You remember that episode of Black Mirror where the 8 year old child wins the presidency?

I have missed a couple of retrogamers before and email and they were good about sending a replacement... But this time I haven't heard back for days :(

I remember when I was in high school I used to be a real edge lord and I would say they should Pay Per View executions because it would make a bunch of money. I was like 17 and thought that was badass.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

@retrogamermag.bsky.social I have not been delivered by last 2 issues of the mag (289+290). I have emailed magazinesdirect multiple times about my issue and I have had no response. Is there anything you can do to help?

It has this really crunchy decision making system where you have to construct a rube-goldberg machine in your mind to achieve your goal (satisfying and rewarding). It's really difficult to truly do poorly, so it remains competitive but good play is still rewarded. Great components/art.

We played Quantum with a variant that the white enhancement cards are all face down so you never know how your civilization will progress! It was fun with some lesser used enhancements seeing play. #boardgames

The ZX aesthetic is my favorite retro video game aesthetic. I must have this book.

I quite liked the cartridge cure video with the pomodoro timer! The idea of a limited selection of games is something I am very into! People tend to juts out the whole collection on stuff… but I declare it’s better to bring a smaller number!

Intro to Amiga game Miami Chase... This does a good job describing our current political situation. Except instead of "you" the single vigilante driver it's every high school bully... And instead of 8 notorious criminals it's any brown person or child. Life imitates art. #amiga #retrogaming #iceout

I think we are seeing a change, because candidates who are saying "The rich are the problem lets tax them and fix stuff!" are winning! (Mamdani, Abdul etc...) Stuff traditional democrats have historically not had the balls to say.

VirtualAlex @lexkrasny.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

They have tricked people into thinking the democrats are the reason texas is fucked up <_< they are just so much better at selling this simple narrative. "Trans/immigrants/elites made texas bad! Need more conservatives to fix"

Games really need a "replay tutorial" option because I often take like 2-year breaks between playing a game and then I am too deep and have no idea how to play. Currently my experience with AC Odyssey...

Oh hell yeah i will be all over this.

We did it! “The Nerd Reich” is a New York Times Instant Bestseller! My book debuts at #3 on the non-fiction list. Thanks to all who pre-ordered /bought the book—or requested it at the public library or promoted it on social. Without you, I’m just an unemployed guy with a laptop. But with you…

Marathon on Mac was one of my most formative childhood games which I have played for decades. So happy it got features in RetroGamer a few months ago. I couldn't wait o gush about it. youtu.be/f6icm0jKdTM?... (timestamped) #retrogaming

Hey @retrogamermag.bsky.social how do authors choose what game to write about? How much of it is assigned by leadership or editors and how often can an author just do what they want? Is it a little of both?
