Aha, I've never seen a Master System presented like an ancient relic like this, as prizes for beating Le Chevalier Du Labyrinthe, the French version of Knightmare.
Hallelujah!

Back to writing the rest of TÖLT and I gotta say... I've never worked on something that was such a consistent delight to design.
I accidentally made something where any idea is a good idea. No matter how dumb/out of place/creepy/fun, it all just seems to work in the presence of low-poly horses??

The same functionality, a scrolling character screen layer. But one using through hole, the other using surface mount.

This is the latest build of my DOS game jam game. It’s currently 208kb, single executable, and that’s with a bunch of standard C libraries still linked in. Plays well, too IMHO :D

The successor to GZDoom is out now, after GZDoom's lead developer decided to start 'vibe coding' with AI.
For those worried, this should perform EXACTLY the same as GZDoom. Probably better, and with improving compatibility as there's more people actively working on it and listening to the community

Whiskerwood, I hope I have time for at some point, because it looks extremely up my alley, but I am swamped and it's out today! It's a Citybuilder akin to Banished or Timberborn but with mice from the devs of Railgrade.
There's a demo, so maybe check it out

I was born in England. I have lived most of my life in Ireland. Neither Irish or English racists would consider me "pure" enough despite me being white as snow (not counting other things they get mad about). Most of my ancestors were Irish or Scottish. Racism is stupid.

Fascinating. I don't usually drive short distances, most of my journeys are 100km+. Thursday I drove 250km, yesterday 130km and later today I'll be driving 224km. I still haven't seen an affordable electric car that can achieve that.
Most Irish car buyers want their EVs to have way more range than what the average person actually drives in a day, writes Paddy Comyn.

Opinion: Irish drivers may need to start thinking differently about electric vehicles

Doing a little self-shoutout helped I think!
Wish I could've gotten more views on my latest video, 'cos I worked hard and I'm extremely happy with it, I think the script was the best I've written so far, but it's just not getting seen as much compared to my previous video, which is a little disappointing.

Now that the @morkborg.com Heresy Supreme embargo is lifted, I have to show off something unique to the video game, but is still the most MÖRK BORG solution to a MÖRK BORG problem ever:
My Gutterborn Scum, out of arrows & stones, beat the Troll boss by desperately flinging pocket change at it.

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.
