Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it’s very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

Good stuff, read about this in 50 Years of Text Games, will be nice to check this out

There were 103 murders in Greater London last year, which also has a population of just under 10 million and of course is a dense urban environment with a lot of inequality. Of those, 67 were stabbed and only 8 were shot.

Bomb/grenade attacks are almost unheard of in the UK, outside of terrorist incidents.

I don’t mean to attack Sweden which is an admirable country in many ways, and I wish the UK would adopt many of its policies. It’s precisely because it’s such a well run country that the increase in violent crime is so shocking

Yeah idk, I have family in Helsinborg. A car bomb outside elderly relatives flat - in a nice part of a nice town - someone shot dead in another relative’s street, the police station was attacked with a hand grenade… Last year when we arrived to visit a main shopping street was blocked off after a bombing in a flat. Yeah it’s still a nice country and I haven’t literally witnessed any of these incidents, but criminal violence honestly feels closer there than at home in London

Eh call me when they make a new Gun Nac

I love gaming on the go so I’ll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it’s own right

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It’s fairly forgiving but I still haven’t beaten it!

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I’d love a Pocket

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

I actually think it can be harder to communicate moderation. I have a friend who’s a recovering alcoholic and when he says “I don’t drink” he rarely gets any pushback.

Whereas I do drink sometimes, and even get drunk very occassionally, but can go weeks without it. Some people have trouble with the idea that I drank one time they saw me but are choosing not to the next time. It’s a bit like the way some straight or gay people can’t wrap their heads around the concept of bisexuality… “which one are you? Straight or gay? Teetotal or drinker?” 😂
