You're defending generative garbage that will actively and gleefully violate the original authors' intent. Please keep this shit to yourself in the future. It is deeply upsetting and disrespectful.

Someone says they got Space Quest working on a Commodore 64. Let's see if they're right (and if I can get it working in the first place). Usual places: twitch.tv/spacequest... or youtube.com/spaceque...

YouTube going for a dissatisfaction hattrick: First, fuck over small creators by doubling the monetization threshold. Next, change view count metric for no fucking reason. And now, hike the price to live without ads. Hmmm. Sensing a pattern?
"To continue delivering great service and features, we’re increasing your price from DKK 139.00/month to DKK 159.00/month. We don’t make these decisions lightly, but this update will allow us to continue to improve Premium and support the creators and artists you watch on YouTube."

Also, what I'm reading is: "We're going to be paying the people who are ALREADY being paid a lot even more, and leave new creators far behind."

Shit, I just noticed I'm coming up on 20,000 subs. That's a milestone, isn't it? What does one do to celebrate this sort of thing? Do people even care? I'm not a "numbers game" kind of guy but it seems like something people would expect me to do something special for.
I have 19,945 subscribers on YouTube.

Sometimes you get some really weird-ass comments. This one keeps me up at night. The first one is from my King's Quest retrospective compilation; the second is from my recent Space Quest compilation.
"I wish you would take down this video and remake it, pointing the camera against you and not the game screen.

Why do you YouTubers almost always have to ruin the future possibility of exploring thingy s [sic] oneself? Future generations will never be able to enjoy these works of art as long as long [sic] as you YouTubers keep spoiling the way you do here.""This is so sad to see.
You really made yet another video showing the game screens."

Gonna do a short little stream and get back into the swing of things. Might as well start on Blue Force and close the lid on the Police Quest series, right? Watch: twitch.tv/spacequest... • youtube.com/spaceque...

Gotta be real, I was not expecting a Space Quest shoutout in a video about The Amazing Digital Circus, but here we are. youtu.be/kyQ39XVbFso... (timestamped for your convenience)

I'm gonna tell my kid The Amazing Digital Circus is a sequel to Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller.

Space Quest Historian @spacequesthistorian.com · 10/07/2026
Hmm, maybe. But all the light reflections, shiny layers, stripy textures, etc. give me Interplay jank vibes. Also, the Circus (or at least Caine) was created in 1996, which seems a little early for this kind of graphics?

Fun fact: there are an estimated 44 million penguins in Antarctica. Malta has a population of roughly 550,000. So, if Antarctica ever invades Malta, every single Maltese person would have to fight 80 penguins.

Who would ever look at this notification and think, "Wow, that sounds absolutely fantastic"? Fuck all of the way off, Chrome. The only reason I still keep your ass around is because LibreWolf and Ironfox are sometimes TOO GOOD at keeping out intrusive bullshit. (Webdevs, get your shit together.)

Mature Content Description. The developers describe the content like this:

As you travel through space, several people will die - these deaths will be depicted with cartoonish blood, guts, and gore, or will be comedic in tone.

In the throne room, you'll find the walls decorated with statues, complete with comedy alien penises.

To complete puzzles, you'll also have to navigate an alien sex shop, which comes with some sexual paraphernalia and moaning noises.

Thanks, YouTube, I hate it.

A warning to anyone who still wants to play/stream Maize: The stock music they used for the dance scene will get you copyright flagged. I guess that whole 3 hour playthrough video I did, of which their music is played for less than 2 minutes, was all for them. Fix your shit, YouTube.
An email from YouTube saying that my appeal against the copyright claim on my video has been reviewed by the claimant and they have decided they'd rather take my money than respect Fair Use.A scene from the game where a large stalk of menacing corn and three scarecrows intimidate you on a dance floor.

I wish people would stop leaving me requests or recommendations for games to "do." I know that probably sounds ungrateful, but it's not like I'll be running out of games to cover anytime soon, and the only way for me to stay motivated is to do what I want when I want.
You love old insanely difficult games, have you checked out the game The Space Bar? First person, ball bustingly difficult, filled with logic beyond moon logic. I don't think much of anyone has done videos on it.I do not know if I ever asked this, but would you consider doing "Gold Rush"? [And then some blah-blah about why it's bad]Loving your videos. If you haven't, please do the Hugo games. (Not sierra)Is Return to Zork on the radar at all? That seems like ideal fodder for this super-rad channel I just happily discovered.

I believe my Bluesky profile has now achieved perfection.
A screenshot of my profile and banner pictures. The profile picture shows a drawn girl (from a Sierra Christmas catalogue circa 1990) with an excited gaping mouth. The banner picture is from the same catalogue and depicts a boy with a similarly excited gaping mouth. When put together, it appears as if they're screaming at each other.
