Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 06/09/2026Substitute host for Game Center CX is fucking dog shit. 000
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 26/07/2026Maybe this will be the computer that finally brings me happiness. 100
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 03/07/2026Why does it look like Frank Sidebottom in a washing machine? 010
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 26/06/2026I read the Starwing manual a bunch when I was a kid; the descriptions of the Lylat system's various planets in particular were fascinating to me in a ‘babby's first sci-fi’ kind of way (I was also generally way, way into astronomy at the time). The right game at the right time, for me. 120
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 25/06/2026Kind of surprised the devs of the new Star Fox were allowed to plaster a huge ‘WARRANTY VOID’ message on the screen in pursuit of a (pretty decent) joke. Strikes me as the sort of thing Nintendo would be a bit hesitant to do! 110
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 05/06/2026Playing a bunch of Centipede, lately. #32 on the RetroAchievements scoreboards! 000
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 20/05/2026I don't think you can really describe a series of rapes as an ‘accident,’ even in this tortured context. BBC editorial standards have been increasingly poor in recent years but this one's a real fuckheaded use of language. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 100
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 12/05/2026Bought a Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 recently with an eye to slowly crawling my way back into some form of mediocre illustration. Have kind of given myself the jibblies by just how much I've atrophied (and I was never exactly good), but at least it makes for a cracking Nintendo DS XXXXL. 110
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 03/05/2026Has anyone ever actually used an F19 key in anger? Or anything higher than F12? Kind of fascinated these things exist. 000
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 14/03/2026Arbitrarily opened OBS for the first time in forever and found myself confronted by a stupid joke I didn't execute on. 000
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 07/03/2026Also an even dumber supplementary numpad that doubles as a calculator. 000
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 07/03/2026Day one of nine days off from my tech support job, and so far I've started rsyncing the contents of an ailing SD card to my server, and received (and fondled) a dumb-but-cool mechanical keyboard styled after a Commodore 64. I can never truly go home again. 100
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 14/02/2026This thing is stupid and I am in love with it. Look how nicely it's packaged. I'm a massive fucking idiot. 100
Felix Andrews @felixandrews.net · 04/02/2026A user made the mistake of not having a name in mind for their fancy-pants workstation, so I channeled the spirit of @tolkoto.com during configuration. It's a fine cut of beef! 020

[Planet IV: Corneria]
The fourth planet in the Lylat System, Corneria, is known as the “bread basket” of the system. It is a fertile farming world with a variety of climates and terrains. Most of the inhabitants live in the shelter of the mountain ranges, where the most productive farming soil can be found. Corneria is a peaceful planet with only the smallest of defense forces. Most of its starships are designed for exploration and transportation. When Andross's invasion fleet threatened the planet, it was up to General Pepper to improvise some kind of planetary defense. He hired the Star Fox Team to pilot the experimental Arwing Fighters.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4tcm2mizyfmraohswx6w6bgg/bafkreiavmoqghxuvi23hvvhpxlpdl6y3gjlo7ewbapdrmdtotwumjiovo4)

[Asteroid Field]
There are two asteroid fields, consisting of thousands of small planetoids, surrounding Corneria. These swarming chunks of rocks form a dangerous natural barrier to invasion of the planet, as they must be carefully navigated through. However, Andross has developed a powerful new battleship, known as the Rock Crusher, which is capable of reducing planetoids to cosmic dust. It is up to the Star Fox Team to destroy these Rock Crushers before they can clear the way for Andross's main battle armada.
[Meteor]
This giant planetoid is actually an artificial asteroid that was created to be a great amusement facility called “Meteor Land”. The evil Emperor Andross, however, turned it into his advance base, leaving it a mere shadow of its former self. The well stocked military depot is hurtling towards Corneria behind the Space Armada of Andross.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4tcm2mizyfmraohswx6w6bgg/bafkreiaz2y26mfemmw5ourgbqklwbkenzi2qhlqwafh6dcv5qdthizjngq)

[Planet II: Titania]
Titania has no indigenous creatures and is nearly always wrapped in a dense fog. This planet is known as a treasure world because of the large deposits of raw materials that can be found there. While it has not been as hard hit by Andross's invasion fleet as some planets have, it is occupied by a large garrison of his troops. The resources here are extremely valuable to Andross's plans of future conquest.
[Planet V: Fortuna]
Fortuna is also known as the Dinosaur Planet and is prowled by untamed and brutal creatures. Andross has fed and gained control of these brutes and plans to turn them into living weapons. The giant dragon, Monarch Dodora, is the living spirit of this planet and has powers exceeding state-of-the-art weapons. His name is feared throughout the Lylat system.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4tcm2mizyfmraohswx6w6bgg/bafkreiabnq2tbv2jxsq2iruzjle6xwjeiu22leipybj6hfur2epyreg7wy)

[Planet II: Macbeth]
Macbeth has a long history of geological disasters which have changed its very shape. In a unique geological occurrence, the core of the planet shrank while the crust remained the same size, making much of the planet hollow. Andross has used this to his advantage, stockpiling the world with weapons, ammunition and spare ships. As a result of the amount of weaponry stored there, the planet is a gigantic bomb waiting to explode.
[Planet I: Venom]
When Andross was driven out of Corneria by Director General Pepper, he occupied this planet as his base. While it used to be known as the “evergreen planet”, and boasted beauty second only to Corneria's, Andross he re-made it into a dark, polluted world of military machines. The natives, who were not advanced, were enslaved by Andross and drafted into his military machine. Though they serve Andross, they inwardly hope that the forces of Corneria can win a victory and liberate the Lylat system.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4tcm2mizyfmraohswx6w6bgg/bafkreiasscu7tho2jbxc4vg2kbg2fir7g5ckbqpt4irotjacalqn7rzuvq)
