OG founder of CPU magazine and I’m a married dad of two and worked @Microsoft—my tweets didn’t. Bluesky:

My GDC talk from 2024 is finally free to view! I put more effort into this presentation than any other I've ever done (and even missed some of the conference to keep working on it)! https://t.co/paET8UBjWN

@g_knucklehead Why so obsessed that you’d post a doctored photo to spread misinformation? Her strategy for media attention clearly working on you lot. (And me since I’m wasting time posting into this thread heavy on hate-filled diatribe. Also had no idea JLo was worthy of so much talk!)

[Gareth Reynolds @reynoldsgareth]

Not kidding I lost 10k followers after this tweet. Not joking.

Bet you can’t even config.sys

Awesome! When it’s ready, I need a way my kids can play on it.

How did I never realize that Joanna Lumley played The English Girl in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?!” #007

With Diana Rigg that’s the connection point from TV’s “The Avengers” (Peel) to “The New Avengers” (Purdey).

The Star Wars Carbon-Freezing Chamber Ornament from Hallmark is both ridiculous and amazing. Wait for it. This is an ORNAMENT.

C64 Greatest Hits
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 🪐

One of the best works of Interactive Fiction ever made, based on the novel by Douglas Adams.

Very playable with a few brain-bending sections, such as the infamous "Babel Fish" puzzle.

@TheMekon_Venus Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Vaguely remember from my parents watching re-runs.

[TheChowdery @TheChowdery]

This avalanche drone footage is spectacular and rather terrifying. Looks very wet to boot. https://t.co/TaRupdOvvc

40 years ago, licensing a game could be a mess - as evidenced in this shambolic Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy deal. An informal letter of permission gets sold to another company as an official license - conflicting with the actual official film/game license bought by another.

[TheChowdery @TheChowdery]

@mrsambarlow @garywhitta Ha! I was so chuffed about the release this game.

(Coincidentally, I’m reading the Chris Blackwell autobiography and was intrigued by the bit about Trevor Horn and FGTH.)

[TheChowdery @TheChowdery]

I binge-watched “Andor” last year. There was a scene with Luthen that was memorable. It was brought back to my attention today by @ChrisJTrumble and now I’ve re-watched that scene 3X times already.

My introduction to Bruce Springsteen came courtesy of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s cover of Born to Run. Sounds bizarre when I think of it.
