Good news, my fellow Depth Dwellians! The developer of the in-development Depth Dwellers remaster, @trisoftlegacy.com,posted photos of the game's original box sample as well as the rare Spanish edition! Truly, we may live to see the day of the long-awaited Depth Dwellers big box rerelease. #awsome

You know what? I'm not gonna to take this sitting down! Despite Ritual not selling this SiN Ep1 patch shirt for 20 years now, I went and bought it and the accompanying mouse pad anyway! They just arrived, and here's photo proof! How do you like them apples, @MumboJumboGames (again, not on Bluesky)?
I wish I had bought the official "I beat SiN Episode 1 Before the Patch!" shirt when I had the chance back in 2006, because how can I tell people 20 years later that I did, in fact, beat SiN Episode 1 before the patch? Hey @MumboJumboGames (not on Bluesky), can you come back and unpatch SiN Ep1?

Speaking of its 20th anniversary, these are just a handful of screenshots I captured on the first day I purchased The Ship on July 24, 2006. Boy, it's hard to believe all these people must certainly be dead by now. #theship
The Ship: Murder Party was released 20 years ago! A commercial title running on the Source Engine 2006, sequel to its old Half-Life 1 mod The Ship, and developed by Outerlight studio!
After 27 years, I've finally solved this Duke Nukem: Zero Hour mystery reference for myself. Hey @dukenukemgame (not on BlueSky), how was I supposed to get this as a kid? This bloody British humour just went way over me bloomin' head! #dukenukem #dukelore #alanpartridge #cookpassbabtridge
URGENT TWEET: Did anyone about 30-ish years ago either send or receive a @sega.jp Segagram using one of these "Duke Grams"? That email sitting in your AOL or Compuserve account may be the last hope of preserving these lost Duke Nukem 3D renders! #segagram #dukelore #damnyouregood
I want to wish everyone a Happy Valenti- wait a minute, why is the camouflage pattern on Duke 3D's Pig Cop Tank the same as the one on the camo walls in Final Doom's Plutonia? You lied to me, @dukenukemgame (not on Bluesky) @doom.com! You betrayed me! You used me! #dukelore #doomlore #Valentines
I've received reports that Steam scammers are impersonating my profile and sending friend requests. If you ever need to verify it's really me, always check for Verne and Varginha Remastered Playtest. In other words, if it ain't got Mini-Me in Varginha, it ain't me (in Varginha).
I see all these people always talking about Half-Life 3, and yet no one talks about the fact that the Stalker concept art in the Half-Life 2 anniversary documentary is so heavily cropped. Why do you not want us to see, like, 80% of the beta Stalker, @valvesoftware.com? #halflife
I wanted to assure everyone that the Ivan and Monkey picture is not lost media as it had always been safely preserved. Perhaps by viewing this image you may also be a part in ensuring its historical legacy for future generations. #halflife #gordonandamonkey
YEARLY THANKSGIVING REDNECK RAMPAGE FU FACT: If you "Yeehaw!" in a barrel, you're rewarded with a whole 10 bonus health points instead of the normal 1! Be sure to use this elite tactic to give yourself the edge in your next Redneck Rampage multiplayer competition! #Thanksgiving
On this day and no other, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ricochet, unleashed Nov. 14, 2000 with Counter-Strike. As its Steam page is wrong, I suggest finding a way of remembering Ricochet's correct birthday. It's easy for me since today is also my own birthday. #ricochet2
Once again, Valve's deceit fools an unsuspecting populace: Ricochet's release date on Steam is false. Ricochet released November 14, 2000 in the retail disc version of Counter-Strike. But fear not, for I continue my 20+ years vigilance against Valve's Ricochet lies! #ricochet2
Today is November 1st. You know why it's an important day? Because 25 years ago the best Valve selling game Ricochet was released! Happy Birthday Ricochet, we can not forget about you <3
I searched and could only find 20+ year old forum posts mentioning this, so here's the Return to Castle Wolfenstein "I need ammo!" reference in Sealab 2021. To any surviving show creators: See? One guy did recognize the reference. And I even remembered it too! Totally worth it!
After years of searching, I finally refound my favorite 90s Half-Life fan art of all time! Sadly, I lost the artist's name literal decades ago, but what mere name can do justice to a masterpiece? Hey @valvesoftware.com, please cancel HLX and remake this picture. #halflife
Today is the 20th anniversary of the original “WTF BOOM” meme getting uploaded to the internet. Many may not know this, but the explosion and laughter comes from our “Cold Fear” video we did for Ubisoft back in 2005. Thank you for keeping the legacy alive.
Spurred on by @wrestlingbios.bsky.social' latest Reliving the War, I reviewed the Sep 18, 2000 WWF Raw to try to find myself and my dad in the audience, and I think we're roughly among these blurry splotches. Thus, I can say I was on cable TV! Does anyone have a satellite feed of this show?
Actual footage of my desktop on this day (and most days, to be fair). #doom #fireworks
20 years ago today, June 28, 2005, I created "What is Half-Life?" on YTMND, becoming my most popular site there which spurred an interest in creating more HL stuff. whatishl.ytmnd.com But it left one burning question: Hey @valvesoftware.com, what is Half-Life? #halflife #ytmnd
In this Duke Nukem D-Day build, the lockers in this science lab kind of look like the ones in Half-Life's Anomalous Materials Lab. It even has one labeled "Freeman" too! What are the odds? Boy, what a coincidence this is, eh @valvesoftware.com @gearboxofficial.bsky.social? #halflife #dukelore
In this book's Garry Newman interview, this screenshot is identified as being the original 1998 Half-Life, yet it's clearly 2006's Half-Life: Deathmatch Source! Boy I really hope somebody got fired for this blunder, @bitmapbooks.com! And why didn't you correct them, @garrynewman.bsky.social? #jbmod
In this newly-leaked Duke Nukem: D-Day build, the evil scientist's lab contains cloning tanks with Dukes from 1, 2, 3D, and even TTK. However, the fourth tank is empty! As if we're still waiting for that Duke! Maybe waiting... 'forever'! I see what you did there, @dukenukemgame (not on Bluesky)!
You: Barney Calhoun in Blue Shift isn't Barney Calhoun because it doesn't call you Barney. Me: The manual calls you Barney Calhoun. Multiple times, even! Don't worry, @gearboxofficial.bsky.social, I'm a real fan who's got your back! #halflife #realfan (Scans by @segadreamcastinfo.bsky.social)
The key art for the new release of The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki depicts Dr. Radiaki himself with two normal arms, yet his left arm (or right, if the shot's flipped) is canonically a laser cannon. Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for this blunder, @zoom-platform.com! #radiakilore
Whoever just won this shirt at auction has officially laid claim to the being the coolest cat in all of the Doom-dom. You can go ahead and cancel the game release now, @doom.com; the dark ages of Doom are no more! #doom #doomer #doomersdoit
The RIOTTANK.3DS model found in the recent 3D Realms discs in the late Stephen Hornback's data archive sure looks like it could be 'the' original model used for the Pig Cop Tank sprites in Duke Nukem 3D. Hey @dukenukemgame (not on Bluesky), can you confirm or disconfirm this suspicion? #dukelore
Good news, my fellow PO'ed-ians! My PC physical edition of PO'ed: Definitive Edition has arrived, now joining The World's Largest (known) PO'ed Collection™! This may also inadvertently document the woeful decline of PC "big" box releases. #poed #RIPboxesthatRtoobig #3do4life
Speaking of Painkiller, I'll be on the lookout in the reboot for my favorite iconic foes of the series, those being stagehands, robots, vikings, Japan, and pirate skeletons. What did you mean by the theological implications of robots ending up in Purgatory, @painkillergame.bsky.social?
