I'm not religious either but you do find some surreal gems in that category. Like that racing game where you're in a library then everyone turns into animals and you have races over various courses while God commentates and then at the end Noah hosts an animal disco and everybody dances.
I don't think you can really beat a good old heartfelt "for fucks sake" really.
And after a bit more swearing synth settings are correctly loading and saving with the rest of the VLM presets. Now I'll be able to save my favourite noodling settings :D

Morning Sheep Time
Actually not a bad day. I even ended upgetting a bike ride in. Everybody in the bottom field. The two little ones running to greet me with their tails going round and round as they run is a sight that never gets old.

Right I have what lookslike a sensible synth preset savefile. Cup of tea, feed the sheep, get something to eat myself, then I'll see if I can get it to load in and set up the synth correctly.
Decided to bust the lube out, it's been a while. (since I oiled my chain). 🚴
Well that was nice. Lots oflambs about.
(Reminds me, I haven't seen the lonely ram since tupping time. I hope they didn't just use him up and throw him away).
I have achieved multitimbre simultaneous playback with each timbre having its own delay buffer.
I hereby award myself a bike ride as the sun is actually out.
Ate two eggs.
Nice to see that Swansea City beat Portsmouth last night. I'm not particularly a Swansea fan. But as a lifelong Southampton supporter it's always good to see Portsmouth getting beaten.
Off to bed now, in the back of my head trying to imagine what a religious version of Spiders of Mars would be like.
Which makes those that have, and which are still enjoyable to this day, all the more remarkable. Just reconfirms how good the likes of Asteroids and Roby really are.
Really great game design is independent of tech and such games willl always be a pleasure to play.
Pity there was never a Spiders of Mars remake on the C64.
Peter Fokos remained active in gamedev for many years, creating a religious version of Dance Dance Revolution called Dance Praise.
I would have enjoyed a religious remake of Spiders of Mars though. One of the best Vic20 shooters.
I mean "vector game on the Vic 20" with pixels the size of breezeblocks absolutely shouldn't work. But Omega Race was pretty damn good.
Must check out more MAX games to see if they are universally smeg. Surprisingly so given they use c64 chips but bugger all RAM is a bitch I guess.
As we all realise now. Nothing new under the sun.
The Commodore MAX version of Wizard of Wor is SO RUBBISH compared to the proper version. Proper load of old smeg, no wonder they never released it.
hah I had no idea someone made a conversion of Fortress of Narzod onto the C64! Sounds unlikely but it's really nicely done!
No AmazonPrime I do NOT want to watch bloody Melania on my telly, piss off with that, duw duw.
I think I'd better eat something.
TO THE AIR FRYER!
after a COPIOUS amount of swearing I have got to the point whereI can edit 4 synth presets andswitch between them without things going bananas. Next I havetomake itso you can play different presets at thesame time.
And now out to shovel shit in the cold grey drizzle.
Fucks sake.
JESUS CHRIST I HATE THIS FUCKING WEATHER JUST ENDLESS RAIN AND GREY AND COLD FOR FUCKS SAKE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH 🦬

Morning Sheep Time
Still no real feeling of Spring, thatone sunny day feels like an anomaly in the endless winter. All biscuits in without incident. Escorted politely by Brambles and Buster, who both demonstrate that sheep need their cuddles.

I could stay working on it for ages, it's loads of fun and I'm learning, but I need to do other things and I can always extend it further later if I want.
But hey, we have our own synth now! And it sounds really cool!
Result! 🐂🎶

Morning Sheep Time
Of course we're back to the grey, one dayof sun was all we get apparently. Unexpected crapload ofbirds at the start, full and easy biscuit insertion, same pack as yesterday when they were all weird with them. Butted by Panda.

AND since I cleaned this keyboard the damn space bar isflaky and intermittent.
FUCK.
Trying to get sheep time off the camera. 2 different SD card readers won't read the damn thing for some reason. Oh wait Ifound a standalone SD card to USB adapter the other day, I'll use that... there's half a broken SD card jammed in the slot and I can't get it out.
