What a desktop looks like on a refurbished €49 PC ...

we been doing stuff on USA-DOS for a bit lately and despite having an i5 20 generations later and a dedicated gpu, the speed of mint cinnamon , not to mention ease of switching hot corners and more control over background processes makes it feel like a SLUG and a drag to work on

most screenshots are from "working on middlersted" ...

its too hot, the world hasnt changed for a bit since last time so theres nothing to say, life hasnt so theres nothing to say

thats that then ...

hey , Satellius, gimme just ONE of dem billions and ill find a few people to make you a desktop that is actually agreeable to work on (youll have to let go of at least half the spyware thought)

...

?

i could use the money , even if it means "doing something for crotter"

... (all images and coding is claudeless ofcourse - and also : everything JoGmade or written or otherwise created can not be used for machine or other systems learning and if its visible accessible code and you think you can do better : feel free but the condition is you send us a copy we can add on itch or gog (unless there other places ?) AND you can not re-claude it, only re-code it, if YOU cant do it yourself, dont touch our stuff ... i think we do have the right to demand that, even in soviet belgium)

we tend to start out in TRSE since we found it ... its far from perfect or finished but we have a thing for half-finished bugged IDE's (like jagstudio and others because its cheaper than having our ass whipped by a dominatrix) and then move to ACME ...

i heard about this cc thing but i dont see the point in using C for an 8bit machine, and i dont need to debate it

this is an easyflash game, Céôrl will be a .d64 game using krill (im almost starting to favour those) despite the fact that we dont have HARDWARE THAT CAN RUN KRILL

the cart is compiled with our own shell script (which also converts the TILED files into binary files for inclusion in the cartridge and links it

atm we are at a stop for middlersted because even if it works 100% fine on VICE, last time we slotted it into the real thing

it wouldnt SAVE

DUH

yes, we do :

model 2 , sid 2

model 1, sid1 (no thats not an empty box)

dunno ... the datasette might or might not be working ... i dont have tapes ... the kungfu works fine, the meatloaf works great although its weird to see "openAI" and "chatGPT" listed in a directory structure on a c64 desktop when going "ml:fb" online

the brick of death is kept for museum piece purposes, we have a handmade custom polish thing that is superpowered and secured and

well, the scaler is shyte but we dont have money to buy one of those €1500 ones and we couldnt get a crt before the fall so for gaming we use the mister fpga and this one is used for testing

thats why we're stuck on middlersted : theres no error of any kind , not a glitch on vice, it works PERFECT, saving the whole thing, recurring turns weekly, maps everything, but on the real thing it doesnt AND

since briley and soul force and all DO ... we literally have no clue

what exactly it could be, id buy an EF3 to test if theres a diff with kungfu (thats what we would have done) but

money, you see .. BON ...

thats what a dev-top should look like and switching screens takes a flip second with hot-corners ... for some reason on an ancient refurbished i5 mini machine with onboard gfx and 8gb of memory (and a mechanical drive btw)

BON BON, its too hot

i hate everything and everyone, humans should just die or leave the planet so the rest of us at least can enjoy it a little before mars is here

things is the first one is refurbished, it could last another 40 years easy , the second (which we got first) isnt , so every time we turn that one on its like TENSSIONNNNNNNN

(capacitors ? you know ? no ? okay ? blessed be et al ... i didnt know that either until i did)

as i already said, almost 9 months with no income, we spent a LOT before the fall which we saw coming from so many years ago, our desperate NEED TO GET OUT OF BELGIUM ... (which belgium prevented time after time)

so we got no life no money no options and no future (no one has any real leverage anymore like this ofcourse but some troglodytes still seem to be "expecting" things ??? thats somewhate ludicrous given the situation)

we cant move to Asia to start something, due to our condtion atm that would require more starting capital than we would have needed 20 years ago when they started blocking EVERYTHING

we cant buy a housing block in Venice

we cant buy a ticket to space JUST ONCE after a career in doing "everything that makes money"

so other that "write that retro game the kid would have wanted"

theres nothing left

enjoy the wait while mars is coming ...

IT IS, believe me .... if you cant see that i wonder how deep your arse is where you keep that head of yours

o, looks like theres some POW (proof of working) on the card :

guaranteed 100% claudeless ,

you know what they say :

rich kids claude

smart kids code

it works absolutely fine, perfect, even on the real hw , for the game

and it saves fine on VICE

but on the real hw for some reason after endturn it doesnt

not that it matters, its not like we have paterons or kookstarters anyway
