I wanted to share some lovely feedback I've had from my colleagues at work. I feel proud to work with them and to be recognised as a positive force in my workplace.

Just a bit more outline and I'm done.

I've been fiddling with copilot to edit pictures as I mentioned. Now, I support artists and these are pictures I wouldn't pay for because they are not good enough. But it is tempting me to commission one. Here are some of the pictures for context.

Raise your hands if you're British, love 8bit micros and aren't a frothing, racist arsehole.

Genuinely sad. She was an icon and always responsive with chat on the socials.

You Tuber JustJamie had a weird UK is not European rant on his latest video and was called out on it. I liked his content. But I'm not with him now. He deleted the comments. Coward.

It’s always a pleasure 😀

I know it's bad but I used copilot to anime my car picture and it's really cute. It's not accurate, missing some details but cute to imagine what it would be like.

I love how back in the day we used to call every FPS game a Doom clone! As if only Doom is allowed to be first person. 😂😂😂

Clones have been a part of video games since someone wanted to rip off pong by calling it poo. Well I made that up, but I did not make these up. See some games that heavily riffed on existing properties here. Right here. youtu.be/_RiLc6cGDjw

Prime 4 has an annoying chatty companion because that's clearly what the series has always been screaming for.

I guess we call them extraction shooters because they’ve extracted hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs out of the game industry.

Still absolutely love this still I took of Keisuke Honda from FIFA 18.

Don't suppose anyone has a copy of Sonic The Comic (Fleetway) #46 they're looking to part ways with?

It's a fair point. But the body could have been smoother over.

I did a survey today and one of the questions was do I consider myself disabled. Hmmm. The choices were yes and no but the reality is, sometimes! Like, I wish I could use a disabled parking space when I need to. Which is only occasionally, but I can't. We don't have a system for this.

Keeping it real with these bad boys. StarFox/Starwing is by far my favourite, but they all bring something to the table.

The problem with modern car design is that there are too many sharp edges. It feels messy. The 2023 Supra is fairly nice, but it looks like a kid took the MKIV and run it through an AI tool.

It's no secret I absolutely love the Super FX chip and I have all the games complete! Happy with this lot! Eight officially released games and StarFox 2. I've played them all a lot and almost beaten all but Vortex and Dirt Racer elude me. I know performance is low but I love the scope of them.

Modern PC game, sci fi style puzzle ISH. No shooting ideally. More mental gameplay than physical. Any suggestions? He likes Myst a lot.

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

Had to go to hospital today. It looks like further complications have arisen from my Crohn's disease. I mean we can't have a full year without something can we.

OG Halo is a masterpiece and tbh, they never got close to it. Incredible game.

Weekend shenanigans ahoy! 🙋‍♂️

Opassa Beach (Chrono Cross, Squaresoft, 1999)

I bought a copy of that Final Fantasy Tactics remaster everyone has been talking about

Love this game!

Hi everyone, We wanted to give you all an update on where things stand with the release of Terminator 2D: NO FATE: www.reef-entertainment.com/post/termina...

Thanks to @dark1x.bsky.social , I've started a play through of Eternal Ring. The reasonable length means I can manage it at the moment. It's quite charming, if clinical.

Something random, had my Retrotink 5x sat directly on top of my PS2 and it caused very mild interference when the PS2 was outputting interlaced display. Moved it and it's all cured.

Sunday night with @dark1x.bsky.social and co.

Whilst my phone doesn't do it justice, I had to snap the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen.

Some really good You Tube content out there. I'm currently enjoying @seanseanson.bsky.social @yesterzine.bsky.social @bloggospow.bsky.social @st1ka.bsky.social @dark1x.bsky.social @gamesack.net Also enjoying rolfwaffle (GT content) Whitepointer (tech stuff) Sharopolis
