I literally, and instinctually, went to the WOS site to verify that "denienced" was a word used to describe games that hadn't been given permission to be downloaded, a word that was borne on WOS, and the site was down. Actual retrogaming vocabulary was almost erased from existence.

FAO anyone interested in the ZX Spectrum: Lee Fogarty has just announced that worldofspectrum.org is back online. Phew. You're talking about THE OLDEST RETROGAMING SITE ONLINE GOING BACK TO THE 90's going down. The forums themselves are a treasure trove of information. Someone needs to back that up.

Interesting article in the Metro detailing why there's no nostalgia for the NES in the UK, spoils it at the end by listing some of the most famous NES games ever made instead of the relatively unknown games we actually played back then.

The NES in the UK - why there’s no nostalgia for Nintendo's first console

To mark the anniversary of the NES, GameCentral breaks down how, despite the reverence many have for it, it had such little impact on UK gamers.

I remember being taught Photoshop 3 in college, which was so long ago that it could save a file as an .iff naturally. I tried to use it to make Worms levels, but could never transfer them from Mac to Amiga. Flash forward 20+ years and I managed it on my PC. monsters-legs.itch.io/war-of-the-w...

War of the Worms by Monster's Legs

This is a self-booting Amiga disk filled with custom Worms levels based on sci-fi craft.

Apparently it's been 11 years since I worked out how to transfer art from my Photoshop to my Amiga. Download .iff format save patch for Photoshop. Save art as an .iff onto CF camera card. Buy PCMCIA slot adaptor to use card on Amiga. And that's why episode 400 of Keezees is an ADF (not shown).

Andres was the first single I ever bought on CD. This Ain't Pleasure was the first tune I "downloaded" (sent away for two Amiga floppy disks containing the song). Had tickets to see them in 2020 but obviously COVID happened. And I gave them place of pride on my battlejacket. Fucking LOVE L7. #L7

There's also BreakSpace, dedicated to the ZX Spectrum, I've done the cover art for a few issues so I've been witness to the hard work that goes into it behind the scenes. breakspace.itch.io

Ok, this might be a daft idea but I'm thinking of starting up an art Patreon for 'covers'. Mags, games, comics, maybe even a VHS or two. Oh, and a new alt version of these each month. Vote for what you thought should have been on the cover. That kind of thing.

I like my punk. Went to a folk festival last year, expecting fiddle-dee-dee music. Last act on the Saturday night was 2 guys with an accordion and a bodhran, doing punk cover versions. I got up in front of them, started skankin, got everybody else up to the same, ended up in a folk mosh pit lol

Oh, and no inertia on the crosshair. No need for that. Inertia is the bane of fun.

I'd make Savage Princess 3 a lot less complicated than Ghost Hunters. I think the general consensus with that game is that people like it, until they don't. A big map showing what you've just unlocked would make a great difference, and is easy to implement in MPAGD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMl...

Genuinely didny know Penguins were Glaswegian. Every days a learning day...which is slightly disappointing knowing that they no longer use proper milk chocolate, they have to be advertised as having a "chocolate flavoured coating".

If DC artists can set a Constantine comic in Scotland and have our sleek British Rail passenger trains replaced with boxy American-style freight trains*, I'm sure you can put shrimp in Loch Ness. *this actually happened

I have another "dream palace" that's creepier; a black medieval church, sitting at the bottom of a neatly manicured, bowl-shaped field of grass, on a nice sunny day. I can walk around it and examine details of the church, but any attempt to go in instantly wakes me up.

Bought Grandia 2 for the PS2 recently, haven't played it yet cos I have the dreaded PS2-slim ribbon-cable disc-scratcher, so I might try fixing that this weekend.

...went back to the stall holder and said my item was missing, they asked if I kept the receipt, I said hold on, woke up, looked for my receipt, fell asleep again and said no, I must have lost it. Seller said they couldn't do anything without the receipt. Woke up again angry at myself.

One of my "dream palaces" seems to amalgamise The Barras and the back streets of Blackpool promenade. I can visit it whenever I want, it has the same architecture every time, and people recognise me. I once bought something, woke up, was annoyed at that it was missing, fell asleep again...(1/2)

This is why I eventually tuned out of the Games Master TV show, the kid's opinions were terrible, like marking down Castlevania SotN because it's 2D and looked old-fashioned, when they just want to play Tomb Raider cos 3D and boobs.

I still write my site keezees.com in Notepad. It doesn't need to be fancy, it's just a webcomic, so it's just text and images for the most part. I had to pay for a HTTPS certificate because it was that simple that it kept flagging as an insecure site.

Always wondered why someone hadn't done something like this before. You can install a patch into Gimp to turn it into Photoshop.
