I make games!
Happy June, in May I drew lots of pictures, made good soups, played old games, bought a second Fender Telecaster. You can see it next to the one I already had. It is much redder. I have only played two gigs with it so far but there will be many more. Have a great month!! 🥰
@vga256 I was mildly amused by the keyboard player here grabbing a 3.5” diskette off the stack sitting in front of him at around the 38 second mark of this song. I have to imagine he’s using it to change patches but can you imagine hauling a bunch of these around to gigs?! https://youtu.be/G5yhMMOpoHE?list=RDG5yhMMOpoHE&t=37

An update for anybody wondering whether I still hang out with spiders and play old games…

after a 4 year hiatus, i finally completed my podcast series on Another World. 🤯

if you're new to the podcast: Multimedia HyperGuide is my love letter to 1990s multimedia CD-ROM games, edutainment and productivity software. each episode is an hour-long dive into a specific game or application.

I’ve been having such a nice time with OpenLoco lately. I loved Chris Sawyer’s Locomotion back when it came out, and this is a very fine open source implementaiton of it. It’s still so satisfying to watch my charming little transport empire operating.
I am a minimalist. This giant stack of old games to play, this huge pile of books to read, this is the minimum I can imagine having. Without restraint I could easily have filled a house, completely, with the things that intrigue me.
