The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

‘Like and follow’, a short award winning CGI animated film from 2021 by Brent Forrest and Tobias Schlage. Unfortunately very true for many children (and adults), but again …, luckily there are healthy alternatives to escape from these toxic social media and gaming platforms …

I've been sitting here thinking about the practical effects used in The Thing, and it has made me a little annoyed at how CGI has taken over the world of horror.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I miss when it wasn't relied on. There's something charming about practical horror effects.
