Fifty hours in, not finished the story, and loving #zerocompany It’s #xcom dressed up in a #starwars suit, plus some extras for 2026, and it works *so* well! Looks great on a regular PS5, & the music’s great too! Well done everyone! Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d welcome an expansion :)

Did you know that I'm the lead writer on the new ALIEN RPG cinematic adventure 'Operation Leading Edge'? Free League are taking preorders now and it's due for release in Q4 of this year. This is the second adventure I've co-written, the first being 'Rapture Protocol' 2 years ago. It's in the pipe.
just heard a story about google inserting a discord link from one creator into the bluesky profile preview of another unrelated creator*, presumably through AI. just in case you thought if you skipped the AI preview you're safe related: duckduckgo has a NoAI version *checked myself and it is true
you don't have to use an extension to do this on Firefox • open settings > search • scroll down to search shortcuts and click add • fill out according to the image below (text in alt text) • click add engine • scroll back up and select "DuckDuckGo No Ai" under "default search engine"
A few years ago, I was working on making a dungeon crawler for the Sharp MZ-80A. It used a mix of traditional character graphics and pseudographics. Development eventually stopped, and it's been sitting around collecting dust since then.
Almost 3 AM in Ukraine. Atis and I are lying in the corridor again. I know in the basement could be safer. But I’m so exhausted I don’t even have The strength to run there anymore. So we lie here. Listening. Waiting. Hoping nothing reaches us tonight.
Read this as “parrot” and was horrified, then re-read it correctly and thought “that’s not so terrible”

On YouTube I pretty much only watch music videos, playthroughs of Spectrum games and the odd film trailer...and yet my YouTube recommendations all look like this.
This is what my nightmares are like after I take too much cough syrup
sometimes I just scroll for cat videos on IG so I can share one here.
Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #MoonStrike, I really like this game. Lovely interesting graphics to fly over (until the game crashes ). Love the smiley faces and the coin slot graphics to fly over. Controls well and will keep you amused for a while.
Why make something for DOS? Why make something using QBasic? Why not? Why make something with Lua, or C#, or JavaScript, or Python? Why make something with Godot or Love2D or Raylib? Creation is its own reward
The fun part about old computers/consoles is that they're still there, physically or via emulator, and you can just decide to program for them instead of something modern for no reason other than that it'd be a neat experience and you want to And you can still make stuff people would want today
This would be sheer idiocy. I remember when a day in London would mean “black bogies” (I know, tmi)- now NOPE, and there are lovely leafy lichens everywhere. Positive signs of clean air… keep the current protocol!
'Bring back premature death, lung damage in children and more hospital admissions' is quite the bold campaign slogan.
Reading a book about the Velvet Underground's debut album, and it is striking how everybody assumed Lou Reed had no talent. Don't be afraid to make art, folks. Today's talentless hack may be tomorrow's genius.

Indie games are probably cheaper, so I endorse this message

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.
