Before Portal, there was, well, Portal. Activision's 1986 'computer novel' is one of the examples of the kind of entertainment software being developed for the Commodore Amiga in its first year. High concept, artsy, and tapping into the creativity-focused marketing for the computer.

A scan of the box from Mobygames, with an almost completely glossy black cover and the worlds PORTAL and the computer novel tagline at the top. Ghost-like faces can be seen at the bottom of the cover. In the upper centre: an evocative premise.

Homer, A Biological Computer. The Final Link to the Past and the Only Conduit to the Future. But Homer is dying and access grows weaker moment by moment. Will you discover where everyone has gone or will to the doorway to humanity close forever, leaving you totally alone?

We don't talk enough about the soundtrack of Fuck's Quest II, which was clearly made by someone who understands how to compose music and used that knowledge for evil

love that classics of game isn't even a mega popular youtube channel but "classics of (x)" has still spread as a very particular way of describing things

one of those 'lost a bet bro so now we gotta have gay sex' porns but the game being bet on is mahjong and they never actually get to the sex because it's taking forever to learn/nobody can retain the rules or hands

me: so yeah that's why i think people are too hard on ghostbusters 2, even though i agree it's not a great movie. divine being taking the shape of a 20 foot tall inflatable pool toy lugia: enough of this blather. heavenly spear blast me, about to feel the gravity of a sun: that's fair

the funny thing is even if you decide to be generous and give obama's position here credence, the core problem remains that a ton of the most visible democrats - himself included! - will not take actually strong moral stances, even/especially against deeply unpopular policies, people, corps, etc

checked out a bit of that game Sucker For Love: Crush Landing, and i'd need to actually rewatch the series to see if my vibe here is right, but the sense of humor in it kind of reminds me of - of all things - Excel Saga

Colin Spacetwinks @spacetwinks.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

due to the unresolved events at the end of ecco: the tides of time, i think ecco the dolphin should be able to show up in other stories involving time travel. not doing anything in particular, just kind of hanging out

what's extra weird is that the voice of sonic on the netflix cartoon has basically the best garfield impression despite not actually playing him www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMvD...

kinda crazy how much that new garfield game is like trying to copy bubsy 4d's homework. god it's funny to think of a bubsy game that's now actually legitimately good enough to have influence

interesting to think of the differences between '9 games who shaped who i am' and '9 favorite games' or even '9 games important to me', thinking of games and the *influence* they have more than anything else also hilarious that Mega Man 3 goes high for me due to my internet use and Bob and George

Updating this while I sit by the phone waiting to hear back from a recruiter to see if they have anything yet, still. I feel like I'm losing what's left of my mind in search of something very basic that no longer exists. I always hate asking, but invoices are coming in too slow and too small. Still.

it's so awesome that it doesn't matter if you're a radical leftie or a VBNMW type who just wants to see some basic consequences for the prez, and it doesn't matter how popular the demand you have is, these motherfuckers just don't care what you think regardless
