Episode Details

There is always something fun and nerdy happening over on The Lunduke Journal Community (Lunduke.Locals.com). Let’s take a tour of some of my favorite stuff that’s being talked about this week (ending October 21st, 2022).

Note: This is by no means comprehensive. This is just a handful of the fun posts that jumped out at me this week. Things that made me smile. More family friendly, troll-free nerdiness than you can shake a stick at.

Here is the podcast. And the links. All in one place.

If you don’t have access to Lunduke.Locals.com, you can do so directly through Lunduke.Locals.com — and it is a perk of some subscription types of The Lunduke Journal.

A new 8-Bit fantasy computer / VM

GeekOnSkates shows off his new project: Geek-Rig. Here’s how he describes it:

“The Geek-Rig is software that works like a brand new 8-bit computer. I've heard all kinds of names for projects like this, ranging from "fantasy emulator" to "emulator of a system that doesn't exist" to "virtual machine". I kind of like the idea of calling it a VM, cuz that really is the most accurate and least wordy description. Anyway, it runs on an emulated 6502, the same processor as most 8-bit things ran on, and designed to run inside a Linux terminal. I expect its main purpose will be for games, though of course it's not limited to just that.”

So cool!

Peleg posed the question. Many, many thoughts.
