You've just ordered Pizza Hut and a 2L Mountain Dew. You've loaded up Resident Evil on your PC. No school tomorrow. Your parents don't care if you stay up all night long. A perfect Summer night. You are 42 years old. The year is 2026.

That was the last good generation of gaming before SaaS/MTX really took hold. I know most of those titles mentioned above were non-exclusive, multi-platform releases but the 360 was where I was playing 'em. Loved that machine, man πŸ’š

He's probably not wrong. Makes me sad as 360 is up there with PS1 as a contender for my favourite system of all time:

Gears, CoD:MW, Arkham, Mass Effect, BioShock, Dead Space, SF4, RDR, GTAV, Fallout 3/NV, Skyrim, Bayo, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising, Far Cry 3

Did some good gaming on that thing πŸ₯²

Watched Stargate (1994) and this mf is 100% the ref for Otacon in MGS:
βœ… Same haircut and glasses
βœ… Partnered with a spec ops military guy played by Kurt Russell (who played Snake Plissken,known inspiration for Solid Snake)
βœ… Named "Hal Emmerich" same surname as Roland Emmerich, director of Stargate

I hate jokes about saggy ballsacks; just feels like low hanging fruit.

A monk wearing a red and blue dress, her resolute gaze fixed on us. She is holding a giant spinning top with her left hand, a mystical parchment coiled around the grip. She's pulling the rope tied to the parchment with her right hand, uncoiling the scroll, and thus starting off the spinning of this ancient weapon.

Hey, it's been a while! I've been focusing on my character art render for the last few months; here's a Spinning Top Monk I have been working on for some time.

GrΓ©goire was the environment concept artist on our beloved Rollerdrome (and other incredible unreleased projects at Roll7). Now he's dipping his toe into characters with phenomenal results!

Give him a follow! @graeg.bsky.social

Attend "silver screening" (discounts for OAPs) of Conclave. Hear "windchime" 10 mins in, assume it's part of the film. Chime loops. It's a phone alarm! OAPs can't hear it. I can. Can't focus. Can't ask around or it's ME being disruptive. Frustrated. Leave. Still haven't seen Conclave.

Quick screenshot of LUGE 2026 showing me racing some ghosts. It's a vector based arcade game, clean white lines denoting the circuit and a red lozenge racer travelling at speed, and about to crash into a wall because I'm taking a screenshot.

Apparently taking that screenshot was too much for my Mac btw, because the screenshot area is still highlighted despite the screenshot moment having passed long ago and I'm gonna have to reset. I want to say it was worth it. I want to believe it was worth it.

It's my birthday, or was until 20 minutes ago, so there's a new version of LUGE 2026 up:

* Quick restart once you're done with the Daily (cc: @dreofthedead.bsky.social)
* New "ALL MY GHOSTS" feature (in settings) which is cool

Ah yeah I can see how those two things are in tension with one another. If i understand it correctly, the "Daily" leaderboard is the best of your first 3 attempts? Would it work to simply not unlock the restart key until after that time/score is locked-in?

So, Hot Lap eh... πŸ‘€

I'm an absolute sucker for stuff like this (FlexPiece on today's leaderboard)

Any chance you might introduce a restart button? Once you get into it you know when a run is off to a bad start very quickly.
