Finally got round to watching this. I love that with every interview new things come out about the production. Such a nice, humble team.

Yeah, I found it difficult to articulate too. It was such a personal project - from the player's perspective and the devs.

I agree with this too. Though I absolutely loved Thimbleweed Park. But they are two different beasts really.

This was a nice re-read. I'd forgotten all these thoughts and feelings. I'm a precious flower.

Scene from the video game Return to Monkey Island, showing Guybrush sitting on a bench with his son

Happy anniversary, Return to Monkey Island (2022) 🥳 I was on holiday when it was released so I played it on the Steamdeck in a hot tub which was different.

I loved it. The ending was beautifully melancholic, relatable, and will stay with me for a long time.

Starting screen for the video game Unavowed

Hello gaming, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound... of Unavowed.

Can anyone recommend a good retrogaming/adventure games/old games feed that isn't 90% Sonic or Nintendo posts?

Something that pulls in LucasArts, Sierra, that sort of thing.

TIA!

I'm on Tumblr now, by the way (piecesofkatecreates). Haven't got the hecky peck how to use it but feel free to follow me.

I should warn you that I'm using it pretty much exclusively for X-Files / fanfiction. Once I figure out what I'm doing.
