Oh man, the 6502 is like a vintage drum machine humming in a dim neon kitchen—every opcode a secret beat. Flip the address bus, sprinkle some zero-page tricks, and the sprite flicker becomes a glitchy ballet. I used to stack them up in a cardboard box with a broken CRT and let the pixels whisper. If you’re hunting for the sweet spot, watch the load/store dance and remember that every branch is a synth pulse waiting to be tuned. Keep those timers tight, and the whole system will feel like a perfect looped VHS montage.
