Me: [wakes up]

Also Me: I could use a nap.

Boy (11) is asking about Call of Duty SP on his PS5. Initially I’m like NOPE, but is it really any worse than all the Die Hard movies that he’s seen?

Any UK folk have a need of these? I have no means to test them.

Android folks, if I select “Use for portable storage” will it format the SD card? Because it works fine and has a lot of stuff on it 😬

Do you run #Plex at home? Do you have its port open to the world so you can have remote access?

This holiday is going to be a hard sell, Jet2.

@baldur TBF a lot of us tech people cringe just as hard at the Sparkling Autocorrect hype machine.

@selzero I think Alien, when I was 10, and watched it late one stormy Halloween night when I was supposed to be asleep.

The storm kept the curtains moving all night, which was obviously because there was an Alien hiding behind them.

@HauntedOwlbear Cool. What book is this for?

@HauntedOwlbear Just saw this post in timew!

I released ROGUE DECLAN on Amiga in 2023, and it went on to win the AmiGameJam. I have since released a large update and I am currently working on further updates for the upcoming boxed releases in February. 2024 might see a MegaDrive port.

HMU if you need more information :)

Rogue Declan CD Edition updates :)

✅ CDTV compatibility
✅ CD32 CDDA Audio

Still haven't been able to confirm if the CD can be mastered with audio tracks, but it works in the emulator now. I'll see about testing on real hardware tomorrow.

Wii has been booted out to make room for the new PS5. Thon is a big lad.

The deeper you get in to making an isometric game on a 2D platform, the more you realise what a clever boy Jon Ritman is.

I can’t do the 8yo’s homework.

TFW when you realise you've backed up 2Tb of unnecessary data to the pay-per-gb cloud backup some time ago and your software (duplicacy) doesn't let you delete files easily 😱🤦🏻♂️
