Image of a fake video game concept I came up with. Here, I'm playing a "choose your own adventure" style game based on the movie The Ring, and my 2 choices are "Watch Tape" and "Don't watch tape." I picked the wrong choice, because the evil ghose with long black hair is coming out of the TV in the game and is crawling towards us. Digital painting I made in 2023 on an original Amiga computer using Deluxe Paint III.
One of my earliest digital paintings made on an Amiga computer using Deluxe Paint III. This is based on the classic TRON movie power where two characters from the film are standing in front of the letter "O" with a beam of light going straight up from the man's hands.
Easily the most difficult image I've ever done in Deluxe Paint. This one nearly broke me. It has the "Heavy Metal" logo in the background with the original "Amiga" logo below that. On the right side, a depiction of a beautiful female robot designed by Hajime Sorayama looking out at the viewer.

@gruber @limi boo hiss

I'll stack the C128's colors + sound next to the //c any day, even though they both died. Plus it had 3 OSes to choose from. Pretty cool.

Honestly pre-1991 C='s hardware was solid. Post 1991 it quickly became dated (and C= sat on it pretty much from the day they either made it or acquired it). The 90s ate Commodore's lunch. Leadership was tragically clueless.

80s, though? They had the best-selling computer before the invention of the iPhone.

@gruber @limi I tend to agree with that sentiment. Their marketing dept (and R&D) seemed so incredibly broken by the late 80s. And their complete lack of knowing what to do with Amiga has been chronicled ad nauseam.

Fun chatting with you, Gruber. I’ve been a fan and DF regular since before the original iPhone. (I became a big Mac guy during the dot com boom of the late 90s.) ☮️

@thomasfuchs And yellowing plastics! I've seen quite a few A1K keyboards where only the front edge has yellowed and the rest is pristine.

I made some structural/internal upgrades for my SX-64 styled C64 Ultimate Elite w/Mechboard computer.

LOVE the new power button on the side.

It has been a long day. I need some music to relax.

[This was my daily driver setup in 2020. Sadly, that machine has had to undergo years-worth of repairs since. Almost ready to get back on the desk.]

Lalapalooza 1992.
I was there.

I was really lucky to get this tape as they were handed out to a few folks as we entered the the concert grounds. Amazing I still have it.

I wish the election was behind us already. I’m tired of the growing sense of dread.
