Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on bsky.app (Bluesky) under the same username.

Just saw that someone on Twitch whose streams I'd pop into on occasion blocked me suddenly, even though I hadn't been back there in a couple months. WTF.

I suspect some people are still mad that I said in public that I disliked the secretive way the de facto DOSember boycott was handled.

📅 10 years ago today, Double Fine's remaster of LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle was released!

In my opinion, this remaster sets the gold standard for how a quality remaster should be executed.

💾 Day of the Tentacle Remastered was released on March 22, 2016!

I saw Macaw45 playing this Brazilian FMV side-scroller spaceship game with retro 1950s SF aesthetics, and it bowled me over. Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers looks absolutely amazing:

UFOs! Aliens! Aircrafts! Resistance! SHOOT 'EM UP! Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers is a spaceship shooter with 2D gameplay and 3D environment. Enjoy a smart combination of a fast-paced shooting experience and the 1950's sci-fi movies aesthetic, with live-action cutscenes.

Temple of the Three Rules is of course still in progress.
I don't want to spoiler too much, but I show you a new character.

This is, by my reckoning, the first "official" translation of an adventure game, possibly of any computer game.

The French version of Mystery House, original by Roberta Williams, translation by Tom Nalevanko.

I give a full history of how the translation happened.
