Yup, you can play the ‘post steam’ version via steam or free download and get the ASCII characters, however you are still forced to use the mouse to play it, which doesn’t work for me, so I stick with the old 47 release and just play that forever I guess!

Excellent, we will watch your career with great interest! ;)

I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)

I’ll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?

I’m not the OP but I like how you are thinking. Might look into this idea myself.

True, true it is just a deposit, but it certainly helps. Compared to England where I lived until I was 38 there are far fewer bottles littering the streets here in Denmark, although a lot of that can be put down to general public attitude probably. Never had a bottle stab me! Sounds like a case of bad quality control.

Oh wait… PANT & pants… So was being a bit slow! 😂

Normally one or the other is enough. Wearing both is 'more than needed" but does work as a safety net. :)

Maybe they make them better here in Denmark. Plus we have “Pant” where you pay more for the bottles but get money back when you return them so it’s a “belt and braces” approach I guess!

Perhaps becuase you’ve only opened it half way, you need to lift it back over again and clip in under the rim.

Just started a run through of The Isle Tide Hotel on Steam, enjoyed the demo a while back and I’m a sucker for a bit of FMV.

I guess I always have it my head I’m the object I’m controlling rather than the camera following, so my brain defaults to more direct control? I do tend to favour “in-cockpit” / first person view.

Standard unless there’s and flying involved, either in atmosphere or space, then I invert Y. Can’t imagine ever inverting X, that just blows my kind. Been playing since before WASD was a thing, so I’ve seen most implementations I guess.

“Manure, I hate manure!”

Maybe clean-up after the Enchantment Under the Sea dance?

I had the same issue with NVMe, but you can get 4x PCI-E cards to install them on. Wouldn’t work as a boot drive but it’s great for a games installation space. Just check installing another card doesn’t drop your GFX from the 16x. My old ASUS Gene V had two 16x style slots and an extra 4x so I could manage to add one card without dropping the GFX to 8x.

My XBOX has the internal 1TB then 4TB of USB3 storage for 360/XBOX One games (or Series games I’m not currently playing). Main PC is 500GB SSD Raid 0 System drive, 1TB NVMe data drive and a 6TB HDD Storage Space. Then my NAS has 20TB (RAID 5) of space for everything else. (Including a full set of install files of any games I bought via GoG since you can keep their DRM free install files just in case GoG suddenly disappear)

Podcast wise: Rebel FM, though after all these years it’s more just to catch up with them than the actual talking points, but always enjoyable.

For deep dives into specific games Cane & Rinse (full disclosure I have met and consider friends some of the guys involved).

For Indie Games, The Sausage Factory by Chris O’Regan, which these days is hosted by Cane And Rinse is a great way to hear directly from the game devs themselves.
