Mega Man Maker 1.10 Released (a while ago)
I'm a bit late in announcing this, but a lot's been going on here lately, and it's a worthy announcement, so here's the release video for Mega Man Maker 1.10 (2 minutes). This isn't the last time we linked to a MMM release, and its coders don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

@fediforum @dansup Embed Videos don't show
I think videos should be "compatible" with all browsers or as simply as possible.
Tried with #MyPal:
https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases/tag/74.1.1
Ah it's #PeerTube embed... Well anyway... Guess I can load in separate page... but doesn't look great...
A #retro compatible version to switch into perhaps or link to the video page instead of "sorry..." ?
Thanks
Kim Justice on I’m Sorry, Sega’s Political Arcade Game
It's a really strange game even without the context that your protagonist, a fan-waving Japanese guy running around from sunglasses-wearing agents, and occasionally celebrities like Michael Jackson (probably his first role in a Sega game) and a barrel chasing him around mazes, is based on a real person,

Creator of C64OS Talks VIC-II Video Timing
It's a pretty good run-down of the various weird timing issues of the Commodore 64. Machines at that time had to do all kinds of weird things to keep up the overriding priority of microcomputers of the time: building a consistent video signal that could be displayed on a television. Nearly all machines needed special hardware

Secret 1up Triggers in Super Mario World
I think it's pretty obvious that, while the game is excellent in many ways, Super Mario World has so many extra lives that they end up almost meaningless. There's all the traditional ways to build up your horde of Marios waiting in the wings for their chance at platforming glory: getting 100 coins, hidden 1up blocks, kno

Use a GBA as a Switch Controller, No Fooling
It is true, but you do need some extra items. Not only the Gameboy Advance, but a Gamecube, a GBA controller cable, the Gamecube controller adaptor (the one made to support Smash Bros. games) and a Gameboy Player with boot disk. But if you have all of these items, none of them need to be modded. I

Hey, btw I still didn't understand the whole logic of that lyrical riddle sword fight if that was your design ! ⚔️
Last play was almost 2 decades when there was a small party of friends with people around as a bit of a revisit to the game (also to try get crowd-intelligence how to complete things) but we couldn't get to the end of that sword fight! But fun all the way.
Nothing much since then other than seeing it on hard disk a few times and maybe some art... since the youth has passed now. I guess time-killing was a past-time which many people did and do but this was actually the more lively, bright, creative humoured adventure games.
Quality.
And now your account as mini-revival (thanks!)
The basic animation of fire,
, the scenes, music interactions, the drawing style etc all still lives on as very unique! Well done!
🗨️ Happy to talk about it via #Jitsi #Chat anytime with anyone! Love to talk and test our memory together! How about it?

Oh wow I just found some #savegame files on my disk...
...and it has the date in them!! 👀
And now some music by Michael Land (sorry if it wasn't from your version Ron as I know lots of versions came out). But just quickly as this post is already too long even for a fan perhaps!...
Again love to talk more / invest in the nostalgia... if you want!)
Kim Justice’s 10 Arcade Treasures From 1982
Kim Justice has done a few of these videos and they usually have interesting games to look into. They try to present machines that aren't as well-known to current eyes, so you'll probably find at least one new favorite in each of their videos. Here it is (32 minute

The Ultimate Gameboy Talk
It's a busy day for me coming up, so here's one from my list of Youtube links: the Ultimate Gameboy Talk (1 hour 1 minute) by Michael Steil, but you don't have to watch it on YT, as it's also hosted on the website of Chaos Computer Club in various formats. The embed below is from Youtube though, since they usually have pretty good emb

MADE’s Fundraiser
MADE is the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment, a San Francisco-based video game museum loaded with playable examples. They're trying to raise $500,000 to secure operations funding for the next three years. I've never been to it, but I've had at least one worthy person recommend them to me today, and so I decided to help spread the word. (Info link,

NEWSCARD Publish and fetch permanent named records via Network News
Newscard creates a decentralized, encrypted, named record paste bin.
[git repo] https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/newscard (use most recent version only)
With a single command, name the card, snarf the file and encrypt it.
With another command, push the encrypted file to the public network.
With another short command, snarf a file from the network.
Only users knowing the name [key] of the record will be able to decrypt it.
If a strong passphrase is used to name the file, it will be very secure.
This is useful for quickly snarfing, encrypting, and publishing a text file:
$~: card enc [passphrase] [file]
$~: card put [passphrase]
It is useful for retrieving a text file with just a key:
$~: card get [passphrase]
$~: card show [passphrase]
If and when you want the general public to access the record just share the keyword.
Newscard uses nine (9) (NINE) layers of encryption with OpenSSL chacha20 cipher.
Newscard generates 9 each of: cipher keys, salts, key iteration parameters.
It would be nice if something like this were added to the ActivityPub protocol, such that keyword[@]host.url would do the same thing. Then secret text records could be stored securely for later retrieval or revelation.
