Always good for a repost

It's Commander Keen 1-3's 35th ANNIVERSARY! It was wonderful making them with John Romero, John Carmack, and Adrian Carmack. And heartwarming to hear fans loved them. Homages: paranoidcactus.itch.io/captain-neat... paloblancogames.itch.io/sally-neptune Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command...

Today marks the 35th anniversary of Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons which also means it's time for some quinquennial self-promotion: youtu.be/X4bkptxpu_I?...

A shout-out to my boy Feebas who didn't let anyone or anything—not even a dry battery that halted berry growth—stop him from becoming his true, beautiful self. (Footage of Pokémon Emerald Version captured from my Game Boy Player in July 2022.)

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) is now older than Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings (1978) was when Fellowship of the Ring was released.

A "De-ICE" you say? 🤔

And just like that, Betteridge's law remains true.

Lord help me I'm going in

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

Don't look too close to the solder job, but I'm feeling a little proud I was able to resurrect my buddy's childhood copy of Pokémon Yellow. [Before and after pictures]

In less than an hour, a year's worth of preparation, 67 hours of editing, and five exasperated-but-brilliant contestants will all come down to this. It's BFYTW Does Taskmaster time. Buckle up.

Be sure to check out the schedule for this raid train loaded up with retro streamers! My slot is on December 13th if you'd like to stop in, but there's plenty of great people to catch all week long.

Leave it to the Americans to miss satire.

Saying you can’t leave that platform because of your follower count is like staying on a sinking ship because you really love the view from your cabin. The ocean doesn’t care how many people once waved at you from the dock...

Who needs psychics when there are Nurse Practitioners

I don't see what the big deal is.

This is the first time I've made DOS freeware in 20 years. The time was right, and what a ride. I made sure it can run on my Tandy 2500, a 386SX/20, off a floppy. You can play via browser too. Check the others out too. So many good games! hollerpots.itch.io/europa-panic #msdos #ega #adlib #tandy

THIRTY NINE ENTRIES. 😐 Go play 'em! Leave a lovely comment! Follow the devs! Get inspired!

Let's fund both translations, get these writers and translators paid, and close up the project! Still needed: $2270 (USD) Last donation/purchase: 2:00a EST / 09:00 SAST ($25) Grateful shout out to Claudia Wair and Yilin Wang for the reposts. ko-fi.com/africantrans... #CyberSunday #BookSky

Happy St. Andrew’s Day!

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...

What's the over/under that they just straight up post the 14 words next week?

I won’t even entertain the “AI art makes creating accessible for people who can’t do it” argument. I wasn’t good at art either when I first started. I sucked at pottery for months. The journey of practicing and growing is an incredible thing to experience; you can’t just be good right away.

A very happy Black Friday to all those who haven't yet escaped to space.

The guy who has seen every bit of information on the internet and has been driven mad by it is supposed to be Freakazoid, dammit. How do we get to the alternate timeline where we have Freakazoid instead of ChatGPT?

The most American thing about Thanksgiving is eating a meal that is 90% carbohydrates, then blaming the turkey for making you feel tired.

Is it DOSember time already?

I've released a preview version of "Quest for Erasmus" on Itch. I'm still waiting on some artwork and I'm still working on the code, but I believe that the demo is playable from start to end. You can play in your browser or download it and play it with DOSBox. tacoadventure.itch.io/quest-for-er...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

New DOS game release ... by me! Treasure Hunt II is a textmode game I remember making ~35 years ago. Long lost, I remade it in QuickBasic! Download / play here: dosgames.com/game/treasur... I'll post it on itch.io eventually 😅 Let me know if you notice any bugs ... 🐜 #dosgaming #dosgames

New life goals

Repping #DOSember at #AdventureX today!

oh, that's... that's not... you can't call it that

Happy birthday 🎂 to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System! Released today in 1990. I'm not going to shock you with how old it is, I'm just going to celebrate with my annual Nutella, mustard and jellybean sandwich. 🥪

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point "Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

The Alberta government in a nutshell:

I don't want to hear Danielle Smith ever describe herself as a libertarian again.

I'm so excited to announce I just released my debut novel! 'The Novus Quandary' is pt1 of a new sci-fi trilogy I worked on over the past 5 yrs. If you're keen to support writers in the fandom (much appreciated), it's available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVHDLQQC (and check your specific region).

It’s worth remembering that the UCP aren’t just robbing Albertans of their charter rights… Amery openly conceded that these laws also violate the Alberta Human Rights Act and the Alberta Bill of Rights. That the UCP just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Good Boy, the zaniest game I ever worked on is now in Early Access (10% off). Grab some friends, joint the fun! :) store.steampowered.com/app/3670740/...

I'd even settle for a marshmallow world

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender
