#8 is complete - Theme Hospital! Haven't played since one since 2009, so it's been fun to go back and complete another playthrough. Pictures of my final hospital included. Constant chain of Doctors being trained for Psych, Surgery and Research, which was good as I was expanding at a rate of knots.

A year ago - just before my 40th birthday - I wrote a list of games I wanted to replay from years passed, challenges I never managed to do, and games I never managed to finish. The total came to around 145. In the last 12 months, I've managed to cross off 7. This might take me a while 😅

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

It's not a good couple of days to be a gamer who wants physical products. No actual disc for GTA VI, and that insanely overpriced Sonic & Sonic 2 rerelease bullshit.

Happy birthday Deus Ex!!!!

I don't really care for it after Rockstar's firing of the developers that were rightly unionising.

You want fun? Wario will show you fun. Sit back and relax because I'm talking a whole bunch of Wario Land stuff today! Thanks to @thehauntedarcade.bsky.social for helping me co-edit this, and a lovely thank you (?) to @blazehenry1.bsky.social for the Virtual Boy. Link: youtu.be/0zlgxH6UmjI

I'm starting to remember why I tended to stay off social media. There are days I feel like I'm shouting into the void.

Drawing Wario everyday until there's a new Wario Land game day 1960. 1960 was the year Richard Nixon lost the election to JFK, of whom I heard Wario was in the running as well. Wario was annoyed people found Nixon more endearing.

While everyone has been playing Mina the Hollower, I myself have been playing a puzzle title featuring rats called Squeakross. It's a very fun title where if you solve a nonogram puzzle, you get a piece of furniture for your rat's home or accessories for your rat to wear.

I'm going to leave this here in the hopes it'll get more support. An Early Day Motion has been set up to reject the EHRC's recommended changes. If you feel as strongly as I do about this, please sign the petition and follow up on it with your MP. equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

In light of Legends Retold's announcement, I pushed up my replay of Rayman Legends to the top of my replay list. This game is still gorgeous. More screenshots to come!

Managed to make it through Terraniux, to Noork's Elbow. 1&2: I love the lighting change with these switches - the engine was was one of my favourite things about Unreal when it first came out. 3: Reached the Hydroponic Garden area of Terraniux 4: Oh yeah. Not going to regret taking a dip in this.

Terraniux has one of the best tracks in the game.

I've been keeping a list of classic games I want to replay, finish or challenge myself on for a while. This month seems like an ideal time to start playing through them (even if it feels a bit like a midlife gaming crisis...) I'm really looking forward to revisiting some old favourites.

This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10 (TT: rhiannoninthe904)

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

Oh yeah, three of my Sci-Fi Unreal Engine assets are on SALE, discount -70%. So, they are old-ish, made in UE4, and that's where they shine (UE4 that is). In UE5 "there might be dragons" 😀... Honestly, assets are uber-packed with content, see pics and videos. Link: t.co/fEdSlJCtoF

Damn you Amazon. This is why we can't have anything nice.
