Aside from the Laxir sets and a bunch of other end of line ae, most stuff goes in the 'Tracks' playlist for me. Might tinker with some more thematic playlists rather than rely on shuffle.

Really happy we got more from the land of wind and ghosts that is sinistrail. 'sinistrailAB air' was but a single heartbeat in the grand arrhythmia of NTS, one that many ears may have overlooked while being engulfed in the broader strokes of the wide epics on offer. 'sinistrail sentinel' broadens that breathy expanse, allowing it to pulse and shudder into a larger form, one that couldn't be tamed into one of the sessions. It stands alone confidently and with no less importance as a mere giveaway. A fine gift to cap off a bountiful year of Autechre output. SCORE: 96.3° C OUT OF 100° C

I already have a bunch of carts stashed away to keep my SNT happy, but the occasional browse on ebay is dangerous territory! I needed that nice SMW. I have a couple of PAL copies floating around, but I've always wanted a clean, original Japanese copy. I think it's been sat in a box for the last 25+ years, it's close to pristine! Fortunately I did likewise with some other choice cuts a few years back: Japanese cover art was great back then. There was something very specific about the skinny Super Famicom game box dimensions that meant artists didn't have quite as much space to fill as with other formats. Most covers were very bold and colourful to attract attention, they kind of had to be: Funny how the same problem is happening in the dominant digital age. Switch is the first system in a long time where Nintendo have been swamped by third parties, in fact they haven't had it this good since the SNES days. Trouble now is, all those games are vying for your money in the eshop, which is bursting at the seams with a weekly onslaught of new titles. Oh, and as for Smash... there's a rumour that my Switch might get lucky at Christmas, gotta wait and see

1 fancy new trak a week during December to mimic the weekly NTS seshes? srpls

New York Times: The 28 (?) Best Albums of 2018 10. Autechre, ‘NTS Sessions 1-4’ "The electronic duo Autechre delivered a magnum opus — eight hours of music — commissioned by the online London station NTS. It’s a fully imagined artificial universe of improbable timbres and rhythms, of repetitions cracked and warped, of long waits and sudden tangents, of propulsion and suspension, of expectations set up and undermined, of menacing implications and funny noises. Brittle, fractured, pointillistic patterns lead, eventually, to weightless, sustained rapture. The final track is nearly an hour long: a reverential, euphoric haze."

Turns out getting that Super NT is going to cost me more monies... finally got myself a very nice copy of SMW. Also loose carts of Goemon 2 + 3 arrived

I suspect this last bit of 'chre for the year is cannily releasing now, just in time to hit the charts and become the UK Christmas number one Soundboards aside, 2018 played host to the biggest output of Autechre... ever. It almost seems greedy to wonder what's on the horizon, especially when NTS remains as bountiful as it is. Fingers crossed for some WARP30 related shenanigans in 2019!

Nothing special needed for this one. 1) Play the track you want to grab 2) View source 3) search for 'mp3' and you'll get a link you can copy and paste to another window, right click, save as. Job done

Former Sierra On-Line dev posts original source codes to eBay Former Sierra On-Line developer and creator of the Leisure Suit Larry games Al Lowe is listing the original source code for games he worked on to eBay, with more to follow. As reported by Ars Technica, Lowe plans on listing more of his collection to eBay, which will likely include his other Leisure Suit Larry games, Kings Quest III, and Police Quest I. As of right now, the source code for Leisure Suit Larry 2 is currently bidding at over $2,000 USD. In addition, Lowe explains that he saved the original backups of his complete programming pipeline, which include the Sierra utilities that converted plain-text, ASCII commands to interpreted code. Lowe warns potential buyers that the disks haven't been tested so there's no guarantee that they will work, and owning the disks does not grant legal rights to commercially redistribute them. "Realize that, while you’ll have my data as of the day of Larry 1’s creation, you will not own the intellectual property rights to the game, the code, the art, or anything else," Lowe says in the Leisure Suit Larry 1 listing.

No probs. Do give that article a read if you want to get a grasp of the technical stuff going on behind the scenes.

I have a plentiful stash of SNES carts. It's probably my favourite console out of them all, there's a reason I kept hold of it all from back then. A lot of loose cart pickups aren't as pricey as you might think. Sure, there are collector grails that run for silly money, but there's a lot that can be had on the cheap, especially if you're shopping for Japanese versions. This probably covers it better than I could: Super Nt Review - The Ideal FPGA Console? There is no true substitute for original hardware. But that's not what the SNT is about - it's for breathing life into original carts on a system that aims to recreate as accurately as possible the original experience on modern displays. If you want to use an original SNES, you'll have to track down a 1-chip unit, then invest in something like a Framemeister which is the wrong side of 'reasonably priced' just to get that system displaying properly on an HDTV... or a CRT, an even pricier prospect, many of which are ageing fast with no real way to fix them when they die... Emulation is an easy option. But to compare what the SNT does with snake-oil-esque claims of the benefits of 'gold-plated cables' does it a huge disservice. It may not be a device for everyone, but it's certainly one for me.
