This was an insta-buy book bundle for me. Autonomous and The City in the Middle of the Night are favs of mine. Best of all they didn’t require me to jump through any de-DRMing hoops. I just downloaded a bunch of epubs to my reader app.

Yeah, I love it. Is this your first time playing it?

the SNES is interesting in that it's (IIRC) a port of the Macintosh version, which is an all new level set instead of the original episodes in the DOS version and the extra weapons that added. Plus the censorship that Nintendo required on top of that. I think the late great Becky Heineman did it?

I'm also a fan of the Little Nemo game even if it's a bit odd. That Wolf 3D port is a real weird one too if you haven't seen it before

oh wow, yeah, that's a lucky one to find. Somehow my dad found it during the 90s and I assume there's no way I could casually come across that one anytime this century.

I agree

Before Next Fest ends, let’s yap about Burden Street Station, The Mermaid Mask and Esoteric Ebb!

Email from Detroit PBS saying I have early access to The Count of Monte Cristo

Sorry Valve, this is the only Early Access I care about

Same deal with NPR. The funding cut sucks but I still listen to my local Detroit NPR station all the time for their music shows

Folks, the government didn't kill PBS. It's still here even after funding has been cut. You can donate $5 or more and get access to a ton of their stuff on streaming too, including lots of local shows. It's a good deal.

text saying "Los Angeles, 2015" and a robot is flying over a destroyed city

It really sucked when this was happening in 2015

Yeah, I also think it reminds people that your site has RSS

The Bethesda FPS has been unavailable for decades now so I feel very comfortable saying you can just get it updated to run on modern versions of Windows on The Collection Chamber

I like his work but yeahhhhh, really frustrating. I know Mike is conservative but afaik he doesn’t have social media and I don’t think he brings it up in anything so I just kinda forget about it

It's The Terminator: Future Shock month in the DOS Game Club. Come join the forum and talk about this FPS from 1995!

US-Israel war on Iran Death toll from Iran school bombing reportedly rises to almost 150 Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media

Intoletable. How anyone's response to this can be anything other than abject rage and disgust is beyond me.

The Explorateur: Issue #17 Monthly design jams, critique, theory, and inspiration for tabletop rpg designers by rpg designers. Vetted. Looted. Curated.

A short and very busy month on the road means this month's Explorateur is light. I mean, it's still a mace to face with design links, but it's not the usual two-hander.

I'm doing this new thing with the intro where I share three design/creative/craft ideas.

I know there's far less copies sold on there but I do appreciate that you put your games on Itch so I can pay less Gabes.

A roundup of various website and blog posts I liked this week on my blog. The internet is good, sometimes.

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community

probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something
