JUMP LEADS SEASON 2 OUT NOW! Writer, podcaster, comedian, former world-record speedrunner, u̶n̶o̶f̶f̶i̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ Worms historian. Jump Leads, Good Chaotic, The Game of Rassilon. Non-binary, they/them.

Just your periodic reminder that nothing I ever write or make will knowingly be touched by AI. If you ever catch a sound effect or piece of music in Jump Leads that has AI in it that I've missed, let me know so I can swap that shit out immediately.

I was about to post asking for help because my Windows 11 install has been stuck on 23H2 and won't acknowledge any updates since then, which has been a bugger because Adobe started complaining about it, but I just got the notification that it's FINALLY downloading 25H2. I hate Microsoft.

Wow, the "Share this page" tab on the official Red Dwarf website really is a blast from the past.

If you're going to do a faithful GBC port of one of the most overrated arcade games of all time, you may as well do it well. @digitaleclipse.bsky.social absolutely nailed it on this one. But then, they usually do.

An impossible port: Dragon's Lair for Game Boy Colour (2001) Digital Eclipse and lead programmer Cathryn Mataga opted to bring the original QTE-based arcade experience of Dragon's Lair to the humble handheld, pulling it off spectacularly with programming wizardry and a larger cart size.

Today in Unanswerable Questions I Didn't Know I Needed an Anwer To: Would Rincewind and Taako have gotten along? (The answer, I suspect, is No. But I would love to know how that would have gone down.)

I've been looking forward to this for a while now. Excited to hear that pilot !

Why do so many AI tech bros look like they write articles complaining about screen accuracy in comic book movies for Ain't It Cool News?

I just got served an ad on Instagram for Queen's Greatest Hits. This is silly for a number of reasons, chief among them being it's one of the albums I have listened to consistently since probably before I was born. But also, it came out before I was born.

Caught up again. Less than two months left to go on this thread! So close to the end now.

Taking a leaf from @kyleor.land, who has been posting about a game a day since January 1st. I'm a little late to start, but hey. Let's see if I can keep this thing going. So, yeah. Big thread, a game a day for 365 days, what it means to me. Let's go! 🧵

Almost 30 years ago, Microsoft execs flew to Japan with the intention of buying Nintendo. They were laughed out of the room. Maybe more companies should have done that.

My hot take: There's no such thing as "common sense". I don't mean that in a boomery "No one knows how to think anymore" way, but in the sense that what's obvious to you may not necessarily be obvious to someone else, and getting angry with people for having a different knowledge set is daft.

I had a lot of fun working on this. I love playing tabletop RPGs and would love to do more of this sort of thing. Hint hint hint hint hint.

We played Dungeons & Dragons today in front of a live audience at #SDCC. Then we released the trailer for our new actual play, dropping in October. What a day. youtu.be/GhLfoV210i8?...

Universal CityWalk has gates EVERYWHERE now. It feels incredibly uninviting. Wow.

I think I want to go to SDCC next year. I don't think I want to exhibit, and I sure as shit don't want to do all 5 days, but it'd be nice to get out there and see people I haven't seen in a few years.

The first Cannon Fodder game was a huge multiplatform release, with a later port for the Game Boy Colo. The second one was just for PC and Amiga. And there it ended. Wild.
