[drops a piece of toast] This toast is now considered to be lost media 😔

To say I am consumed by the cast of Dispatch would be a true statement, and canon.

I really liked the music used in the Steam Hardware Announcement video, so I made an extended, looped version of the ending. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iQ7...

Going to start saying that they don’t make adventure games like they used to but only because they don’t make games to promote Peperami OR BiFi salami sausages anymore www.mobygames.com/game/9244/bi...

My Space Quest site, Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset, launched 30 years ago this month. That makes it one of the oldest video game fan sites on the web. To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

one of my favourite goofs—if there was one thing we did at campo it was Commit to the Bit

I started an Instagram for My Iphone Architecture Photography. Ive got 100s of thousands (way to many) Photos that I use for reference for my concept work. If thats interesting to you you can check it out here www.instagram.com/kellan_outsi... Im posting India Stuff atm, Likely Taiwan or Turkey next

Hopefully people will take me more seriously with this Super Mario World cartoon show Yoshi avatar.

Doing some long-overdue cleanup on the English language this morning… "Carcinogenic" is now "cancerogenic." "Floor" is now "foor," the opposite of "roof." Complementary colors rhyme (red/gred, orange/blorange)

Imagine I'll get zero responses to this, but if any (UK-based) pool players happen to come upon this - any suggestions for where I could find good One Pocket games and players (preferably in London)? Also any good 14-1 / Straight pool players out there?

I haven't watched Episode 1 in a hot minute but I'm pretty sure this is about how it went down between Watto and Qui-Gon

Apple Jonathan aesthetic.

If you want some joy in your life, here's ZUNTATA, the Taito in house band playing this track live - youtu.be/OFjv6_p7qRE ❤️❤️❤️

New movie (Blade) added to my ongoing list of films set in “present day” boxd.it/dMdta

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

new for game devs: w i d e s t o r e plus a big improvement if you like putting GIFs into your game description. steamcommunity.com/groups/steam...

This article was a supreme delight: grab a cup of tea, set aside 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy this story about The Hardest Working Font in Manhattan. aresluna.org/the-hardest-... (via @ferociousj.bsky.social)

It’s always a surprise to see an old debug screen years and years later. This is not a fancy one but is what we saw when booting Tales of Monkey Island every day for the ~year it was in development.

Something made for fun a while ago; a #Discworld point & click gameplay mock-up animation thingy 🙌

We've acquired the historic game magazine Computer Entertainer. As in, we got the rights. We own the magazine. And we're putting it into the Creative Commons for anyone to use for free. Learn more: gamehistory.org/computerente...

One time I asked Tom Lehrer about the rumor that he invented the Jell-O shot, and he refused to confirm or deny it, but in a way that made me think the rumor was probably 100% true

Fully 19 years ago I was sitting in a grad school comp lit class and the professor made a reference to “the late Tom Lehrer.” I was happy to correct him that Lehrer was still very much alive and even still teaching. I could never have guessed he would live to almost 100.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Please note that the miniature horse who plays a miniature keyboard to wake people from anesthesia also appears to have its own staff badge with a photo of itself (my favorite genre)

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

The peak of simulating baseball video games is an ump making a bad call and everyone, including the announcers, reacting to it. This low-chance event is key to making it feel less like a protagonist-syndrome experience. It's bullshit! But sometimes so are calls! You just gotta move on.

I did a *really* silly thing last week with the brilliant Orchestra Victoria, and premiered my newest work, Untitled Concerto for Orchestra and Honk, with myself as the soloist. Thanks to everyone who came along.

A 2070s neo-neo-neo-noir where a doomed couple find a briefcase full of money, but they can’t find anyone to exchange it for Virtual Insulin. Also one of them is a JavaScript framework.

Spare a though for those of us with desktop jobs

oh no I found my 3ds, the greatest jazz fusion generator of all time

We released the Skin Deep Map Kit on the Workshop today. This is a little resource with a load of simple examples for how to set up certain things in your maps and mods. It also contains, I think, my finest work. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Today we're releasing the MAP KIT, a collection of sample maps to help you get started modding for Skin Deep! blendogames.com/news/post/20...

This is probably way more effort than Sony was expecting, but HEY it was super fun getting to draw a bunch of tiny little vignettes from classic Myst/Riven 📕📘

a lot of bus stops in SF are literally just a pole you have to stand next to, but today some guerilla-installed benches suddenly appeared diy cozy architecture >>>>>

watched Clueless with my daughter yesterday, and The Matrix highway music popped into my head..

Someone just drove by in an old car barely holding it together and yelled “All this for a game????” We have never been so back in a world where it has never been so over.

just played through this free adventure game. It's good! store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/...

Doing some more archive.org digging, because what else is there to do on a Friday night, and just struck gold: a Wip3out press CD from 1999. High-res renders, concept sketches, lots of Designers Republic stuff, and some wild PlayStation hardware photography. Link: archive.org/details/Wip3...

Full Throttle released 30 year ago today! How do we know that for sure? That's... a really good question! Our support-wizard @kestrelpi.bsky.social recently dug through the internet to figure out: hey, when exactly did this game release? Read about his adventure: www.doublefine.com/news/when-wa...

puffins! puffins!!

Finally shipped this, I've had a lot of fun making a Mac OS 9-styled design for this and keeping it "retro web" while using modern techniques. I have a blog post about the whole thing as well as what I plan to do with the site in the future, read it maybe? damien.zone/introducing-...
