog also features many more articles on Spectrum game coding in assembler so you may want to look at further blog posts there, e.g. there's also a great article on how the Spectrum video memory is arranged and how to address it properly.
Happy Friday <3 here's a daft #chiptune cover I just made of The Middle / Jimmy Eat World to see in the weekend x 🍟🎸🌞
Finished my little beholder drawing, definitely one of my favourite drawings in a while ~ might do a mimic next while I'm at it

Last bit of sneaky #gamedev before my hols; sprites are working. Cut out of a texture page, etc. etc.
Yeah, well...
Someone should make a proper "holy shit, you have no idea how fucked up all 3 of the crackdown games were" video.
*vietnam stare*
Yeah, well...
The problem with basing a video on the Gamasutra post mortem of Crackdown is that it's mostly complete and utter bollocks, written when RTW were whoring for 110 MILLION EARTH DOLLARS to make APB, which, ironically, was also a complete fucking shit-show, from start to finish.

TIL that using GIF or PNG8 for a 16 colour, palette based workflow, is a complete waste of time.
Everything promotes them to 256 colour, or 24bit, because you know, it's the future... *sigh*
But, I've just found the cute single header parser for Aseprite, so tonight I'm gonna see if that'll work...
