Nice to see @hbomberguy.bsky.social has joined the Board in Control Resonant.

The screenshot from Control: Resonant shows a dark, atmospheric scene dominated by an enormous, narrow, shaft of stone plunging into the ground, into a murky, blue-grey void.

At the bottom centre of the screen, bold white text reads:
<BUCKLE UP / SHIFT GEAR>

I like! "Just one more thing..." QTE starts that may require answers based on something that occurred earlier. You get it wrong, there are followups as he digs into your disparity. Or he asks about eg your shoes - something innocuous, but you might mess it up by getting the QTE wrong.

I know I have been hyping up Rhiannon a lot recently, but I was reminded today of the time she interviewed Randy Pitchford and, when asking about game preservation, seemingly caused him to have a mild existential crisis about the heat death of the universe... and Battleborn.

Wasn’t able to secure any review code for HELLRAISER unfortunately. But I found this amazing FB clip of Doug Bradley doing a Scouse Pinhead and now I’m crying from laughter. He’s amazing. (Source: YMH Podcast.)

wtf, www.lycos.com is back up It had died, I assumed us variously pointing out it still existed had made someone realize it was still there so they killed it but no it's actually back, and still has no AI bullshit, and still works fine, and now actually looks like someone remembered it exists HUH

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Put in some serious time on Control: Resonant once it had downloaded again. Was getting into the kind of flow during close-quarters fights that I last experienced in Shadow of Mordor, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Me: finishing work and looking forward to playing my already-downloaded copy of Control: Resonant. Remedy: You FOOL.

We recently released a hotfix intended to improve the gameplay experience of CONTROL Resonant.

Unfortunately, this triggered certain platform mechanisms on PC, forcing players who had already downloaded the game to download it again, thereby causing you unnecessary inconvenience.

This was an oversight on our part. We don't have an excuse, we would only like to sincerely apologise to everyone affected.

We will learn from this experience and strive to prevent similar issues in the future.

She actually held that last shot unblinking for 50 minutes but it had to be cut down for release.

I respect our British culture. DO YOU?

A scene from Chorlton and the Wheelies. A UK TV show that starred a relentlessly Yorkshire-accented dragon called Chorlton. The principal villain is Fenella the Kettle Witch, a green-faced, Welsh-accented witch who lives in a giant kettle called Spout Hall and continually tries to make everybody miserable.

In the image, Chorlton is on the right, an orange, antennaed dragon with an enormous black nose, a rainbow-striped hat and the fixed expression of somebody delighted by absolutely everything.

Fenella is just left of centre, glaring out from beneath her red fez hat, with an enormous green hooked nose and chin, curly hair and black clothing. Between and around them is a crowd of Wheelies. These are bulbous pink, grey and blue creatures with tiny arms, wheels, hats, enormous noses and expressions ranging from furious to mildly bewildered.

Then for no immediately obvious reason the entire left side of the picture is dominated by a gigantic leg in a red, white and black striped sock, wearing a huge tan lace-up boot with a red star on it.

Exactly. I'm not surprised at her politics (she previously led a choir of 100+ people in a rendition of 'From the river to the sea'), her launching into California Über Alles was a nice surprise.

We saw this 'Player 1, SELECT' from the Tories in the UK a few years ago. WTF?

Theresa May, Sajid Javid and George Osborne from the UK, adopting a 'power stance' that involves posing in a dress or suit, with legs akimbo.

Gridrunner on the Vic20. I’d played games on the ZX81 but Gridrunner was the first ‘this is an arcade game on my TV’ feeling, hooking me, and I spent ages on it, sending Jeff Minter my new high score each month for the newsletter 😀

RIP to Tilly Norwood, who was accidentally uploaded into a Quake 3 Arena match and gibbed by a rocket launcher instead of the SFM machinima she was supposed to appear in. She is survived by her closest kin, Gal Gadot.

It's quite the whiplash to flick through the phone books for 'Swords of Cerebus' then 'The Last Day'. Catching the 'Reads' comics as they were released was quite the experience (not in a good way). "Female Void" vs "Male Light" <shudder>
