Rose Tinted Spectrum reviews a 1996 DOS game Animal, a point & click adventure based on a British meat byproduct snack:

Finished Jordan Mechner's graphic memoir "Replay". It was great. I'm interested in personal stories, memoirs of people who lived through WWII, and gamedev, so I was basically the target audience for it. 👍

Выйду на крышу
Смотрю на Аврору
И вспоминаю
Ту давнюю пору
Когда еще молод
С гранатой в руке
В предательской лодке
Я плыл по реке

@europlus You know what, you're right. The Terminator arrives during the previous night.

Chillin with the boys.

Happy Mother's Day to an L.A. waitress who went to work 40 years ago today, on May 12th 1984, not knowing that someone out there was looking for her.

Because routine is important, I'm declaring the inaugural #ShirtCheckSunday.

Here's the deal: every Sunday, I'm going to put on a nice tee/shirt and share it with that hashtag, and I'd love to see yours.

Band shirts are traditional, but I'm more than happy to see geek tees, or - get this - actual fashion sense.

You can just post a pic, or share a bit more about it. Faces not required, use the hashtag if you like, reply as you like, admire one another's outfits. 🖤

I'm wearing an Ancst short-sleeve today.

They make anti-fascist black metal, dark ambient, crust and blackened metalcore.

The shirt is further evidence that, if you're an RABM band that prints black-white-gold tees, I will buy them.

Trying to avoid eye contact with today's pic, which looks inadvertently dramatic.

@aaronsgiles Took a look at TCRF, and it didn't have a record for any unused scripts, so they might be brand new recreations.

@dHeinemann Yep. it is.

War Planets: Age of Chaos (Trendmasters, 1997) #DOSGaming

What I'm listening to today: "The River - 3 guitar ambient jam with drones and synths in the forest w/Sam Bell and Pete Ferguson"

The YouTube channel "drone-in-the-woods" is truth in naming. This is some gentle ambient post-rock and it is, indeed, performed live in the woods by three guitarists. I'm not usually one for "happy music" but I dig this. It's like if Godspeed You Black Emperor had worked their issues out and got real into Boards of Canada.

Ok, this is a crazy good remix of a 90s pop house classic

@ThreeOhFour @emmxyzzy Sludge was super easy to use. I made two very short games with it in 2003 or 2004.

@mickey96 For their palmtop, yes.
