"Please help, they have my family and are making me pose for this weird astrology game!" 🤣

I'm hoping I can afford to redo my basement next year that will become my own little retro sanctuary/workshop/office that I can also use in Canadian winters. 🙂

What a beautiful place! You did an incredible job. I love my small town but I'm in a newer bungalow townhouse with a tiny back yard that's all deck. 🙂 One day...

Nope, not jealous at all. Nope, absolutely not.

Really nice spot!

Seriously guys, if we just flip the image around no one will ever notice!

Interested in the wild 1980s UK computer games scene?

A long-lost BBC documentary on the 1984 Christmas release season has been posted on their archive YouTube channel.

This shows the real-time downfall of Imagine Software and the rise of Ocean. Fascinating watch!

Yet another reason why @gog.com is the GOAT! They've added an almost Steam Workshop-like system to one-click install mods for a variety of classic titles. All vetted and tested by their team and in partnership with the mod authors.

This is brilliant! Well done!

Frutiger Aero Archive A website dedicated to the Frutiger Aero design aesthetic, featuring 1300+ downloadable wallpapers, a music player, videos, icons, history, and more.

Do you long for Aero aesthetics sometimes? I mean, most of us still have nightmares about Windows Vista, but that bubbly, rounded, partially transparent UI was a vibe, yaknow'?

Someone has made an archive of the Fruitiger subgenre. Apparently Aero has subgenres! Get lost in these vibes!

I'll take "So Much to Unpack Here" for $500 Alex.

This is super cool! Hans is a machine. 💪

I'm a big fan of these "album cover" style boxes (more packages really), but you don't often see ones that aren't from EA or sometimes Activision. This is a non-English European title that looks awesome!

Ooooooh, new album style box I haven't seen before!

Today is the 25th anniversary of Starlancer!
Raise your hand if you played it.🙋
Notice the text at the bottom of the box cover.

Oh yeah, no way Romero doesn't LOVE this!

Something you didn't know you needed until this morning.

I feel like Bobby Prince would nod approvingly at this.

Four video games from my childhood that defined my taste in gaming.

Star Control II
Wing Commander
Master of Orion II
Space Quest

Well, would you look at this!

Consider me quite intrigued.

These boxes just grabbed your eyeballs at a distance. So much going on, yet it all comes together so well.

The X games are hardcore, but some of the best space sims out there, if you're willing to wait a good while for patches after each release.

🧵2/2 Here are some examples of my work. I will 100% work with you and make any changes you want. I want to have it autographed by the team. I am working with someone who makes acrylic cases, so these would last forever.
I'm asking for no money, and I'll donate all the materials and work to the cause

🧵1/2 Hey #IndieDevs! I’m organizing a charity auction for St. Jude’s and want to create physical editions of indie games. I’d love to collaborate! I am looking for auction houses that donate directly to charities. Interested? Let’s chat! I want to make this happen this Summer #IndieDevsforCharity

Randall has quickly become a staple of our community, both for being a great dude and also for the exceptional work he does. This is among the best of it! Well done man!

If you can get yourself a copy of this, it's an incredible read about one of the most talented box designers in video games!

We didn't get to hang out as much as I wanted cause we were both going non-stop this weekend, but I hope to soon! Was really nice to meet him and his girlfriend. They're super nice as expected. :)

Hey look, it's our awesome site creator and your humble Bluesky dude (@pxa.ca) at #TorontoGameExpo!

Getting the chance to contribute to this awesome preservation project and post goofy stuff on here has been a blast and I hope to do so for a while yet.

Pleasure meeting you my dude!

Jon St. John also remembers @apogeeent.com's Balls of Steel and still plays it on an old PC! Blew his mind when I showed him my big box. It is now signed by him and Joel Finch of Wildfire Studios.

This is now the crown jewel in my collection. Wholly unique in the world. ♥️

I met Jon St. John at #TorontoGameExpo! He is absolutely as nice and sweet as everyone says he is.
