It's one month out from my fifth annual recial thingy - December 21, 2025 at 1 PM EDT - and the theme will hopefully be a pleasant surprise for fellow retro video game enthusiasts. Will be announcing it by December (when preparations are done). À suivre! 🙀

People blamed "Christy" bombing on its opening weekend for its complete and utter lack of publicity. I did also agree with the idea, as I hadn't heard of the movie until it already bombed. But the poor opening weekend gave it a ton of free publicity... and its second week dropped by over 90%...

This is the correct way to rank Space Quest games. After these it boils down to personal preferences but for the top 2, this is just objective fact, backed by peer reviewed science.
I'm live right now with Space Quest III on Twitch! I'm pretty sure this is the best Space Quest game, except for the times when it's Space Quest V instead. twitch.tv/decafjedi

With The Lost Vale, we are working with Sheri to ensure that our implementation of it in U8 Exult is as authentic as we can make it.
This means we will avoid adding things and making new creative decisions any time we don't have to. With all its flaws, you'll play Lost Vale as it was, mostly.

Honestly, as time passes I am hoping but pretty uncertain if I'll have the time and energy to start up the YouTube channel I had wanted to. Social media and content creation used to be fun and used to be what recharged me but now it's the second fire at the bottom of my candle.

At this point every movie should just be summarized as "a film in which actors perform a story in front of a camera based on the vision of the director, the resources of the producer, and the skills and talents of a large and varied production team."
Literally how could you not have already had a capsule summary of **THE GODFATHER**.
Like, they must have had one, right? This isn't the first time it's been on streaing. They're not just using slop, they're replacing actual useful copy they already had with slop

I guess they’re using AI for the plot summaries now?

YouTube videos are getting pretty close to recipe websites for boring fluff filler before getting to the part we actually want.

Since everything is getting remade and remastered these days, why not remasters of old operating systems? Win98, WinXP, Win7... bring them back as they were but with updated security and drivers and a few necessary modern capabilities.

Tonight at 8:00 EST, I'll be joining @rat707.bsky.social on her channel for a stream takeover. I've chosen a game for her to play and we're making good on a promise to consume a concoction of chat-chosen fruits and veggies. Maybe see you there! twitch.tv/rat707

Despite actually kinda enjoying Bravely Default I do have to take breaks from it due to burning out on how much it's designed to spend hours and hours on grinding, even with QOL options to speed it up (ie: increased encounter and decreased difficulty settings). The combat is fun at least, but still

I'll be honest, I don't like her as a person but I'm actually kinda interested to see this movie, now that I actually know about it. I'd even be willing to hope in good faith that she does a good job...

Trying to put Win98 onto a WinME system. So far not bad except things don't just work, so I have to chase down 25 year old drivers off the internet to get things going.
Well, I didn't undertake this expecting it to be easy.

Also heads up: I hope to do a few streams of the original 1992 PC game for DOSember this year! Meant to do it last year, actually, but didn't get to stream as much as I wanted to and never got to it.
Nothing to see here. Just a sneak peek at my reboot of Planet's Edge, the first game I had a major role in developing way back at the start of my dev career @ New World Computing. #RPG #IndieDev #TeamOfMe #SciFi #Blender #UnrealEngine #SomethingAboutThatChest #CrossingTheStreams

On a whim, stopped in at the thrift store on the way home from work and found a Compaq Presario 5000 tower for $10. Who knows if it works but I figure I can't even really find the floppy drive individually for $10 so I can't really come short at any rate.

Ok so mustard on pizza is fine, but conflicts with the flavour of my toppings. Maybe better on more complementary toppings. Definitely good for the crust, but not going to be a main topping for me, yet.
Comparison to pretzels makes perfect sense and is a great way to sell it!
I actually have a pizza on the way so we'll see what my verdict is soon! XD

1) pineapple pizza is S-tier
2) I don't expect I'll like mustard in pizza but I'd definitely pour a dab on one bite to see what it's like. Can't say something sucks unless you try it! Sometimes some pretty wild combinations work so well together despite conventional wisdom. Lol

I just watched someone put mustard on a pizza and now I have to rewrite The Will of Arthur Flabbington because I have found a bigger enemy than pineapple
