Meanwhile, friends have suggested we set up a gofundme to help alleviate money worries while trying to get Flo back on her feet again. And then they did all the hard work setting it up as well. So if you'd like to help, please have at it. And if you can't that's fine too. gofund.me/d0d4004d7

I'd like to go one further. I'm looking for people interested in investing in Super Saiyan Intelligence (SSI).

Depression can make any of us feel isolated. But you don’t have to face it alone. If you’re in the UK and need someone to listen, Samaritans are there 24/7: 116 123. One call. No judgement. Just someone there. 💚

I'm gutted for you! I'm really grateful to have been able to see it. Maybe given how much it's made at cinemas they'll rerun it.

Great to have seen The Transformers: The Movie for its 40th anniversary. The short at the end was a fitting tribute to Peter Cullen. I won’t spoil it, as others have here, but do seek it out if you get the chance.

Mmm, I'm getting AI vibes from the Ocarina of Time remake, and I'm not 100% sure why. I thought Nintendo wasn't using AI?

Thanks! We wanted to get the Steam page up in time for our showing at @adventurex.bsky.social in November and the launch of the CHORDS! prequel/prologue. We’ll most likely revisit some parts of the page as we get closer to the full game’s release!

Booked in to see Transformers: The Movie for its 40th anniversary at the cinema in September. Feels like a fitting way to say goodbye to Peter Cullen and celebrate the voice that meant so much to so many of us. 💙🤖 youtu.be/OtgnqWLYqHo?...

Utterly utterly heartbroken. Peter is the one voice actor I'd hoped to meet in person at a con. I missed my opportunity a couple of years back. The guy was the voice of my childhood. Rest in peace fella!

Plenty of games coming out on retro hardware that thrill me, but I hold a special place in my heart for any coming out on the Mega Drive specifically, like Chords! I've had a blast watching the progress of this Snatcher-like ADV game being developed for the MD. The pixel work looks so good!

Do I have moots in games or games journalism who would want to help out with a charity stream and feel like they could "teach" something? Can be things like "how to design a character" or even like "how to speedbuild in Minecraft." The options are endless. Please DM me! Signal boost!

I know this isn’t my usual retro post, but it’s so sad to hear this. Having seen cancer turn my own family’s world upside down in recent years, this hits home. Lucy Davis was such a huge part of the UK’s The Office. My thoughts and very best wishes are with her and her family.
