Oh I've heard of Furnacetracker! Wow I checked the GitHub, you weren't kidding. I may need to have a play. If you're into gameboys my friend's working on Retroplug and it's pretty neat!

That FM twang though, Ecco the dolphin on the Megadrive got me hooked as a kid. Are you playing with a hardware YM2608 or through Furnacetracker?

I don't ... how do you even reply to that? Wow thanks, I'm cured?

They are coots not ducks, which are still fantastic (angry) birds! They have awesome lobed feet.

Hey, another chiptuner! What's your setup? I use 2 DMGs with LSDj, looking to muck around with a C64 too.

Oh that's too precious!

I love that cockatiels have their own 'memes' like Alex' honk (he's sorely missed) and Merle's dippidoos, but my favourite has to be the cookie song! Also, I love his avian accent.

They look like right little characters! Do they get on well?

This is so exciting! Boost was my app of choice for the old place. I'm glad to see this here.

I can hear this photo (sleepy beak crunches). Such pretty colours!

Ha, by the end of the paragraph I was reading it entirely in his voice.

Huh, I'm having a devil of a time trying to subscribe from .world. Usually searching the second URL would do it, but I'm getting the "you are not logged in..." message.

ETA: got it, it worked in Connect!

 

I love watching these guys hurl themselves through the air. There's been some hybridisation with rainbow lorikeets, which are invasive to Tasmania and increasing in number.

(I had to screenshot my photo to get it to upload in portrait orientation, as the original kept reverting to landscape. Is there any way to prevent this?)
