Has anybody found out what happened to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's birthday cake? It's probably been untouched for days now, but I'm sure it would still be edible. I am prepared to give the cake a good home if they can courier it today to a London address.
PM me, Andy.ππ

I miss the blogspot music days. You would be like hey guys I just found a new blogspot and itβs full of these obscure Hungarian prog albums you can download and then all your friends would be like βshut up,β and βfuck youβ
Oh my god. I thought I was the only one! Those sites allowed me to fall down a rabbit hole I'm still sitting in. And also the reason that about 50% of my enormous music collection are bands that nobody else has heard of
I picked up a new adventure game the other day but I haven't had chance to start it yet. I'll let you know how I get on with it (eventually)

The most obvious and visually striking indication of the changes the game went through, for me, is the box art itself (credit to @laserschwert.bsky.social for these hi-res images)

Don't believe the reputation! It's such an ambitious game (although the moustache puzzle is real and obviously regretable π )

I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?

Written and directed by award-winning journalist, historian, and documentary filmmaker Richard Moss (TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming, The Secret History of Mac Gaming, A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games), Passport to Adventure will peer behind the troop of three-headed monkeys and into the world's largest ball of twine to discover the inner workings of both the games and the engine that revolutionized a genre and ushered in a golden age of point-and-click adventures.
Guided by interviews with key figures from the LucasArts SCUMM era, the film will be a joyful and in-depth retrospective journey through the travails of SCUMM development, the litany of influences and Easter eggs, the magnificent art, and the best (and worst) moments of the entire lineup of games made with the SCUMM engine β including the first three Monkey Islands, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Maniac Mansion, Loom, and many more. We'll have more to share about our plans for the documentary in early 2026. Follow us on social media and join our waitlist at scummdoc.com to stay up to date.
Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story is a new documentary exploring the games, the creators, and the engine behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max, Loom, and more.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right

1981
Also a year in which great punk rock, post-punk, hardcore punk, goth punk, and ska music was released.
It's almost impossible to pick a favorite, but Minor Threat EP...π
