Finally giving into the inevitable macOS Tahoe install.

I remember in the old days, when a new OS release was something to look forward to, rather than regret.

We're launching a website.

Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers.

jank.cool

If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

An abstract Christmas tree made from a limited graphical character set. The tree is primarily in black against a bright red background, with some bright characters at the edge, where the lights would usually be.

Jingles and all that shit.

Just found my old collection of return tickets. They took me back.

Or taller. 🤔

Bunch long-legged oldies. Messing around up there in the tree branches.

An image of Peter Finch as the newscaster Howard Beale in the 1976 film Network. It depicts a man in his late middle age standing in front of multiple clocks with his hands in the air, shouting in frustration.

You can now unlock the full version of Retrospecs for £1.99/€1.99/$1.99

In addition to the full suite of system and mode presets, the full version contains custom emulation, font and palette editors as well as additional features such as the emulation mutator.

A Salt and Pepper (Black & white) Mini Schnauzer pup sitting on a patch of grass, staring at the camera. It’s rendered as it would appear on the PICO-8 virtual console, and hence is low resolution, and heavily dithered.

Who dis?

(PICO-8 (Secret palette), Bayer 8x8 dithering.)

Stage Clear: September 2025 Here — landing a day late, as usual — is the rundown of the far-too-many projects I've been cooking over…

Podcasts! Projects! Games played! Cryptic allusions that something bad has happened!

The September update post is up: savestate.site/stage-clear-se...

PLEASE sign & RT this like crazy.

The right to make decisions about your own body is such a fundamental one most of us take it for granted. Trans rights really are human rights.

Imagine how difficult it would be if you had two colleagues, one called Ian and one called Iain, but Iain only had one eye.

Get it while it’s cheap…

Know the feeling - I was outraged when I found out the chap in that Arthur Miller play could hear perfectly well.

🤔

Wrath seems a bit much, but the grapes are certainly disappointing.

Incidentally, it’s Retrospecs 11th birthday on the 13th of June.

Based on what’s happened in previous years, I’d say it’s likely that there’ll be a special price to unlock the full version.

Total speculation, you understand. 🤔

A confidential folder on a desk with the name 'BOND JAMES' on it.

Embarrassing blunder in the trailer for that new 007 game. His name is actually 'James Bond'.

Christ. 😬

They really went in heavy on the "monotone liminal space" vibe.

Like butter.

I’d just like to state for the record that I’ve never waxed Gibbous and that any statements to the contrary are false.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Hmm… the text in the top right certainly looks a little more jaunty than I'd expect, but who knows. 🤔

Quirkafleeg?

Probably me, but a lot of these so called “moving boxes” just leave me cold.

Beautiful work. No notes. 💯

The first rule of Norman Collier club is ou alk ut orm er club.

Oh my goodness, this.

That would be my utopia. Wanna learn the attack patterns by dying against this enemy 17 times, only to discover it was a two-stage fight?

OR you could solve these environmental puzzles to make a piano fall on his head.

When I'm King Pope, that's going to be law.
