I want my string beans to be quarantined.

Replaying QfG is never a bad idea. I'll assume at 500 games you have played Quest for Infamy and Order of the Thorne by @infamousquests.bsky.social and A Golden Wake by @grundislav.games but if you haven't there is no time like the present!

Oh there’s also this fun 5.25” floppy organizer

Well folks, I am here to update you… I have currently been in the hospital all weekend as I have lost the use of my legs. My condition has been slowly deteriorating for the last six months and I came home from Dialysis on Friday unable to get up or walk. They had spinal surgeon examine me with MRI

Damn, Steve, the hits just keep on coming. Do you have a GoFundMe set up to raise money for your mobility wheelchair?

all the AI companies are talking about "AGI" being the next big thing, but Sierra On-Line figured out AGI back in 1984

Cover of Game Informer magazine. The top right headline says “An Adventure Game Renaissance?”

From the article: “Generally, modern point-and-clicks have moved away from the absurd puzzles that stumped players in the '90s. Francisco Gonzalez, who made 2025's point-and-click Western, Rosewater, sees puzzle-focused design as "more conducive to comedy adventures." Puzzles seem like a stranger fit in more serious games, so Rosewater focuses on exploring branching paths instead. There are often multiple solutions to puzzles, and the story changes in response to your choices.”

This month’s issue of @gameinformer.com features a big article about adventure games! It was an honor to be included :)

I KNEW it.

Air gap it and run it till it dies.

THIS is the tool I want. I don't need advanced features, and I sure as hell don't want AI 'features'.

Yeah same. Irritated they added AI tools to notepad and broke it. No one who uses Notepad wants more features.

Interesting. I've not tried that.

What are you making this chart with? Excel or something more suited to the task.

Telling my kids this is Minerva Mayflower

Anything by Aerial Knight is worth a look, and this one raises the bar.

Gotcha. I have had games I loved (Dungeon Keeper) with sequels that just didn't work for me (Dungeon Keeper 2). Always disappointing.

Did you play it? If so curious why. Sometimes I try a game I don't think I'll like and it usually just confirms I don't like it.

it's not easy breeding deer for gigantism, but that's why I make the big bucks

It's that Sir Austen Chamberlain curse about living in interesting times. I have not found an'fix' that works reliably.

This is the one I NEVER understood. I've never heard a single reason for the conspiracy.

Best EGA bucket ever!

Looks like he is getting pulled into a portal. Great shot.

Sadly it would only be available as a subscription service.

They should invent a good night's sleep.

It might have been further but down a different path. Better? Worse? We can't know (for sure) the results of choices not made.

Catalina de Erauso and 17th century Spanish America.

Congrats! I hope it exceeds your expectations.

When you have finished Lamplight City, don't forget to move on to A Golden Wake. Underrated gem set in Miami.

Maybe make that a text adventure so it doubles as a reading test?
