LOL I woke up this morning to find out that Maria bought a cameo from Richard Summers-Calvert (Biddy Blas HIMSELF) to celebrate our wedding as Biddy in Huttenese and he COMMITTED. What a champ!! Biddy Blas confirmed ally.

The four games that are the basis for much of what's in Order of the Sinking Star are freely available on the original devs' sites to play in your browser, for those wanting to see what inspired Blow's game.

For Patrons: Another Evercade review to see the month off, this time with a look at Activision Collection 1. It's hard to talk about the 2600 library without this publisher, so it's nice to have them on Evercade. Where will it rank in my increasingly ungainly list? www.patreon.com/ShaunMusgrav...

Had a quick flick through the new Retro Gamer. Nice to see a Cinemawear feature in there again. Those games really blew my mind as a kid. Only ever saw them in magazines and on shows like Games Master, though. About due an Evercade release, I reckon.

I don't have the energy for another week of this, but one thing that I don't think people understand: Paxton is making his entire campaign about trans people. The best way to show *other Republicans* that this isn't a winning message is to defeat him. That *will slow* the GOP anti-trans tide.

Okay, don’t go find and harass this guy, but: it’s kind of alarming to see this specific kind of madness spreading, about a vital race that is a coin-flip. Important to squelch this kind of thinking with extreme prejudice. Talarico must win.
