I declare myself done with Gran Turismo 2. It's a fun physics engine to mess around with, but I really wish it was better at putting the player in races with like-powered vehicles. I'm hoping GT3 will be better about that, though I might also check out the GT2 A-Spec mod in more detail. #RetroGaming

BACK IN MY DAY, we used to change where we sat per game so we'd line up with the render window!
AND WE *LIKED* IT!
Marathon (1994) is a neat game. Hot take: Play with autorun turned off. Soak it in. Read the terminals. Take notes.

Really, discord? I've been here for...
*checks*
three days shy of a decade. I predate AI. Why are you asking this now?
Also, wow, a decade. I even joined kinda late, relative to some of my friends from the IRC days. Didn't realize Discord was that old

I know, it's been said a thousand times and I'm just another greybeard yelling into the void about a retro game, but the complete loss of artistry and atmosphere in CE Anniversary's graphics is astonishing every single time I see them.

I know, I've already celebrated this milestone with the first channel, but it feels no less sweet the second time around. I could not be more excited to do more of this.
Speaking of which, new episode is dropping *really* soon. Like, I'm uploading it right now.

That feel when past me was able to string an entire sentence together and there's a full 50-second segment that I don't have to do any fiddly edits to. #VideoEditing

When I made the Tangents channel, I imagined it would be pretty low-key. Obviously, that's not what's happened, and I'm certainly not complaining, but that old monochrome icon I used for it isn't up to snuff for what it's rapidly become.
So uh... minor branding update to be better!

Just marveling at the moon for a moment :)
I am surprised by how much I'm able to get out of what is honestly a pretty janky camera setup every time I pull it out

I just learned that the #Oblivion #remaster only has English dialogue, while the original offered French and German, and I'm kinda pissed about it!
It has subtitles (for more languages, even), and I feel like modding language packs in will be possible eventually, but still! I'm angy for people!

10 hours of mouse movement while working on spreadsheets over the last few days.

I randomly became curious about the original #Elite from 1984 and upon discovering that it's free on Frontier's website wrapped in a BBC system emulator, decided to see if that was a community-accepted way to play it. I should have known I'd end up with five new things installed. #RetroGaming

I know mine is still a very small channel, but I never expected the success I've seen when I uploaded that first Morrowind video a few weeks ago. Thank you to everyone that's come along for the ride. And now, onward and upward! I'm not slowing down!
