Scrubbing through this video made me really sad. Imagine missing a storage unit payment and suddenly your entire career is stripped naked and splayed out butt naked for a few YouTube views before being parceled out. I'm not saying they did anything wrong, it's just deeply unsettling to think about.

Update: Wolfenstein 3D (and the other 8 games I made, back in 2011!) is now safely playable and exportable at DoujinSoft, just look for games created by "Weasel" and published under "OmegaWare Software" diy.tvc-16.science/games?id=54f...

At the very first PAX Australia in 2013 there was a panel/episode screening of The Zone. I asked one of the hosts about the Amos Wong incident, and he looked at me like I was a crazy person.

I just watched this Sinclair Lore video on Nintendo Magazine System (Australia), which I somehow missed at the time. I highly recommend it if you want to decode any references I've ever made to "Amos Wong reviewing Sega" or "Old Skull" www.youtube.com/watch?v=yadB...

Football Manager (by Kevin Toms) kicked off a whole genre in the early '80s. Football Manager (by Sports Interactive) is a modern institution. What happened in between and why was the name up for grabs? New post on Football Manager 2: www.superchartisland.com/football-manager-2

Just discovered there's a Reddit thread where someone posted a pic of our Donkey Kong video in disbelief and everyone trying to dunk on it gets a reply along the lines of "actually, it's good, do some fucking research". Convinced this may very well be our greatest work ever.

I have consistently bad sleeping patterns. But in the last few years, around the two equinoxes, my body will seemingly lock into a "normal, but with not quite enough sleep" schedule. Where I don't get enough sleep, but equally always wake up early, can't sleep in/nap, and hit a wall at midnight.

The group owns a bunch of clubs in various leagues around the world too. (And if it's like Australia, they likely have their tendrils in the admin of the entire league too) It will be interesting to see how widespread the fallout is.

A Bluesky Name @movskyusc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also I think the varied algorithms might be slightly intentional. "New and Trending" is like it is because people will be looking elsewhere for the really good recommendations. you may as well shove a different set of games in front of peoples eyes in the hope one gets lucky.

A Bluesky Name @movskyusc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Knowledge of most of my really anticipated games come from external sources. But calendar filled a gap tbh. If you raise the number of entries, It's a good source for what's coming in the months ahead. weirdly the front page calendar panel doesn't match with the version you click through to.

A Bluesky Name @movskyusc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I think Steam has several recommendation algorithms of variable quality running in different spots. (or one big one that takes the current screen into account). for me: 'New and Trending' is garbage. Steam Calendar is pretty good (though has dropped off lately). incidental side ads laser-focused

The game literally has estrogen (described as Lady Pills - 'Blue pigment, where girls come from') as a buff item. I've said it before, but these guys might not be LITERATE literate, let alone media literate.

Pining for "The good old days" is a common fascist trope. But the more useful question is "Do fascists consciously co-opt retro game aesthetics?" (absolutely yes)
