Yeah, also a big PC gamer with a huge Steam library and I've been looking at Linux as a viable alternative for my gaming laptop.
Only things holding me back is an intense lack of confidence and the need to replace my laptop keyboard & battery before I try anything else!
It just feels like 1984 Newspeak.
Why? What do you think that you did?
I feel like a rewatch and a brainstorm is in order! 😆
There was just so much more to explore and uncover as well! More artifacts! More organisations & cults! More secrets!
There were so many more stories to tell, even if we followed different characters to do it.
You have two squirrels in your brain. One lies, the other tells the truth... 🐿️
I feel like the world needs more Pulp team-ups punching bad people in the face!
The Lost Room was SOOOO GOOD!
Northstar (1985) - failed TV pilot about an astronaut who gets enhanced abilities when exposed to the sun, but too much exposure and his brain explodes!
If it had been done in the 90s/00s, it could've been another Jake 2.0, Intelligence or Chuck.
The world of Ultraviolet desperately needed expanding beyond the limited series we originally got!
My partner found Elvanse to be life changing... I'm happy it's working for you!
Yeah, the schwarma scene was filmed days after the Hollywood premiere and added in later... Originally, it was just the Nick Fury mid-credits scene.
It does pose the question, what would Columbo's TARDIS be like?
If I buy second-hand books on Vinted and they happen to have been printed by Unbound, what's the best way to give the author back the cover price that they missed out on the first time around? Brown envelope at a future signing?? 🤔
1970s Daredevil with the aesthetic of Dirty Harry and a general lack of actor safety would've been great!
Amber, and its diceless mechanic?
I was going to suggest Alice Is Missing, but then I wasn't sure whether it was classed as a TTRPG or a story game or even what the difference is... Still one of the most emotional experiences I've had while gaming though.
I'm hoping for a holographic armour Dr. Doom at my screening of Doomsday!
And X-Men with more pouches!
The 'No Prize' used to be an intrinsic part of what Marvel was... "Spotted a mistake in our comic, but also come up with a clever & witty way to describe how it wasn't a mistake after all?... Have a No-Prize!"
I feel like Marvel have conflated how much of a draw RDJ is, compared with how popular Tony Stark *was*...
...Which is a shame considering the good stuff Marvel are doing on TV at the moment, and how much good will the new (smaller scale) Spidey trailer has brought in.
"McQueen"?
Okay, replace "murder" with "finding a lost swimming costume before the synchronised swimming display".
I can see Hi-De-Hi working as a 'Carved from Brindlewood' game... 1950s Yellowcoats trying to solve a murder in the holiday camp, while still making sure that the knobbly knees contest goes off without a hitch!

Saw someone post this on a retro group and the nostalgia whiplash it gave me threw me into a bookcase.
If I watch it, I'll watch the whole thing at home, thanks.

I'm chairing a panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry this year at UKGE. One of the panelists, an academic working in AI ethics, has put together a short survey about it. If folks could fill it out that would be incredible. Thank you!
