Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (1999). Criminally underrated game.

Two of my interests collide... and I miss my Amiga.

If you've never read it, check it out, as you're in for a treat. Wonderfully told, sumptuously drawn and deeply moving.

You shouldn't be allowed to be a conspiracy theorist if you've never done an office move

Very proud to be working with Alex & his team, and eager to show folk what they've been brewing up.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

As the son of a librarian, it's very, very hard for me to put a book in the trash. It's just wrong on a fundamental level. Stuff goes for donation no matter what. However, when I found a Scott Adams book (a gift from my dad 30 years ago) while packing up to move, I made an exception.

100% truth, worth a read.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

Steam NextFest ends on Monday morning. I tried a bunch of demos, my faves were Sorry We're Closed (took me right back to playing Fear Effect on PS1), Keep Driving and Streets of Rogue 2. Citizen Sleeper 2 was as good as expected, and I can see myself playing StarVaders a lot between other games.
