Putting aside the fact that I have used white flour, they turned out exactly as I’d like them to be served at my favorite fantasy medieval inn: The Yew Tree Inn. Now, I need to learn to brew ale and make cheese. 😁

With the world going to shit, I take a break by watching The Blues Brothers. The simple pleasures in life.

I am not buying a Logitech mouse ever again. They used to be good... 10 years ago. Now, the LMB switch has failed twice in my two new mice within a year. And I am talking about expensive models.

Forbidden Solitaire features a fake 2019 OS and the protagonist, Will Roberta, has found a CD-ROM from 1995 in a thrift store and is about to play it. This initial dialog shows the backstory between Will and his sister Emily who will be researching the game's dark history...

Just finished Jason Kingsley’s Lord of Blackthorne, and it was a great read indeed. Finally a book that quenched my medieval low-fantasy thirst. Impatiently awaiting the next book in the series.

Visited today: Štanjel, Slovenia.

Had fun on Thomas Brush's podcast! Also there’s some exclusive footage of Forbidden Solitaire and a look at my dev environment (BlitzMax) at the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAvH...

What game got me into gaming? Betrayal at Krondor It taught me that games could be more then just jumping around and shooting things (mega man) or shooting demons (doom) They could tell stories. They could contain WORLDS

Just stopped by the road to visit the ruins of a roman archeological site. Successfully identified a number of rooms and their uses. I’m so proud of myself 🤓

One of my very best friends -- and the person who dragged me into the games industry in the first place -- will be one of our guests for our upcoming OVNIcon convention on December 6th! #games #Oklahoma #Convention #3DGraphics #TulsaTech #NewWorldComputing #KingsBounty

2024 was the 50th anniversary of D&D, this year is the 50th anniversary of Computer RPGs🥳 In summer of 1975, Rusty Rutherford began playing D&D and decided to adapt it to PLATO, a cutting-edge educational computer system used at the University of Illinois. Thus 'The Dungeon' (aka pedit5) was born.

I agree 100%! Even if you don’t usually enjoy horror, it is an amazing adventure.
