The Crimson Diamond BIG BOX is being planned! 🤩 If you were going to buy one, would you prefer: a) CD-ROM with printed surface b) usb stick made of maple wood with a laser-engraved logo?

The devs had long since fixed the bug in question by the time I encountered it. I just hadn't updated the CRT on my Kung Fu Flash to the fixed version, which has been out for six whole months. Dunno how I missed it. Regardless, it was a decent run up to that point. youtu.be/sXdXF1UHqE0

Not quite a review, not quite a let's-play, in this video we test the waters of Epyx's ill-fated Legend of Blacksilver. Hopefully it sheds a light on how much time to invest before deciding whether the game is for you. youtu.be/AaoxChh3D-M

This is the first AI use case I've been enthusiastic for. Does it mean I've gone over to the dark side? youtu.be/Uj1dbGF7mdo And no, you aren’t having deja vu. I had to pull the first version of this video because I uploaded a timeline with a load of scratch garbage at the end. No AI in the edit!

Eleven years ago today we learned of the tragic passing of Laffer35. He was a delightful part of the Amiga retro gaming community. It seems like a lifetime ago. Every year I remind us all not to forget. Remember Laffer35.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?" Probably my Frontier tutorial series: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqhP... People still tell me it's helping them get into the game. It's not huge but I'm glad it's been helpful to people.

Whew, crossed the finish line at 10:24 p.m. on the final day of Novel November, with 50,725 of the most inane BS words ever written. Had a blast with the whole reader participation Choose Your Own Adventure angle. Loads of fun was had by all. But I'm never doing one of these challenges ever again.

I have it on good authority that both the interviewer and the interviewee here are portrayed by imposters. And the only reason the authorities look the other way, the interviewer has stolen the interviewee's identity, and the other way round. Let this be a lesson, kids. Don't impost. Stay in school.
