Recruitment at the University of Southampton

I dreamt I was playing an #MSX game which reminded me a lot of the #Hitman series.
Visually it alternated between a isometric perspective like in the Batman game, or #LaAbadíaDelCrimen, with graphics that made me think it was a typical #ZXSpectrum port (though ran a lot smoother than those usually do...).
Bright red, yellow and blue colours used, with red being the most prominent.
You even had two coins you could throw to distract guards. They were supposed to be Polish #złoty, though I noted in the #dream they were incorrectly indicated as #Euro. The coins were dark red and obviously spun around a lot.

One of the levels was supposed to have a hidden ending where you found a #cryostasis unit and had to find a way to thaw and revive those inside. It would turn out they were aliens.

That specific episode was set in the ' #Roswell year', which in the dream I thought was 1943, but I was corrected by another dream character as it having happened in 1946. A quick look on Wikipedia shows both my dream thoughts were wrong, as the #RoswellIncident was in July of #1947.

I was trying to plan the game in my #ParentalHome, with various other people also bringing in their MSX machines, including my late #father. A missed #realityCheck opportunity...

Now I kinda wish such a game existed for the MSX :p

Decided to explore #Corel #Painter2019 by trying to draw a familiar sight from my childhood: the #bridge over #ZijkanaalC, #BrugBuitenhuis, near my #parentalHome in the #Netherlands.

It's been a long time since I last touched any version of #CorelPainter. The last time it was probably still called #KaiPainter 😏

Still getting the hang of the #perspectiveGuides, but for 30-45 minutes of drawing with #BeardGrabber on and off my lap, I'm satisfied with it.

It's one of those things you take for granted, but which can give you a sense of #nostalgia after not having been there for several years.
