Solus Ascending, a 2D point and click adventure game set in the only building left standing in the world due to the Earth's sea levels rising, that's ran by an oppressive government.

It blows my mind that these three games exist and they have physical PS5 versions AND they all have booklets included.
Broken Sword Reforged
Return to Monkey Island

Come across this when I was messing about (before AI slop was even a thing) for album covers but wouldn't fit my music so it was never used for anything.

Real conversation I once had:
Me: Did you do the 2 minutes silence?
Man: No, I didn't hear it.

I had another look at how the game appears with a high resolution background (left image) and hmm I think I do definitely prefer it pixelated (right). It does need a touch up (for instance, the calendar) but leaving that until last.

Oh my. I have no backlog. I mean it, zero games lined up. I might actually.. replay something.
quote with 5 games in your backlog! 🎮
▫️ Avowed
▫️ Divinity: Original Sin 2
▫️ Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
▫️ Horizon Forbidden West
▫️ Like a Dragon: Ishin
At best I'll have time to tackle one of these this year still. The rest will have to feel at home with the other 50 games in my backlog folder.

What really doesn't help on PSN for example is that there no way to see what other games were made by any particular developer. I think Steam does this, but do Nintendo and Xbox storefronts have this feature?
How can we easily demonstrate all games by 1 indie dev?

Just firing up this Police Stories game, and it made me think about how if I like a music album I'll look up what else they did but with an indie game l, like here, I have no idea who made it and if they made anything else. I imagine it's the same for anyone who plays one of my games.

I like to modernise older CD cases by changing the black portion of the case to a clear one and inserting a colour matching back, as seen here!

I would like to see the show Supernatural, but with so many seasons that's a massive level of commitment

I always thought it made more sense for this advert to be just on TV commercials and not be ran on a DVD that you genuinely bought only to be shouted at not to pirate films.

I've watched this clown spin around about 20 times, there's something more charming too about it being pixelated than if it was high res!

I've never understood these polls showing what percentage of people would vote for in the UK, as personally I've never been asked in my whole life what I think nor had anyone ever tell me they were asked. If my never being asked makes no difference, then neither does my voting.

Only for me to try this Poppy game on Playstation Plus and there is a puzzle requiring you to be able to tell what these colours are. To me, the red and pink colours, especially in this poor lighting, look quite close in colour to each other, so wouldn't a colour blind person struggle?

I am reminded of this example I just quickly made. I've experienced this ui many times. Two options with the text highlighted and not even boxed, and if you press right or left constantly it loops over to the other side. So is white the choice selected or green?
