!!SHOUTOUT TO MY CHRONICALLY SICK BITCHES!!

If you're a woman over 30 in a Retro community, I automatically assume you have at least one horrible and somewhat mysterious chronic health issue. Though, you could probably strike out "in a Retro community". ...And "over 30".

More than what Frank said, I think a big reason VGHF has been able to build trust is that we've approached our collections in a way that is human and thoughtful, instead of just acting like wolves tearing at meat. If all you care about is Stuff, then you'll end up treating people's lives like Stuff

Reducing light pollution at night helps migrating birds. Turn off the lights for them!

I sent him an email to thank him for inspiring it! Decent chance it's not to his taste at all, so I'll leave it at that for now. 😅

IBS, UTI, ostomy bag, menstruation... anything that incorporates waste-related urgency somehow.

Someone should run a Don't Shit Your Pants jam, where you make Don't Shit Your Pants-likes.

The internet is still a wonderful place, because it permits me to watch every Michel Gondry music video whenever I want to (often.)

Okay I covered it with vintage Sandylion stickers, made a scratch cover out of an old sheet (and painted my Neopet on it), and found some old anime calling cards to put in the secret compartment. I think I can use it now.

As described, featuring a hastily painted Halloween Poogle.

You always make such a visible effort to say nice things, which makes you one of my favourite kinds of people!

I literally Googled bung a couple of years ago, because the torment of not knowing exactly what it was had been eating away at me for decades.

You're right! It's genuinely incredible how many people this game series reached! It was a formative PC experience for so many.

Happy October Eve! For Hallozeen this year, I made a 16-page walkthrough for a 36 year-old shareware classic. Primarily out of trash. I have no idea who the target audience is for this, besides me, but here you go! emmfoolery.itch.io/a-hallozeen-... #dosgaming #retrogaming

The opening game screen of Hugo's House of Horrors, by David P. Gray, for MS-DOS. A game released like, two weeks before I was born. Hugo's outside a haunted house! Spooky.

Thank you so much! I genuinely respect your opinion on creative exploits, so this means a lot.

P.S. If you want a physical copy, you need to trigger an irl random encounter with me, and trade me for your loose change. (This is legitimately easier and cheaper than dealing with AusPost.)

Shaun Micallef-adjacent media taught me more about the world than the Australian education system ever did.

In #StarCadre Team Command, the Unity of Free Planets is in a state of cold war against the alien Donos Empire, and also has to defend its citizens from other enemies. You command a unit of operatives for the Unity. cyningstan.itch.io/star-cadre-t... #ibmpc #msdos #cga

I usually try to counter casual self deprecation, but this is more inspired than I'm accustomed to. 😅

This is so extraordinarily pleasant to look at. Congratulations on your release, and thank you for the soothing shot of dopamine!

The fact that I'm using this video to self-soothe is probably a little concerning.

No A.I. is a rule in my game jam, not a request. It's a trust-based system, and I actively oppose any witchhunts. But please don't. If you use A.I., at all, please don't enter your game into my jam. It clashes so harshly with my core interests, efforts, and ethics. Please let us have this space.
