"The Dagger of Amon Ra"... I played that for the first time about 30 years ago. It was interesting to cross daggers with someone who has only recently played it for the first time 😉
Want a clip of a future episode? If you said no, I'm going to disappoint you! Myself, @adventgamepod.bsky.social and @little-writer.bsky.social talk about The Dagger of Amon-Ra and I raise the question of whether it's the FFVIII of Sierra Games...

What this means, is that poor Villainy has to suffer me quoting Murray for hours.
I may or may not be gushing about this, my favourite game of all time, with @askusaboutloom.bsky.social in January... 👀
Very excited! 🙈

Finished (got 2 out of 4 endings) of @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social's "D3AD HAND" and it's DLC "R3D STAR".
I've not known a DLC be about six times larger than the original game, but with D3ad Hand you play as Yuri, a solider in the Russian army who is stationed in a bunker to monitor nuclear weapons.

I've been musing about creating a Discord for Ask Us About Loom, because the Internet needs another discord server. But inspired by the Save Your Game/Mutant Menace joint server I've just extended the @pickadisc.bsky.social one to have channels for the podcast!
