Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles. Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.

"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive

It's no wonder Giraffe isn't on the socials - just had the worst dining experience of my life in the Southbank restauranty. I didn't expect much, but this was atrocious, and the lack of quality control in the kitchen symptomatic of broader hygiene issues. Avoid like the plague.

Can't wait for the full release of this little delight. In the meantime, there's a big chunky demo with which to whet your writ. Is that a thing?

The first playable demo for the frankly fucking brilliant The Royal Writ is available now: store.steampowered.com/app/3710820/... I've spoken before about median playtime being a metric for potential success - we're currently at 1 hour 21 mins for this demo which is huuuuuuge.

Jeremy Clarkson just said Chuck Yeager was "the worst person I've ever met" on celebrity who wants to be a millionaire and before he could expand on this, Fred Siereix made him feel his heart beating and oh my God now I just want to hear Clarkson's story why did you interrupt him Fred FML
