Good book, this, you know.

It's a Skyblazer/Karuraou kinda evening. I've not played this for yonks but it is very pretty. Wish I could afford a nice SFC boxed version.

And those watercolours in the manual. 👀

Happy birthday, mate! Hope you had a good one. 🎉

Absolutely. Something amazing about being able to jump in a Zelda game.

I’ve actually got Diamond Age so will look to get into that through the summer. Interested in what you think of Cryptonomicon though.

Been meaning to read a bit more of his stuff. I reread Snow Crash a few years ago and it still blew me away.

It will always be Roc’s Feather. 🪶

Just on the Data East thing. Glory of Heracles III, just look at that artwork. 🥲

‘Crisply toasted - macho appeal raises by 10’.

The most immaculate vibes. ✨

Power Athlete on SFC.

Yes! Big same here. I know Power Athlete isn’t the last word in fighting games but I really do like it.

Beautiful bit of Dream House turned up today, straight from 1996! Ticks all the right boxes:

✅ exotic name
✅ cover art straight out of a point and click PC game
✅ DJ Dado remix
✅ Dolphin mix
✅ reminder to respect nature

Perfection.

Way too much...

To be honest, on any recruitment I’ve done, if I can tell they’ve used AI, I sift it out straight away. If you can’t be bothered to write it, I definitely can’t be bothered to read it.

The daughter just asked me for some help with an application form after her actual line manager told her to ‘just stick it through ChatGTP’. And they wonder why the standard of writing is so poor now.

Me too actually! I really need to play it more.

I play quite a few Tetris variants, but I always end up back at Super Tetris 2 on SFC. There’s nothing particularly special about it, but it’s definitely one of those comfort food games for me.

A Thousand Words For Stranger by Julie E Czerneda.

Next up, a big dose of late 90s science fiction. 👀

Remember Game Zone magazine? It doesn’t get mentioned much these days, but its short lived run in the early 90s highlighted an industry in transition. Link below…👇

The Rings of the Master by Jack L Chalker.

That’s The Rings of the Master series complete! By no means the last word in science fiction but it was a great ride with some excellent ideas and characters. Glad I finally got round to reading these.

Might get into this one today actually. 👀

Shot bar in Upper Junon in FFVII (PSX)

"Give Me Something Hard"
A guided tour and retrospective on every bar, pub, and eatery in Final Fantasy VII!

Junon has some of my favorite spots in the game. Here is a semi-hidden 'Shot Bar' tucked downstairs in an alley. The vibe here gives me a Washington D.C. after hours feel.

Also, I got that thing where your social battery just goes completely flat (towards the end, thankfully), makes getting home that bit sweeter. 😅

We went out for dinner last night and my god, the food hangovers these days are outrageous. 👴🏻

VHS still going strong!

A spoof on the Sonic3D PAL Boxart, but instead of the weirdly modeled but nicely raytraced head of Sonic, there's the 3D rendered head of a grinning, green elf with big pointy ears. Below there's the title "MOONCHILD 3D - FRIENDSHIP POWER ISLAND"

You have the power to be his friend.... in isometric 3D!!
