Blackbird (2007 Honda CBR 1100 XX). Had it from a year old and can't find anything as good to replace it! Waiting for Mr Honda to come out with a proper replacement, not that VFR 12 letdown.

Well, I just went out and tried to follow the guidance, but only 1st and 2nd gear at high revs seemed even remotely licence retaining speeds! 🙄 Good fun though, thanks F9.

Yep, UK are trying to do the same, also Conservatives! 👎

Hey, there's always double-clicking the icon too. Now that is exhausting.

Wickes is still going strong I believe. I've not heard anything to the contrary!

More of a binary chop really.

SDL is Simple Direct-media Layer (I think) and is a low level c++ frame work for writing games and multimedia applications. I wrote everything from the main loop to sprite animation classes, smoothing, serialisation, menus etc. etc. Great fun to have total control but also a pain, so Godot is a joy though I might investigate c++ to supplement gdscript as I'm not really into the python style (yet). Have a look at SDL here https://www.libsdl.org/

Awesome, keep at it. I have a on/off relationship with game dev, as my day job is programming so it often feels like a bus man's holiday to spend more hours at the keyboard, but the results are fun. Currently trying out some old ideas with latest Godot. Much easier than SDL and writing everything myself in c++ which I've done before.

Thanks, I did quite like Silver and A Dead... they had an interesting vibe. I'll be looking into those 👍

Yeah, OK, I know doom scrolling and navel gazing but this has me stumped. I like a bit of Katatonia so my interest is piqued. Got any examples?

Same here, must be over 50 times since 99 when it first came out on dvd. Most of those in the first few years showing off my flash new dual disc dvd player!
