#ASonnetAfterDinner Number 3.

Ooh! Look what I just got. I didn't know this even existed until a week or two ago.

"This captain's log is about to become supplemental. Ooh!" 🤣

#ASonnetAfterDinner Number 2

These films are to Easter what Die Hard is to Christmas. Essential viewing this weekend.

New Speccy goodies. 😎

Patrick Stewart did this during Covid, so I thought I'd do the same and read a Shakespeare sonnet a day. I won't be filming myself though. Some forms of torture should never be experienced. 😉 Here is the first.

Got a couple of nice Mastertronic releases this morning, including a rare-ish @davidxjonesauthor.bsky.social utility, which contains his very first game 'Bonkers' on side 2.

If you see this, drop a hero with a sword.

Wow! This is an incredible lineup. I will not be missing it.

I have a spare Steam key for Chess Ultra if anyone wants it.

Who is your favourite Muppet?

Ever wondered why there are no games set in ancient Ireland ? My game dev partner Barry made a video about it! youtu.be/-W0NtKqnXTc?... #indiedev #gamedev #handdrawn #indiegame #irishgamedev #irish

Saturday morning YouTube playlist thingy... Jonathan Eng feat. Linnea Olsson - Laser Eyes Portishead - Sour Times Bat For Lashes - Glass Paul Giovanni - Willow's Song Kate Bush - Jig of Life New Order - Elegia Ultravox - Vienna Jonathan Eng feat. Linnea Olsson - Radio Waves

I just completed Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. That was really interesting, although I'm honestly not sure what it was all about. The ending was very ambiguous and may need another playthrough and further examination of the in-game documents and files. I really enjoyed it though.

Happy Birthday to Julian Glover, who played some of my favourite film and TV villains.

I just backed Automania Remastered for ZX Spectrum Next on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mvs...

RIP Miss Teschmacher.

I've been playing Lorelei and the Laser Eyes over the weekend, and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a very spooky puzzle adventure set in a hotel somewhere in Europe, probably either Germany or Italy, and is very similar to Blue Prince and The Seance Of Blake Manor. It's well worth checking out.

Happy 30th anniversary to the original Resident Evil. It was released in Japan (as Biohazard) on this day in 1996, and went on to spawn many sequels, some of which are my favourite games of all time. I bet you all feel old now, eh? 😜

RIP Nicholas Brendon.

I missed this at the time but Black Celebration by Depeche Mode turned 40 years old on the 17th of March. I feel positively ancient now. Happy Birthday Black Celebration.

Name your fav book-to-TV series (More in alt text below.)

Holy Shit! Death has come for Chuck Norris. This has got to be a bad omen for the immediate future.

What if we told you David Hasselloff was a tool of the Western Cold War alliance, while Marillion were unwitting stooges of the Stasi? We explore Berlin's most epic locations to find out the full bizarre story of how music brought down the Berlin Wall: youtu.be/4DZqPmYDCrk?...

I ordered this just before Christmas but the order went unnoticed in the festive insanity. They finally posted it out to me last week after I asked after it, which was nice. 😀

Post the: Last movie you saw Last game you played Last show you watched Last song you listened to

Oh Goodie Gumdrops! The new computer I bought less than a year ago mysteriously refused to even switch on this morning, yet it was working fine last night. Thankfully it's still under warranty, but I will have to send it back to Germany for repairs. At least I can still use my old PC for now.

Someone clearly didn't listen...

If you think of yourself as a Star Trek fan, please stop with the AI slop videos and images. Even though Data drew from all of human knowledge, he still took out a brush, paints and canvas and created his own shit. He played the oboe. He wrote poetry. He was trying to become more by creating art.

Does anyone have any idea what today's Strands was all about? I solved it, but it just seems like a bunch of random words to me, with no connection whatsoever. www.nytimes.com/games/strands

The Ides of March are upon us. Julius Caesar didn't survive them, and it would be immensely satisfying if Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Vladimir Putin were to suffer the same fate.

Awww Fuck! This is really disappointing.😞

This week, @drbecky.bsky.social discusses the science behind Project Hail Mary. This is actually the first I've heard of the film but it sounds really interesting. I'm strongly thinking of seeing it in the cinema.

We got two more episodes of classic Doctor Who back!!! The Dalek Masterplan, Episodes 1 and 3! Missing for decades! www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Heart of Neon Blu Ray arrived this morning, along with a couple of lovely Speccy goodies, including two of the very last releases from Hewson Consultants, which I've been after for a long time.

The truth is out. 🤪

Name your fave film from the year you were born.

We’re delighted to reveal the Irish Games art-piece we commissioned from acclaimed Irish artist and game developer @denmanrooke.com, showcasing some of the incredible games and characters from across Irish games, alongside touchpoints of Irish culture. www.imirt.ie/news/2026/3/...

You’re trapped in the last tv show you watched, where are you? I think it would be fun to run into Anne Hegerty in a pub, where we would both spend the evening getting very drunk and trying to outdo each other with trivia questions. She would win of course. (From the strange mind of NomenLuni 🤪)

Completed RE: Requiem. That was really good overall, I must say. I will try it on a higher difficulty soonish.

Worf! Qapla!

The US government and military needs to be completely destroyed. It's the only way this world will survive. That amount of power cannot be left in the hands of what are essentially toddlers throwing a tantrum.

Microslop. I like that. It sums up @microsoft.com and their pushing of the AI infestation perfectly succinctly. 😀

I just played through a sequence in RE9 which was the most fun moment I've ever seen in a Resi game. I'm not going to spoil it on anyone but it was absolutely fantastic. 😁

It's been a nerve-wracking couple of weeks but I finally managed to get the Enterprise back to the state it was in before it fell apart. Counselor Troi dropped by to offer some much needed moral support and see if she can get a chocolate sundae or three.
