We are deeply saddened by the passing of Richard “Levelord” Gray. From his legendary work on Duke Nukem 3D to the countless players and developers he inspired, Richard leaves behind a lasting legacy. Rest in peace, Levelord.

That was the first PC I ever owned, although I want to also do a build of it now, albeit with a DX4-100, as well as also sourcing a 5x86 CPU!

I'm not well enough to work right now, so whilst I don't have that weighing upon me, I only have so many usable hours (factoring in energy too) for doing the practical side of projects! It's a lot less draining for me to do research at least, because a lot of it can be done on my phone!

Heh, gotta love ordering something scheduled to arrive today, only for it to now instead arrive 2 days late, when I needed it beforehand to wear and pack! Also, I've learnt a very valuable lesson about not exerting myself too much, because it puts me out of commission for too long!

Most of my cracking thankfully isn't followed by an "ow", though at least sometimes it's an "ooh", either because it happened, or it actually relieved something!

I know that LLMs use practiced empathy/sympathy, although they're "aware" that they can't feel anything, although at the same time, the acknowledgement is still a nice thing to get, especially if the people you need to acknowledge what's happening currently aren't!

Stormkeeper @ Gamed Up & Played Up 🇺🇦 @stormkeepergu.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I wasn't aware of that at the time, but I was living in Ireland, and we had access to BBC Northern Ireland and UTV (and C4), although I'm not sure how we were able to... I know that I wasn't able to watch Channel 5 there though!

I remember this game being loaded up on my C64, although the tape was taken out after... Of course, at the same time, I don't recall making it past the first level, so that probably didn't matter!

It premiered later on UK (BBC) TV, as I recall seeing it for the first time ever in 1990 or thereabouts, especially as I recall my mum and I watching TOS before that!

It has indeed helped, but I'm definitely struggling when it comes to getting an ADHD diagnosis, especially as the waiting list is almost 2 years long! Also, I'm having to effectively scale a wall with getting my dysautonomia recognised with a diagnosis!

It was actually the associated health board for the region (East Midlands), rather than Dublin, which was considered more developed than the rest of the country back then, especially as the economy was pretty terrible back then!

I wasn't diagnosed with autism until 1990 in Ireland, where I was the first, if not one of the first children diagnosed with Aspergers at the time in Kildare! At the time, England (even Brighton/Sussex) didn't even know much about it, so Ireland was quite pioneering at the time, especially given-

I remember those films... Ashens played some of the PSAs on his stream ages ago, and reminded most of his viewers of the trauma they felt when younger - myself included! Those drink-driving ads go for the absolute jugular though...
