I make music using old hardware and write about videogame history. I dabble with game development and making cool little web things. Was big on TikTok, apparently!

Siri, show me a text book cause for an issue that needs to be taken up between government and industry rather than fining individual customers.

I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of lead.

Didn't the Internet Explorer team basically involved locking everyone in a room, forcing them to have 2am table football torunaments? That process turned out a famously stable and feature-complete piece of software.

ANY WAY, just in case no one's mentioned it yet, the options a little hidden in the menu but you can request a refund for the stuff on your account if you don't want it. You can only return a limited amount, but at least that's something.

Good luck! Our eldest (teen) still only plays Roblox rather than videogames in general. She theoretically likes horror games, but 80% of the time is happier watching a lets play on YT. I don't know if the industry is building itself problems for tomorrow...

I've spent a significant chunk of professional time over the last 6 months working out the best ways of turning complex manuscripts into professional ebooks...so if you're sitting on a text that's full of tables and want to turn it into an epub i am available to make that happen.

You'd be surprised about how snappy a 10 year old Think Pad is when you pop Xubuntu on there.

Yeah, giving how everything he has is peeing money away I'd wager that quietly vanishing is the most likely outcome!

Corporate involvement in stuff rightfully gets a lot of bad press, but on this one occasion it looks like Fox was somehow fighting the good fight.

Gonna keep tooting my own horn for a second: This collection is a lot of fun for researchers to dig into. People are already finding info about unreleased games, the inner workings of the games business, and data points that are helping us put together new stories about Activision in the 90s

On the one hand, my train home is screwed and I'll be lucky if I'm just an hour late.

On the other, I have an excuse to go on the tram.

The ZS is a good pick then - over the Summer we went up to Manchester and back and across to France/Belgium (Was a bit worried taking an EV abroad but motorway charging was way cheaper. Was mildly disappointed to come home)

The MG ZS EV has a reasonable amount of boot space while still being small enough for everyone else to to be able to full-beam their headlights straight into your eye balls. Nice to drive as well.

It is a bit annoying how 90% of evs are either tiny city cars or giant space ships.

Much less likely to find a house with a shonky ill-fitting wooden back door/single glazed windows. Definitely, you'd need to be much better prepared to get into my house than you would my parents' place in the early 90s (where they just smashed te window and climbed in)
