Wrathchild Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Quote ... regular readers will know that we'd normally feature this in our Homebrew section rather than the Mailbag. Unfortunately, our regular Homebrew author Jason Kelk has been in ICU with COVID-19, so we've put our Homebrew section on hold for the time being. If you'd like to show your support you can visit his GoFundMe page at https://bit.ly/jkgofundme Initially I was surprised as its one of my first-to-go-to sections, so then searched more to see if there was an explanation and the back-of-your-mind worst fears were realised when reading the above. They're close to their target and so let's help get them over the line as @TMR has been a very welcome visitor and contributor to this forum! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ely Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Thanks for the heads-up. I love the Home-brew section is RG and I was wondering where it was in 208. I’ve donated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Also donated. I have a rule to never give to charities (as they can spend all the money on flights and lavish parties), but to keep that in mind and give to good causes around myself, such as this. Jason has been good enough to make games for us all, for free. I hope you get well soon Jason. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone! Like I say I posted about this. A while ago, but it got trolled so I withdrew it. Glad to see there is a lot of love for TMR/Jason a lovely bloke who has 'put a lot in' and never taken anything out. Always has time for anyone and although I don't know him that well, I have bothered him with coding questions for years and he is always kind enough to never point out how stupid I am, he is a good conversationalist and always talks a great deal of sense. Keep on fighting Jason, and don't forget your 'special moves!'. Edited June 11, 2020 by Guest Additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Jason is a great bloke who I have had the privilege to know and work with, I'd known of his work on the C64 and another C64 fave , Bod / Darren of Talent was also a mate so the C64 was common ground. Jase always has a good word for folks and although when he visited our branch of the company he got ribbed silly but took it all in his stride. To be honest it was a shock when I saw his stuff on the Atari, I never knew he had one. So get better Jase and "Don't steal from here again!" In joke..

aNdy_v Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm a member of Cosine with T.M.R (my C64 6502 coding mentor) and I've written a simple C64 demo to cheer him up (hopefully) while he is frustrated in ICU. I have some memory left for messages in the scroller, so if you want a message added please leave a post below with a short message (couple of sentences max.) and the handle/name you want assigned to it. First come first served. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Maybe add a general greeting, like "Greetings from Atari Age 8Bit forum users!" or something similar ? Donated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 They've just had a major breakthrough!!! https://www.itv.com/news/2020-06-16/coronavirus-deaths-reduced-by-up-to-a-third-using-breakthrough-dexamethasone-drug-trial-finds/ They're giving ICU patients this from Tomorrow and to top it off there in an abundance of supply across the country! I don't know if this drug would/will help Jason, but I really hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Yup, lets have our good old TMR back...And of course we hope it saves as many lives as possible.. Edited June 16, 2020 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said 'Keep Fighting Jason! And don't forget your special moves!' I messaged you about Jason weeks ago on E64. At that point I was just querying if you had heard from him, I suspected he had it, I got it too. I seem to have been incredibly lucky though.
