Well here I am with my very first playthrough of Minetest, because I certainly didn't just die and lose all my gear from trying to tank a full sized African elephant naked. And I would never put the bed that I slept at in my inventory, making me instead spawn at a random location thousands of blocks away. And it's only those fools back at the Institution who think I forgot to set a home location that I could teleport back to. So instead this is my first ever playthrough of Minetest gee what an interesting game. I think I'll go walk a few thousand blocks over that way, where my bones were placed.
Picked up some early birthmas presents for meself.
Never played Puggsy back in my day, but I've been after him ever since I started following Jon Burton's YouTube channel. Go check him out if you love the old Traveller's Tales.
The history of these LOTR titles is wild and petty and I love it. Electronic Arse had the rights to adapt the Peter Jackson movies BUT Sierra still held the rights to adapt Tolkien's written works and beat EA to the punch with a Fellowship of the Ring game, technically based on the book, that just happened to coincide with the movie.
When Two Towers came out in cinemas, EA actually did do the official game of the film, leaving Sierra to follow up their version of Fellowship with a game based on The Hobbit, a decade before it would become a film!
Oh, and Bubsy 3D, one of the video games of all time. What a find. It was right next to Grandia.
A Playstation disc in a cracked jewel case on purple bedding. The game is Bubsy 3D (Eidetic, 1996) The fourth game in the Bubsy series published by Accolade, which is the only accolade this game has.
A clunky, ugly, borderline-unplayable mess thrown together by a team with no experience with 3D technology and rushed out in time to complete with vastly superior early 3D platformers of that year.
Bubsy himself appears on the cover. He is an orange cartoon bobcat with a lurid grin and big cutesy eyes, possibly pleading to be released from this nightmare. He wears a white shirt adorned with a red exclamation mark and no trousers.
Bubsy's career was one cat-astrophic failure after another, constantly chasing the gaming zeitgeist without really understanding what made it good.
More recently however, his abysmal reputation has become the core of a new self-aware and self-depricating version of the character in Bubsy 4D.
Today in #Valheim the crew was very busy.
@skyfire747 was working on the interior of his Lower Weston house, and
@si_fuller erected the new meeting hall, a massive build in the centre of Weston. The new hall is to be our main meeting place, and will be decorated to display our trophies and trinkets. #ShareYourGames
If you asked me a month ago if I had ever played the original #Zelda for #NES . I would have said I played it but never beat it.
I am quite proud of myself. Having now played through it several times, I have done about 8 completions of the game in the last couple of weeks.
In the picture is the list of save files on the GameCube collector's edition.
Lonk was my Swordless run file.
Lenk was a run I did that capped at 8 hearts, blue ring, and white sword.
And Lank was a full deathless/Warpless run
All three files cleared both Quests
A screenshot from Zelda Collector's Edition for GameCube. It shows the file select for Zelda 1. There are three files, all of them show they will start in Quest 2, as the Link icon for the file is holding a sword.
The number underneath the file name shows the total number of deaths on that file.
Sometimes driving Laika's motorcycle is a smooth and fun process. Other times the game physics snaps like a rubber band, and staying upright is suddenly difficult. 😅
A video game inventory screen displaying an item description for a Coffee Pot, a Trinket-type item. The pop-up states that it "Can be found in Residential", and displays its weight and value. The screen shows the player's Stash, Equipment, Backpack and Quick Use slots.
I was cleaning up today and sent my NES crashing to the floor. I know they're sturdy and all, but it's 40 years old, and I was worried. I quickly set up the TV in the office and played through "The Great Gatsby" (it only takes 10 minutes, sadly) to make sure everything was still working properly.
Usually the Nintendo is set up outside; this may be the first time the cat has ever seen it running. He was perplexed.
- on the left, a CRT television displaying Stage 3-1 of "The Great Gatsby" for the Nintendo Entertainment System; the television is placed in the middle of a couch, in a room with a beige carpeted floor
- on the right, a black-and-tan banded shorthair housecat staring with full attention at the television screen; its ears are sticking straight up, and its posture shows a mixture of curiosity and trepidation at something new
I joined a friend in Stardew Valley for my first multiplayer experience in this game. And since it doesn't pause in multiplayer mode, this cozy game suddenly becomes super stressful 😅. But anyway, it's crazy fun with two players.
A vibrant farming scene featuring two characters standing in front of a wooden house with a red roof. Nearby, there are crops in neatly arranged beds, potted plants, and various garden items.
🕶️ A view of its UI, with most of the screen showing a bird's-eye view of an industrial zone with a river running through it, upper left showing control buttons, lower right a mini-map, and lower left the buttons of a video recorder.
📚️ LinCity-NG is an improvement on Lincity, and a libre, multi-platform socio-economic simulation inspired by Simcity, whose objective is to create and develop a city. The player is the mayor of a city, and leads its expansion within budgetary, population growth, pollution and transportation constraints. He takes into account ecology, goods (availability and production), raw materials (ore, steel, coal), energy (electricity, coal with finite resources, solar and wind energy), water, services (education, health, fire-fighting, leisure). The ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable economy, or to evacuate its citizens by spaceship.

@BobDendry, but we have a couple of other contributors lined up and are keen to welcome more.
🕶️ A bird's-eye view of the map, cut into hexagons where a faction of Space Marines (at the bottom of the screen) is about to confront a non-human faction (Orks?).
📚️ Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War is a single-player / multi-player 4X turn-based strategy game in the universe of Warhammer 40,000, and in a procedurally generated world. The basic game includes 4 playable factions (Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks and Necrons) with specific mechanics, technology trees and quests. Gladius Prime was originally a planet of archaeological interest. During its colonization, ancient relics were discovered, and something woke up, an unspeakable horror of an ancient past...
I take back what I said. A hacked #3DS is awesome. Just as awesome as a hacked Vita, maybe even better! 🤯
Nintendo shut down online services and here I am in 2025 playing a Mario Kart 7 mod online against up to 7 other players...and mostly getting my ass kicked.
It only takes a few seconds to join a game and there are tons of people online.
Thanks to everybody who made this possible, in particular
@pretendo and #CTGP7. You are amazing!!!
🕶️ A view (in 2.5D) of its UI on the 1st training level (on my PC): the protagonist (me) is approaching a glass room where we can discern a ghost (transparent with red eyes, to the left of the central room). At the bottom of the UI, right and left, instruments in the protagonist's right and left hands, taken from his inventory and activated. The rooms are guarded by men in uniform, who also act as guides, providing help when you stay in contact with them for a while.
📚️ Unhaunter: Dare to Face the Unseen is a libre, multi-platform ghost-hunting game that seamlessly blends exploration, puzzle-solving and strategic investigation. The player is a paranormal investigator armed with state-of-the-art equipment, tasked with identifying and expelling restless spirits from haunted locations. To do this, he equips himself with instruments to identify the entities and explores the premises in search of them. The clues gathered (reaction to the instruments, visual & sound manifestations) will be used to identify the entity and concoct a repellent. Beware, however, of its deadly frightening reactions.
