The two space games that first caught my imagination were early Star Trek games, usually written in BASIC with simple graphics and text-based navigation. And of course Star Raiders on the Atari 8-bits, similar premise but with exciting 3D shoot-em-up action and a starfield that worked really well.

Get me Burnham or Binface on the phone. This country needs proper snacks back. Proper chocolate. Proper fizzy drinks. Proper crisps. Not all this Mondelez, Nestle and Walkers shite. Sure fire vote winner.

Bluesky is not an ‘On the Buses bubble’. It’s just one the increasingly few public spaces where fans of Don’t Drink the Water get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.

Bluesky is not a "#TOTP bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where fan's of The Hitman and Her get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.
