New blog post! I wrote about Journey to the Source, a CD-ROM travelogue that follows a team of people as they go 6,300 kilometres down the Yangtze to find its source. It's a *really* interesting disc, as much about the people who live all along that river and their lives as it is about making that discovery. So many things have changed there in the years since, so I loved getting an impression of daily life that's long gone.

A clip of a 1993 CES promo reel from that most magnificent of video game owls, Psygnosis.

Very cool to see Psygnosis here moving in all directions as the 32-bit era dawns, including their big ambitions for Scavenger-4 and hitting it big in Japan - later retooled into Novastorm.

Teach your young ones the value of honor and stabbing in one glorious toy!

We gotta stop calling games, movies, tv etc. "bad" and instead use words like "doesn't meet my needs." Cause lots of folks are losing their minds over entertainment.

People who complain about the different rules on different #fediverse servers never navigated the Internet when forums were the thing.

It was the norm to read the damn rules and lurk for a while to get your head around the culture of the place.

Yes, I'm old. Perhaps that's why fedi is majority #GenX. We've done this kind of thing before and it's not that big of a deal.

Dull brain: Form has two gender options, "Male" and "Female"

Active brain: Form has "Male, "Female", and "Other"

Glowing brain: Form has "He/him", "She/her", "They/them" and "Prefer not to to respond"

Exploding brain: All of the above, plus an option labeled only "Chaos Mode" which, when selected, causes every appearance of a pronoun referring to that user in the interface to be randomly selected at the use site

With the future on the line, there's only one course of action: Time to steal us some whales.

Do. This. Everywhere.
