Two new teletext Knightmare adventures have been recovered from VHS tapes by @neilsmiles.bsky.social! It appears to be the first Eagle Quest in the series, and Swamp Quest. I have cleaned them up and made them available for intrepid adventurers to try... andrewnile.co.uk/tt/ @mrbiffo.bsky.social
This is an adventure game using the fasttext colour buttons on certain televisions. Once you begin your adventure, you will undertake a fantastic journey. Mistakes may force you to retrace your steps - only perseverance, wit and courage will take you to the end of the Knightmare trail...

It’s so cold at my workplace that the temperature-sensitive Harvey’s label is already blue, indicating it’s chilled and ready to serve ❄️

I swear the BBC's turning into a paywall site, like lots of the newspapers have done. Thankfully reader view works, but I don't want an account. Not now. Not ever.

I don't think AI (LLMs) will take over anything yet, judging by this response. Worst of all, I still don't know what was wrong with Felix's lighter! Judging by his shock when Bond lights it, it definitely wasn't a "personal touch"...
AI: Hey there, it's great to meet you. I'm Microsoft Copilot, your AI companion. (...) Me: What was wrong with James Bond's lighter in Licence to Kill? Why was the flame so big? AI: In the movie "Licence to Kill," James Bond uses a lighter that has been modified to produce a much larger flame than a typical lighter. This lighter is actually a gadget provided by Q, Bond's quartermaster (...) The oversized flame is meant to be a dramatic and visually striking feature, showcasing Q's ingenuity (...). Me: I thought Felix gave him the lighter? AI: You're absolutely right! The lighter was indeed a gift from Felix Leiter. The lighter, which is a rather special one, was presented to Bond by Felix and his new bride, Della, as a wedding gift. The lighter isn't just an ordinary one; it's a functional and sentimental keepsake. The dramatic flame we see in the film is part of its design, adding to its uniqueness and utility for Bond's daring missions. So while Q is often the mastermind behind Bond's gadgets, this particular lighter has a personal touch from his friend Felix.

Typical.

All true.
Real things people have told me: You're not alone, others have it worse, have you tried meetup? If you don't like it, move. Join a club. Get out more. Why don't you drink? You're LUCKY to live here. Cheer up.

The never-ending cycle of failure.
