In which MIke gets all nostalgic for 1990’s multi-user BattleTech technology, command-line terminals and online rôle-play.

  • It turns out I was mistaken, and Sarna doesn’t (yet) have an entry for BT 3056, but it does have one for 3025.

Note: I mostly edited this podcast using the AI features of the paid version of Riverside.FM. I have to say it is much quicker than picking out ‘erm’ as a waveform in Audacity, but I’m not 100% happy with its ability to detect silences and match words to audio. You may find a few bits of this a little glitchy, for which I apologise. I’ll probably go back to Audacity for serious editing going forward, but Riverside is excellent for multi-participant recording and large-scale edits with the aid of its transcript feature, so I will continue to use it for that going forward.

In which Mike and guest Andy Dickinson of Leeds Wargames Club attempt to remember when they first met, discuss LAMs, Camospecs, running clubs and shows, as well as upcoming events including Adepticon and the English Nationals. And digress a lot 😀

I’ve just upgraded to a paid version of Riverside.FM for my podcasting, so hopefully audio recording, editing and cleanup should be better and less work going forward!
