Never been so devastated to find disks dead on arrival. 😭

Lucky Tower Ultimate is the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

Yobbas (Yoda X Jabba shippers) are literally the most delusional members of the Star Wars fandom, and I say this as someone who used to ship them HARD before I got preoccupied with my divorce proceedings

Over the last six months, I've written histories of the 26 games to have reached #1 in the UK charts during 1986: superchartisland.com/timeline/#1986 Here is a thread on what I learned, with links to each post!

Nurburgring 24h warm up lap is underway.

Allegedly, the X-Men cartoon theme was ripped off from Linda, a Hungarian show that ran from 1984 to 1991. The composer filed a lawsuit that was settled out of court. To me, the similarities sound a little too close to be a coincidence. Either way, this Linda intro absolutely rules.

To show the top score table at the end of a Nethack game now: You have to enable the option that displays the top score table. AND you have to undisable a second option that immediately quits the game when the top score table is displayed, before you have a chance to read it.

Greta - Expired Greater Health Potion Health potions are a bit like sourdough, take a small portion from a starter, mix it into a batch and you get fresh potions of the same quality. Leave your starter alone too long however and it might start taking on the form of its base ingredients...

Yikes, unfollowing now! I was only familiar with her for hopping through the forest, had no idea about bopping the field mice on the head

or even don't! so many people in this space talk a huge talk about indie games and then do nothing but play the newest god of war. you can just do that. no need to pretend you're something you're not. i don't want people to engage with my stuff out of some obligation

• Set in the '90s • Made by Australians • About the follies and dangers of youth • Highly venerated despite being a bit shit I have just the thing.

Does the video game "Mixtape" have any narrative reason why the mixtape in Mixtape is so inappropriate for the time?

this is tangential to anything much going on rn but when people muse over why austrailian game devs tend to set their games in america and wonder why, I often think about how Weird some american critics got about Necrobarista's setting

A handful of games released in the last week and half that I was looking forward to. They were all underwhelming. Cursed Words is a lot better, despite its many issues.

Still one of the less disastrous guests on the show, I suppose. #myart

Just took 93yr Mum to vote, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which box for boob hypnosis?" A cheer went up from waiting voters

We’ve been told our content needs to be more informative so here you go

got a new pull quote for Derelict Star courtesy of Jonathan Blow. thank you so much for playing my game!

nowhere near as bad as me getting a permanent and lifetime ban from editing wikipedia for trying to add a line to the Ian Botham page about the time he accidentally tweeted a dick pic (despite it being extensively covered by the mainstream media at the time and a verifiable fact)

i did not endure years of the unfunniest people parroting charlie the unicorn for people to now be saying this

"Cursed Words" would be an incredible game if it weren't for a few of the craziest decisions ever seen in a video game.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

People still make text adventure games like during the days of Infocom and they’re still very good! In fact, I think many of them are even better than the classics. You can download many free ones here ifdb.org

They've never figured out a weapon cooler than this

Oh wow, Nethack 5.0! nethack.org/v500/release...

Still peeved about the time I couldn't remember that Portishead is called Portishead and when I searched for "sex music band 1990s" the internet failed me

Today I logged into my trash account and was GENUINELY DELIGHTED to learn that they record and post video of every pickup so I was able to confirm my suspicions. I've watched this several times and it keeps making me laugh for some reason (possibly mental illness)

I put Dujanah on sale on Steam because I reckon you might get something from it. It's got some of my favourite bits in it: the overstimulated at the gallery bit, Duja's final soliloquy. Spoiler: it's not what I say it's about. store.steampowered.com/app/681240/D...

It is our honor-bound moral obligation to put whoever posts this kind of thing down like a dog. We cannot allow this and must stamp it out now

some personal news everyone

They were destroyed in case they ever came to life due to a spell. Good job, Nintendo. Crisis averted!

THIS IS NOT A THING ULTRAPROCESSED MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING There is no mechanism of action by which "processing" a food would, across the board, have this effect. Cutting up an apple is processing it. Cutting up and salting potato chips is processing them. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ULTRAPROCESSED

Dujanah was class. 9 years since it came out. You get distance from a project and it looks different. It's like it's made by a different person who makes the same choices and mistakes you would. Lots of clay willys.

I'm starting to think that there's a pretty good chance that SourceForge outlives GitHub

The wait is almost over, hackers! 👾 868-BACK is releasing May 28th! Play the free demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3304110/...

I think this has come up on the pod precisely once but I love to remind people that this studio renamed itself from simply "Ustwo" to "Ustwo Fampany Ltd.," fampany being a portmanteau of "company" and "family"

my ultimate, spiciest, flaming hot cheetohs take is that i would rather have a thousand shitty home-grown SUPER ZSNES™ types with gaudy options, than yet another case of Retroarch Stole My Cores And Made Everything Worse Again.
