ZX vs C64?@pfernandes C64, naturally. But really, I code for both 6502 & Z80 equally

@Kroc I was a ZX, but that was because I could not afford a C64, both are dream machines from my childhood

I've been #writing every day for 15 weeks, ~3 months! I thought it was only a month!? Sometimes I might only write a sentence or two in a day, sometimes it's five hours.I've passed 30'000 words now, ~120 pages in standard UK paperback size.
Over-arching plotting is by far the hardest part; actually putting out words -- describing things, capturing moments -- I don't find any difficulty with, but I've been going through a long chunk of what I call Disney-ride exposition: An on-rails section of stopping points to explain things. This bit has been slow going, but I may just have to write it and come back another time to change it. Those who like world-building won't be short for details!
Would anybody be interested in an #ebook / PDF of what I've written so far?
You can read large chunk of it here: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/115895172569381595 but Mastodon scrolling is probably not a good reading experience.

Before I set up #Patreon, are there any recommended platforms to do similar that are less... US-based...?

@Kroc A commonly used one here in France is Tipeee, also available in English. Not sure how good it actually is.

Go get it! I could faint from how straining it was taking this from plain-text files to an #ebook / PDF that looks half-way decent!
https://camendesign.com/nomad—edit: forgot to say, if you’ve been reading the Mastodon posts, the ebook contains a whole new chapter that hasn’t been published here!
(I'll make a more formal toot in a moment to serve as a permanent pin. This one is for the followers)

@Kroc That form factor is a local maximum in mobile system design.

@Kroc nice. I used one of those and a prototype GPS board to navigate all the way down to the South of France and back. I had some funny looks when people saw a 14" x 10" PCB on the dashboard!
