208. Discworld II: Missing Presumed…!?
I think, on balance, I prefer the aesthetic of this over the first one, but it does feel less focused narratively speaking. More of a Discworld plot slurry. Still, it was the first one of the three games I got to play, so it has a special place in my heart.
207. Limbo of the Lost
Long before this PC game became infamous for using screenshots from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and other games, it was a two-room demo included on an Amiga CD32 coverdisc that let you pick up one (1) object and timed out seconds after entering the second room.
Many writers will say you absolutely HAVE to write an outline. And you do! Unless you don't. In which case, don't write an outline. You don't need it! Unless you do. In which case, write one first. Or don't! Or do.

206. Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad
Where Mr. Nutz appearance on consoles is a very linear platformer, it's Amiga counterpart features an overworld which feels a bit like Zelda II meets Super Mario World. A fun, colorful game that felt massive at the time.
Every AI commercial gaslights you into thinking you're an idiot. Before you had access to AI you were too stupid to find your girlfriend's makeup, or boil an egg, or pick a shirt. Every commercial starts from the premise of "Hey, so you know how you're the dumbest fucking fuck to ever do it?"
I won't lie, I was skeptical about the Doctor - the Eleventh Doctor, of all people - taking on a corporate CEO as a companion. I'm still on the fence! But Eleanor is an interesting character, and I'm keen to see where they take her.
Finished The Eleventh Doctor Adventures: The First Question today. Cracking set! @lisamcmullin.bsky.social and @0hmyst4rs.bsky.social wrote some absolute belters, Jasmine Bayes crushes it as Eleanor Fong, and Miles Taylor is a fantastic Eleventh Doctor. Wonderful stuff.
Yes please and thank you.
I've decided what I want for my birthday is $1,100 a month for two years.
I won't say where I'm having lunch today, for reasons of privacy, but I asked one of the wait staff where the restrooms were and was directed to the doors behind the two large elephants.
Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?
I actually wish 8bitdo controllers let you update the firmware wirelessly with an app like this @crkd.gg cobtroller just let me. That was really painless.
I suppose the answer "to update the firmware" is acceptable, given that I just used said app to update the firmware and now my Xbox actually sees this as a guitar controller and not a regular gamepad.
Our cats Roscoe and Jim, in our kitchen, looking very serious.
I enjoy the way that in this photo our cats look like a hip-hop duo quite a lot of people quite liked in 1996 who have made a comeback record, done an interview with a broadsheet newspaper and are attempting to prove they are still serious and relevant.

I honestly don't know why people aren't more pissed off about AI. They're taking everything and we get nothing.
I also want drums!
Why?!
It has.
A fucking.
APP.
Why does this guitar controller have an app.

So, uh… someone got me this. AND they bought me the Rock Band style frets, so it was someone who knows me (or picked up on context clues seeing the guitar and the frets next to each other on my wishlist).

Where does your friend live, and what are his security arrangements?
Thinking about the 62 million views, and then thinking about how marital rape was only made illegal in all 50 US states in the summer of 1993.
I can remember 1993. I can remember what was on the radio at the time. I had just been in my first movie. It was not so long ago.
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
When I put stuff like this on my Amazon wishlist, it's aspirational. It's like, "Hey, maybe one day I'll have $650 burning a hole in my pocket to buy this!"
It's not a purchase I need. It's barely even something I want. But seeing it on my wishlist makes me smile. Maybe one day.
If you like I can email you a photo of one or both of my cats.
We still haven’t found a home for these two adorable four-year-old kitty cats in Los Angeles
If anybody is open to receiving all of this love, please contact Nico ASAP.
Their owner has passed away and they need a new forever home.
