I made a game and now the game is... a nail???
(FYI you can get Mindset GO! for iOS / Android here mindset.game/app, in print in The Observer every Sunday and also apparently at your local nail salon)
Perfectly correct take and John's weary phrasing here - Why Can't We Just Be Normal About Things - has been my commentary heartbeat for like 25 years now.
INCROYABLE

Just a headsup that #Maraoke ( @singmaraoke.bsky.social ) will NOT be at New Game Plus tomorrow.
If you've bought a ticket expecting there to be a Maraoke gig, please complain loudly to the NG+ organisers or this tiresome bullshit will keep happening
Real Madrid being as gracious in defeat as ever is it?
The next #Maraoke event at the Stoke Newington Loading Bar is going to be on May 15th. Mark your calendars (and, ideally grab your FREE tickets) now: maraoke.com/booknow
BBC Micro for me (obviously) but it was so weird when I got it running - just 40 year old muscle memory kicking in, down to the rebounding off the sides of platforms. Amazing.
A screenshot from today's Daily Run, showing Harry the farmer at the bottom of a series of green platforms, pink ladders and blue hens. A golden goose in a cage lurks ominously in the top left of the screen.
Transferring projects to a new Mac and took the opportunity to fix bugs + clean up Chuckie Egg: One Life Left, my very unofficial Chuckie Egg daily run remix. Has (some) mobile support now and better global leaderboards. Also you will not beat my score today.

This is tonight. 70 tickets sold but there’s still room for YOU. Also by sold I mean “sold” because the price IS FREE. Come on, I guarantee it’s better than being scolded on Bsky for whatever you were about to post
Defeat Geography.
Yes but you could be there to reply to my DM FROM WEEKS AGO
Come to Maraoke tomorrow. Loading, Stoke Newington, 8PM start, 100% FREE. I will begin with a new song and the lols will continue from there. maraoke.com/booknow
Trying not to get my hopes up but everything about this is promising
The Maraoke poster, purple and black. It says YOUR FAVOURITE SONGS REWRITTEN ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE GAMES SING LOUD JOIN THE CROWD FREE ENTRY APRIL 10TH. Come along. You won't regret it. It doesn't say that. I am saying that.
Friends: it's Maraoke in London this Friday @loading.bar.
Maraoke is a night of amazing songs that you already know, rewritten about games. It's 50% comedy show, 50% collective euphoria. You do not have to sing. There will be no forced fun. IT IS GREAT. And it is FREE.
Do it: maraoke.com/booknow
Donlan’s words here are a beat by beat capture of my thoughts except, as usual, much more considerate and beautiful. And kinder; he gives it more credit and two more stars than I would: www.eurogamer.net/the-super-ma...
I will not submit a talk but I will sing at you (THREAT / PROMISE). And yeah I'll get your song in the system ofc.
BRIBERY / THREAT: I'll write you a new horse song (and talk at the thing if you want).
submit a request for maraoke imo

Excellent work @riversidefm.bsky.social. First image when I use Firefox (because I'm trying to move on from Chrome). Cool, I'll try go for Safari, then. Oh.
Thought about calling it "Behold the Eggman"
I mean tbf he wasn't wrong
A screenshot of Chuckie Egg. Harry the farmer stands on the bottom platform perplexed, about to begin his quest for eggs. All that stands in his way: some blue chickens and a massive golden goose.
It's lunchtime so why not play a version of Chuckie Egg that critics are called "hacked together" and "why did you do this":
Daily randomly-generated levels! Scoreboard competition! One life only! Chuckie Egg!

Updated this morning to make mobile control better, fix some physics bugs etc. I can "complete" it on my phone now and maybe you can too.

Re: this. I decided I wanted to make something that wasn’t about streaks or nagging it regret, just slow personal achievement. I think it does that pretty well.
