I like alternate versions of films, probably as much as I like watching the originals

Ted Turner's colorization of old movies, Giorgio Moroder rescoring Fritz Lang's Metropolis, hell even those TV edits of Casino and Die Hard 2 where they have to censor so many swears it's comical

It's amazing

taking shower, getting clean, shaving and moisturizing after the shower, which makes me sweat, negating the reason I took a shower

spotted this at an antiques store yesterday

New blog post! In this, the final episode of the BBC Bridge Companion saga, I... finally write a Tetris game.

There's still more to do around the release (I got sidetracked badly this month) so look forward to that in a bit. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #bbcbc

Got the last achievement I needed in Quake: Dawn of the Machine, and successfully beat the New Game+ campaign of it. I'm so cool

Now to stop playing anything Quake for a while and play *literally anything else*

I think there should be adult classes for learning things you wouldn't have for not having grown up as a girl.

New on the Secret Area: I hate AI vibe coded game projects.

Terrible machine translations! Barely functional recompilations! It's a hot mess, y'all.

Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

the downfall of Tommy Tallarico will never not be funny to me

was looking to get the recent UZDoom, and the second search result was this fake-ass SEO slop likely made with AI

I love the modern internet

Replaying Doom (2016) and was reminded of the SnapMap mode: scores of community Doom levels with a special set of mapmaking tools.

Hearkening back to the old days, yet only usable in the closed Bethesda ecosystem.

Honestly SnapMap deserves a deeper dive now that it's been a decade...
