Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on mastodon.social under the same username.
Pinned
For several years I believed that LucasArts and other developers had created a secret time-capsule hoard of unreleased video games.
But, as I've said more recently, I no longer believe this. I was wrong. And if I hurt anyone when I suggested that theory, I am profoundly sorry.

For Etty, it was clearly Sirens first, Ulysses second!

Played lots of cool games in 2025, but the coolest was a 1987 pirate romance text adventure by Amy Briggs, who was also Ron Gilbert’s babysitter.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Thank you so much to all who donated so far!! Billie was able to finally get her surgery to open her trachea, but there were some complications that need more treatments over the holidays, and my friend & her partner can’t maintain jobs while caring for her. Every cent helps! 🙏

This thread, wow.
In Zelda 2, a woman appears in each town, beckoning Link into her home. They disappear inside and Link's health begins to refill.
One reddit user recently asked if this scene was *intentionally* suggestive. While that seems very unlikely, I thought I'd look into it.

I think people today don't understand just how dramatically the night sky has changed - it looked like it does in super remote areas *everywhere* before the invention of electric lighting, and light pollution that obscures the sky has gotten dramatically worse in the last 25 years.
If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

I resumed watching The Twilight Zone last night 📺 🚪 🌀
One of the episodes I saw was "To Serve Man". I quickly guessed the plot because, although I had forgotten the title, I had read the short story a long time ago 😀
