Ever have one of those nights where you're idly cleaning up your workstation/transit machine and you realize they uploaded the last-helicopter-out archive of TUCOWS to you and you forgot to upload it?
I've gone off on this before, so forgive the readers with memories, but watching this ZX Spectrum stuff fly by the screenshotter right now at the rate of over 100 titles an hour, reminds me of what a sweet spot 1980s computers were for the potential of transcendent 8-bit works.
