Got my controller in finally from #Commodore and set about to testing it with some games. For action games the joystick is PRECISE! For more strategic games it almost moves too quickly through menus but i believe it can be adjusted. Also played Windigo Production's Rise of Babylon. Fun little game!

Got my new #lyre in today! Check out The Forest Mill on Etsy, when I ordered I even got an audio file from the luthier instructing me how to tune and show what it should sound like.

New Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries DLC announced: Chaos Reign featuring a campaign for the Free World's League and the Fedcom, 10 new mechs including the Sunder (first time since Mechwarrior 3!!) and the Bushwacker, IS Battle Armor, and much more mw5mercs.com/dlc/chaos-re... GET HYPED!!

Last movie you saw 🎬 • The Road to El Dorado Last game you played 🎮 • Banquet for Fools Last show you watched 🖥 • You and I Are Polar Opposites Last song you listened to 🎶 • You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring

The image may not make it obvious but trust me, #banquetforfools is fantastic and I highly recommend it for anyone into early Y2K CRPGs. Try the demo first to get an idea of the combat system. READ the in-game guides or else you'll be a bit lost. But if it clicks man its just oozing charm.

Fuck this DLSS 5 shit and this race for the "Most Graphics" Gaming peaked here IMO! Give me more games that look like this!

Banquet for Fools recently released and it feels like a mixture of Morrowind meets the Dark Crystal and plays like a 2001 CRPG. And I mean all of that in the best possible way. Also the trailer starts with a Saxon Lyre, it speaks to me.

Session 8 of #Dolmenwood complete and in all it went well. The playstyle is still new for some players and I even find myself getting caught up on using a pre-written adventure on the fly. Still good news is the players made it out even if a grimalkin is now purple and the other has a mossy patch.

Finally the People's eyes have begun to open! Lo and see that Pokemon itself is good and it is GameFreak that is the problem. For years I have scorned GameFreak but alas the People did cast their anger upon Nintendo. I mean like they give you reasons too but not for Pokemon! GameFreak sucks butt.

Pokopia is surprisingly good

I'm starting to think the FIFA Peace Prize doesn't really mean that much, to be honest.

Superuser kernelmethod made a world viewer for scrolling around all 13.8 gigapixels of a sample world's surface kernelmethod.org/notes/qud_wo...

Back into #CavesofQud. Actually the first time playing since the 1.0 release and I'm loving it again. Managed to solve a little mystery and convinced the Village Elder's muscle to come adventure with me (alas he will fall to a machine gun turret). Live and Drink friends

A new post from @rconley.bsky.social talking about his approach to Campaign and RPG Design. Curious to see more of his take on #OSR/#OD&D as the Northern Marches project he is finishing up is fantastic and were it not for my Dolmenwood game I would already be trying to run it.

Personally, I think it’s bad that a wildly corrupt pedophile with dementia is President of the United States and is trying to make himself dictator for life.

I made it all the way to the end of Lord rank in #halfsword before realizing you could hire mercenaries to fight with you in some matches....THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER!

holy shit. hell of an analysis

While I think this is often true, it also elides another critical point: professional designers often don't realize how smart and capable people are, espeically people who don't play games. 🧵

Post a banger, not in English. Cheating a bit as it is partially in English but the growl vocals are in Hindi. youtu.be/a65A626Ed20?...

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control. The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

After our 6th session of Dolmenwood we had our Magician stay cooped up in the party's rented Cabin studying a new spell from a stolen spellbook. The party split up to take on two separate mini-sessions getting to the bottom of a smuggling ring in Prigwort. Both minis are done and now on to the full!

How to write a d20 table: 1. write 30 entries 2. either cut the ten weakest entries or add 6 more to make a d66 table 3. profit

There is no defending this. This is cold-blooded murder.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Speaking of nonsense i got back into #Tamagotchi with my wife just a couple days back. Behold my first fully grown goober! The twist feature is a gimmick but a fun one.

Begun the nonsense has... #commodore64

Finally @commodoreofficial.bsky.social , my Commodore 64 Ultimate has arrived! Shes brand new, shes beige, and shes gonna be used for immature nonsense.

Couple quick games at the cafe. Even At Odds was an interesting little abstract and i'll happily play again. Can't Stop is an oldie but a goodie. #boardgames #dominoes

Had some friends over to play board games for my Birthday. We got through Stephenson's rocket and The White Castle. Teach went a little long but really liked Stepheson's Rocket. #boardgames

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

Antiwar, FIFA Peace Prize-winning Trump bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its leader with no Congressional authorization. Got it.

Recently picked up a couple of #C64 games from #Psytronik on itch.io and have to say....the Queen needs to chill about her missing diamonds okay. I tried to rescue her after freeing the three musketeers but noooo she needs ALL of her diamonds. Being serious I'm having a great time with these though

Had a small game day after work with some friends. #magicalathlete was a hit as always and I finally got #barony to the table. Everyone was a bit cautious, being quite defensive and not very aggressive but I think in a future game people would be more comfortable on the attack. #boardgames

#steamreplay2025 Pretty good year for gaming per Steam.

My top games of 2025. For the Mechwarrior 5 Clans DLC you should add include Wolves of Tukkayid and Flash Storm though Wolves won the picture slot because its the better of the two. Nox Archaist out here killing it as an Apple II game making a modern top 10. I'll happily defend any of these choices.

Broke: Die Hard is a Christmas movie Woke: Yakuza is a Christmas game

Why do I keep looking into 8-bit microcomputers? I didn't grow up with them. I don't have a particular need for them and yet....they call to me. Originally was looking into the revived Commodore 64 but theres community 8-bits like the Neo6502, Commander x16 and AgonLight. Help! #8bit #retrocomputing

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

The Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Wait a minute, why are they wearing equipment from 101 years later? Something to look out for when admiring manuscripts from the middle ages is that they often depict events from history with the arms and armour of the current day (Pretend I painted this in 1916 lol)

clarence thomas has no jurisprudential argument, he just hates women and thinks the constitution doesn’t protect a varia suit

I know we all best think of Valve as the Steam company but man did they really cook with games. Half-Life was how they kicked the door down and said "Hey check this out!"

Foundational part of the games industry. Most of the RPGs we play today were directly or indirectly touched by her work. #RIP #BurgerBecky
