Does anyone know any good tutorials for BASIC? I can't seem to find one.

If Applesoft BASIC is OK:

the referenced online simulator is actually decent:

It only JUST occurred to me. All my life I've been saying "Zed-80" and "6502", whereas probably most Americans say "Zee-80". Never thought about it before... how weird... "zee 80" WTF is that?

Given Zilog was an American company I am afraid the "islanders" are wrong.
Federico Faggin was Italian so he may have learnt English there and as such potentially used "zed" and quickly converted to "zee" once he moved to the US ... we will likely never know.
And as a poster already stated "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead"

I bought a new Xbox One S 1 TB for a friend and her 2 kids. It took like 2 hours for it to download all the updates and for them to log in and create a gamer tag (just one). It is the NBA2K edition, and sadly it didn't come with a physical disc -- just a card with the redemption code on it. I am glad I didn't get them the all digital edition, as their mom bought them 5 games on disc. I guess the games would've came with a redemption code, but it's nice to have the physical disc option for games and Blu-rays.

@ClassicGMR assuming a 300 baud modem it would have taken about 2.25 minutes to download the 4K of pacman, note how the size of games has progressed, 26GB is about 7 million times bigger than 4K, I am sure my internet speed today is not 7 million times faster (300 bauds = approx 30 bytes/sec times 7 millions = 210MB/sec aka 2.1 Gbps ...) let alone in 2015 when I bought the Master chief Collection bundle.
It seems it doesn't really matter the tech advancements, the amount of crap they manage to put into "modern" games truly is speechless.

You are lucky, years ago I bought my wife the XBox One Halo special edition for her bday because she's a fan of the series.
Lo and behold a day one patch of 26Gb ... wtf, we had the damn thing download overnight, she literally couldn't play her favorite game until next day ... soured by that experience I have yet to buy a PS5 (needless to say I have not bought much of any XB-one games) ... this is demented, this online nonsense is giving game publishers a free pass to publish utter crap followed by a zero-day update ... keep your shit to yourselves morons, and release when it's ready and play-tested, I value my time dearly, I am getting old, and you wasting it like it means jackshit to you freed me from any loyalty to you, your brand or your expensive crap ... actually on second thought thank you for being a greedy, short-term focused shark so now I really DON'T look forward to anything you have to say allowing me to save even more time.

Sorry, the word of the day was 'assimilation.'

Did you remember to wake up? The bell is ringing. Don't you dare hit that snooze button!

Apparently, Lou Costello had a brief career as a boxer under the name Lou King. O_o

Neo Geo CD is a gateway console that leads to harder cartridge-based SNK consoles....

I just played Alex Kidd in Miracle World on my Game Boy Advance. The EverDrive GBA X5 is truly a wondrous thing.

Reptoline from google is supposed to speed Windows 10 back up. To me it sounds like lube juice for my Gecko!

Where are the helpful extraterrestrials? They were supposed to be here 9 years ago.

Black boxes always survive plane crashes. So why not make the rest of the plane survive too?

https://kiblitzing.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-game-with-no-name.html Today I learned that the Master System wasn't always the Master System, but simply, "The Sega System." Hey, everyone always referred to game consoles by their manufacturers in those days anyway.

When i used to go to the gym with my dad, everyone used to hang out in the locker room with their wang out. Now I notice younger people change hurredly, worried you will catch a glimpse of their tiny pecker. Millennials are ruining the locker room nudity industry!!

It's close to summertime here in the Northern Hemisphere. And the low-intelligence drivers are leaking out of the apartment complexes.

No more boing boing on the Boeing. If it's Boeing we're not going.

Is anyone else going to purchase the Mega Sg from Analogue Interactive? If so what controller will you be using? The system promises zero lag, but their advertised wireless controller from 8bitdo is known to have latency issues.

The GDEMU has arrived, but I'm going to wait until the tray arrives to install it. In the meantime, let's talk Mortal Kombat. One of these games is coming to Game Pass, but which one? https://kiblitzing.blogspot.com/2019/03/wait-of-world.html

Intel is failing and can't get smaller than 14nm. AMD, Apple, Samsung, TSMC are all at 10nm and almost at 7 already!

Power Slave by Iron Maiden is still the best 80’s metal album.

you don't stop playing games because you are old;

3 years in with my first child ... and I'm done, no siblings ... I'm way way too old for this.

Built a wood house for the kids. I seriously miscalculated the effort and time required. But my muscles are bulging XD
