Me: Yes. Does Robocop count as a zombie? I mean, technically he died and they brought him back to life, or is he more of a Frankenstein’s monster? Interviewer: I meant questions about the job. Like holiday, that sort of thing.

Talking of TV reboots. If I was in charge I'd remake Murder She Wrote and have her killing people off to get more work and sell books and stuff. I'd call it Murder She Done. Could have Christopher Columbo in it too and Kojax competing with her. They could all live in a flat together.

Hello! PsychicParrot (Jeff) here, a solo indie game dev who makes games for PC, Xbox and sometimes ZX Spectrum, as a Tea Monster. My Itch page is here: psychicparrot.itch.io You can find some of my games on Steam, as well as Xbox: store.steampowered.com/search/?deve... Have a lovely day! 👍

Daft thing is that in my rush to post links to my stuff, I completely forgot to post a link to my actual Tea Monster website teamonstergames.com which was a bit silly, but hardly unsurprising given the state of my brain!

I had to sketch that amazing photo from yesterday, to make sure I never forget it.

First (real) playthrough of StarQuake. Need to play it a few more times till I'm happy with it (plus I'm really crap at it !) #GameDev #Pico8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jwx...

Finally flippin’ got one. First time I’ve not had a console on launch day since the PS1 gen, I think. Now I can review/mock review/etc. your Switch 2 games!

Thanks for the new follows. I mostly post about retro gamedev and other such things. I don't do politics, there's enough of that crap in real life. Online for me is a place to share creativity and fun stuff. I won't follow back or engage with political posters. Life's too short.
