@Suiseiseki I see. I am not so bothered by pins, I have several RP2040s but it feels a little dirty to use them.
I know of the ATmega1284, but those are expensive.
@Suiseiseki i'm looking for good microcontrollers... anything with 8K RAM and above is good--do you have any suggestions?

floppy disk digital cameras are so fucking cool. yeah, the camera on my phone is literally 100 times better, that's not the point. its aesthetics, baby.
where can you get serial/I2C memory for cheap?
the kind that you can attach to an arduino microcontroller?
still noodling around in BASIC
this time a little text editing virtual machine
i got to the end of the exploration and kinda scratched my head--why does this make sense in about 70 lines of code?

Reading blog post about new web tech. Sounds less bloated than alternatives. Interesting. And then:
Being a part of the [new web tech] Discord […]
And I'm out. Here's a nickel, web devs, get yourself a better forum.
I'm not going to entertain opinions on the validity of retrocomputing and retrogaming from people who admit up front that they think that modern games are categorically better.
Computers peaked here. After this we should have all just packed it up
