I just picked up a boxed copy of one of my favorite childhood games: The Seven Cities of Gold (1984), created by the legendary Danielle Bunten Berry. I love the album-inspired cardboard sleeve packaging EA used in the mid-'80s. This copy even includes the original warranty card!

My to-do list today: ✅ turn the party out

I was digging through the assets for Leisure Suit Larry 3, and it’s giving I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.

In the field of political science, we use the scholarly term "shit's popping off" to describe what's happening today.

Men are too emotional to use social media

Aw, dang...Walmart messed up my preorder.

See, normally if you go to a Renaissance faire, you got a 50/50 chance of being told your costume isn't family friendly. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So I got a 25% chance, AT BEST, of getting in!

The Ghostbusters' tagline hit different when it's written in second person. Who are YOU to tell ME what makes me feel good? And so what if it's bustin'?

Off-model Gabriel Knight and Grace Nakimura! 🙃

Who needs a Switch 2 when you could own a Swatch Twin Phone instead?

My recent playthrough of Loom just went up on YouTube. It was my first time actually playing this one, and wow...what a marvelous little game. youtu.be/nil3A8D-Xsk

I'm live right now with L.A. Law: The Computer Game! This one should be a real winner... twitch.tv/decafjedi

It's Retro Adventure Wednesday, and I'm playing L.A. Law: The Computer Game. Yes, this actually exists, and it's kind of a janky Ace Attorney-style legal sim. I've never seen L.A. Law, so rest assured I'm coming into this playthrough totally UNBIASED! ⚖️ Join me at 9:30 p.m. ET! twitch.tv/decafjedi

For my daughter's birthday in a couple of weeks.

I got that summertime, summertime sadness.

I believe small teams will soon be able to use AI prompts to invent better dolphins.

It's EGA Loom time. Indeed, it is my turn to discover this masterpiece, after only playing the VGA version years ago. 21.30 PM tonight, let's go (warmup with some random terrible old games too): www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...
