There are now THREE Southern Old Lady Moths banging around in the lounge. Because I have to leave the laundry open for Cindy the Greyhound. Probably going to whack me in the face as I sleep.

I have been designing all the cities of the Dreamlands. It is a time consuming process, since Lovecraft decided to write about each one in such detail, and I've realized that this particular city is all wrong! Still, I might keep it after making some modifications... #ScreenshotSaturday

Jumping into late night Jackbox games. I got accused of being a bot :D

Huh... All replies were set to disabled. Oh well, if you really wanted to interact, now you can. This account is more a stream of consciousness than much else.

I always found Sakeersian rather disingenuous and her arguments formed via manipulation and bad faith, but could largely ignore her and the gamergate crowd. I don't care for Slay the Spire 2 because I highly dislike deckbuilders, so... 🤷‍♂️ You gamers be gamers, I guess. I'll play something ancient.

The only reason I'm not driving out for a late night KFC craving is that none of the featured offers are any good. It's also expensive now. ...I think I have nuggets and chips in the freezer...

Hundreds of hours in Civ2, many hundreds of hours in Civ 3, a dozen or so in Civ 4, low single digits in Civ5 and BE... Yeah, I gave up. Civ2, Civ3, and SMAC :D, still exist and I'm happy just to play them until my bones perish.

Furries, rejoice! For Space Vulpine has returned to encourage a new generation of R34 arts! (I have never played a Star Fox game, and all I know is that it wrongly taught people what a barrel roll is. AILERON 4 LIFE.)

They always say that books are a bit magical. It turns out that this librarian mage draws her powers from exactly those books, so imagine how great it must feel to find an entire forgotten library! This was a patreon reward for TeraKat!

It's true! I'm hiring another senior writer for my team. Position is FT, remote. Come work with me and some truly brilliant, creative folks to create Cyberpunk 2 💥🦾 www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2205...

Youtube has decided that the recommendations should be "This big game failed, because" tonight. And for the few that are not AIgen or voiced by a dribbling spigot gen-z who struggles with sentences longer than five words, each game is inevitably a multi-million multiplayer title I've not heard of.

Hooray! It is payday. I also had a bill for council rates... Hooray! $700 ish to pay for poorly filled potholes and inconsistent garbage collection!

Caution: life guard on duty Pulling the masking tape off this one at the end felt soooo good 💦

It's going to turn out this is where the sexy alien jellyfish people are, right? They're all going to speak in a Geordie accent and be addicted to Guy Ritchie movies and the specific colour of IRN-BRU. Soon as they get one probe they can hitchhike on they'll invade France. apnews.com/article/plut...

To no surprise ever, the RBA pulled the lever and will drain me of an extra ~$60 per month in rates. I do not take holidays. I do not drink a morning coffee. I barely buy anything for myself. My ankle and hip are too stuffed, but if you want to storm the government, I'll cheer you on.

Dragon *crowd goes wild*

Kobolds, excitedly: “Ren!! Is this a fossil?” Ren: “No, my darlings. That is a rock.” Kobolds look at each other and pause. Kobolds: “YAY!! A ROCK!!!!”

Men truly are simple creatures. Bless.

I've been doing this costume business stuff for 18 years and somehow I'm still finding new ways to challenge myself, this time with a fish made of scuba knit techno neoprene athletic double knit whateveryoucallit, covered in hours upon hours of hand painted markings and texturing

Episode 1 of Map Men was uploaded TEN years ago today!!! 🎂 🎉 Why not celebrate by watching all 37* episodes in a row right now? youtube.com/playlist?lis... (*33 if you don’t count the ones that don’t count)

Greetings heroes! Olden Era sold over 500k copies! Since the game's launch you’ve posted over 6000 reviews and over 25,000 of you have become a part of our Discord. We have also hit a new record of almost 60,000 of you playing Olden Era according to SteamDB charts. Thanks to your amazing support!

Just Finished Replaying: The Legend of Grimrock 2 100% full completion. That final achievement ended up being in the Lexiconary, a minor skeleton trap I did not trigger. It took over 2 hours to go from 76 to 77, and I gave up using a guide to find it.

Grimrock 2, Hard Mode & Oldschool Mode completed. Now... I'm still missing some achievements / secrets. damn.

HoMM:OE took the HoMM3 formula, with its inbuilt legion of fans, and updated everything in to a new game based on that one. It's also had constant fan feedback and interaction. I'd be more shocked if this only sold a few hundred. Well done team.

NetHack 5.0.0 was released today, and MS-DOS is still one of the official platforms: nethack.org/common/index...

Reminder that Spookies is the greatest movie ever made, because it's the only one where the Grim Reaper gets thrown off a roof and explodes.

Oooooh 'please donate' scam bots. Sure, you can have $50, that looks totally legit. Sadly that kinda thing works.

I’m sure this isn’t in service to something horrible.

PANELING

I drew that sign as temp art, assuming a real artist would replace it. I think they left it in to punish me. Look, it’s not easy to draw a cursive F with a mouse in Enhanced Deluxe Paint II.

Oddly not the Grimrock games. And I'm nearly done with old-school mode in Grimrock 2. Just gotta hunt down some secrets before I enter Castle Nex and finally 100% it.

Some good ones in here: Wizardry 8, Anachronox, Might & Magic VII, The Pit Osmium Edition, Arx Fatalis, and Albion for a few Ausbux each. The Avernum and geneforge games a bit more. The Kings Bountry reboot pack or Morrowind for just over a tenner.

Repaired a student chromebook at the end of the day. Screen came up, but no touch. I touch, trying to slide it back in (battery and power disconnected). Cables started smoking. My fingers started burning. Good Times! Not had to fill out an incident report in a long time.

mmm lunchtime

6-month update on switching from Windows 11 to Linux as a Content Creator guy. Since my YT video on my experience switching, I'd like to happily report that Fedora Linux has been awesome and I haven't ran into any major problems in terms of streaming, video editing, recording, PDF making, etc.

Alien Soup has a new episode of his Unguinded series on Morrowind. Its fascinating watching him play and learn the game over each ep... This time he gets lost in Vivec. We've all gotten lost in Vivec. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ5K...

Broadcast Interruption #3danimation

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

16 colors (3 #Amiga bitplanes) of Simon filth for no reason ... worth it!

it’s coming together

An update for anybody wondering whether I still hang out with spiders and play old games…

"them", people don't like "them".
