The heavy debt load was caused by his purchase… He paid $26 bn, a couple other investors (including a Saudi prince) together paid $5 bn, the remaining $13 bn is a loan Twitter took out to buy itself on Musk’s behalf.
The purchase was always a financial death sentence. Either Twitter steps into line and becomes the propaganda tool he and his old friend Peter Thiel want, then it can have some extra investment, or Twitter dies.
Of course! It’s because of Threads! Don’t you guys get it? They stole their secrets!! It has absolutely nothing to do with how things are being run on twitter or because Elon Musk is a genius!!!

Fuck Musk and fuck twitter and all that goes with it.
I had the Apple IIGS port of Rastan. I thought it looked amazing at the time. I am guessing it was about on par with the MS-DOS port, but maybe with more vivid colors.

PS: very thematically fitting that this should come right after a Bad Luck Brian meme in my feed 😂
Though it’s technically inferior, I love the art style of the spectrum port. The character sprites are almost inked on like a Tiger Handheld. The backgrounds are too distracting in a couple of levels, but it does look nice in its own way.
It’s certainly a distinct look, and I say that as a Speccy person from way back.
It’s weird, it’s so often the case that the Spectrum version is the weakest graphically, but because of a few factors (faster CPU, slightly higher resolution) it had the most faithful feeling ports.
