Happy anniversary, Return to Monkey Island (2022) 🥳 I was on holiday when it was released so I played it on the Steamdeck in a hot tub which was different.

I loved it. The ending was beautifully melancholic, relatable, and will stay with me for a long time.

Hello gaming, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound... of Unavowed.

Happy anniversary to Populous (5 June, 1989). One of my favourite DOS games - great memories ❤️

Just picked this up for £6 from our local charity shop 👀

Unused and still sealed.

This is great. Particularly for Ron's tiptoeing around questions about the Secret.
From the Archives (27 Jul, 2023): Those Ron and Dom IRC Logs — “Ron Gilbert and Dominic Armato joined #monkey-island way back when. We have the logs to prove it.”

Can anyone recommend a good retrogaming/adventure games/old games feed that isn't 90% Sonic or Nintendo posts?

Something that pulls in LucasArts, Sierra, that sort of thing.

TIA!

I'm on Tumblr now, by the way (piecesofkatecreates). Haven't got the hecky peck how to use it but feel free to follow me.

I should warn you that I'm using it pretty much exclusively for X-Files / fanfiction. Once I figure out what I'm doing.

Last night, the brilliant Dinara (aka aliensupersoldier) did a live reading of my 90s X-Files crack fanfiction stories.

Really fun hearing them brought to life ❤️

Happy New Year ❤️

To those who had a crap 2024, I hope 2025 is better for you.

It's been great seeing so many people join here, and I've had fun indulging my love of The X-Files with other fans. And it got me writing again 😁 So thank you! 🥛(Pretend we're in a small town motel and that's eggnog)

Up to the Redux 2-parter in our X-Files rewatch and I know this isn't the main point but GOOD LORD these two are hitting their peak attractiveness

The X-Files trivia I'm reading alongside our rewatch says 'If you have freeze frame on your VCR...' ❤️

✏️ Published the next instalment in my comedy/crack/spoof X-Files fanfic series, 'Too Much...'

Mulder and Scully edge closer in the dream world, this time thwarted by Scully's anxiety dream and Mulder's encounter with monologue-crazed Skinner 😏

Been thinking about Thimbleweed Park again and how each character has a different vomit animation.

Agent Ray - the Swirly Hurl
Delores - the Straight Vacate
Ransome the Clown - the Half Barf

Now that's inclusive.

📣 Is there an equivalent to Notifications on BlueSky yet? (Something to ping me when an account makes a new post)

I don't think there is, but asking just in case!

Imagine if you could stick an 'X' on your window like Mulder every time you fancied a coffee or a iced bun
