... The nature of Monkey is irrepressible!

Travelling the Wasteland in search of good old school games.

If I've posted something dumb-sounding, it's a joke.
The way the world is going is weighing so heavily on me at the moment. The country is careening out of control and there seems to be nobody at the wheel except selfish idiots with even worse people trying to grab control to make themselves rich at everyone else's expense. I need a break from bsky.

Wife: let's go to a cold farm and walk around a muddy field picking up pumpkins they left on the ground the night before!! Won't that be fun???

*sigh*

There's a game I recently played where the difficulty curve was insane.. the developer had little interjections about how he designed it to be irritating, and how the only way to win was just suck it up and waste your time. He's got a new game and I simply don't trust him not to waste my time again

Good morning! Suspicious horse is watching you.

Darkenstein 3-D is pretty darn good.... For a free game, it's superb. So much Wolf3d fun with 66% more 3D!

Trivia time:

What links one of the best Amiga MODs of all time to the game "Control" ?

Answer: Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen, keyboardist, producer, composer and all-round DUDE whose MODs rocked the scene in the early 90s and still rocking the world in Poets of the Fall!

Well, it a new moon, and there've been lots of photos of 5 1/4" floppy disks on the retro feeds this morning, so, honestly, i think it's excessive self-love... but you might be a premature transmuter...

Been listening to some MODs thanks to @jikissgamer.bsky.social posting an old favourite... Dug out an old CD and found a song by some of @judgedrokk.bsky.social 's former group members :)

I fancied porting a bit of old x86 ASM to z80 to get a rudimentary 'starfield' going.

Went looking for a nice easy IDE and found one called KliveIDE by the same guy that made SpectNetIDE. Nice and easy to work with! It's still in early alpha, but it's good .

Pay VERY close attention to the sender's address when you get what appears to be a legitimate password management request. In this instance the sender is not "Microsoft", but R N icrosoft, the R & N close together look like a lowercase 'm' at first glance.

Ho Ho.. Sh*t's getting real in Alice: Madness Returns.... I love this guy!
October 19, 2025 at 10:46 AM
OK, well, now I know I can run the EA App under Steam, it's time to play some Alice: Madness Returns.

I'm told this is better than the original, which I really enjoyed!

There's something about this table top strategy game that's really drawing me in.. for some reason I really want to play it.... I think it's possibly because the box looks like a PC game. But the contents look great too...

The weird thing is I'm not a ttrpg player really, only D&D.

Hilariously, the devs of Lutris have locked the threads that would let anyone tell them that there's a problem unless they're a "contributor"... So, trying to run the EA App is still broken... I have found a hacky workaround though, so I'll document in this thread in case anyone cares:

srsly? That was where your mind went when you needed to make a mnemonic? My friend, I think you need to talk to someone...

Now, we can debate the validity of comparing importance and effectiveness directly in percentages... And we can debate that their BBC avoided the elephant in the room that it is massively biased.

But it's clear that people in the UK are dissatisfied with how independent and neutral the BBC is.

Don't even need to click it... I know exactly why they'd prefer to play games with animals than half of the humans you see online.. ;)
