TRAINS CANCELLED, REPLACEMENT TRAIN DELAYED. CONNECTING TRAIN DELAYED. 2.5 HOUR JOURNEY BECAME 6 HOURS, BUT WE MADE IT NORWICH! APOLOGIES AGAIN AND THANK YOU FOR BEING A FANTASTIC CROWD!
It will be made! Scuppered for you or me?
A third of the way through the Anachronox demo, the player encounters a hulking alien merchant. “My sorrow runs deep,” the merchant, whose name is Demonstrare, says. “I will only exist for the short duration of this demo. I do not exist in the full version. “Write the company. Tell them that you want me in the full version.” What Demonstrare, even with his curse of self-awareness, did not anticipate was that if anyone did ask Ion Storm to bring him over to “the full version,” it wouldn’t have mattered. The demo shipped on a disc stuck to the cover of a PC Gamer — where it shared space with now-forgotten
titles like Throne of Darkness and The Corporate Machine — four months after Anachronox itself had been released, and three months after Ion Storm’s parent company had shut down the studio. Demonstrare never made it to Anachronox. And while twenty-five years later the game can run on modern hardware, the demo does not. Demonstrare is gone. Recently, I asked Richard Gaubert, the writer of Anachronox, if the developers ever heard anything about Demonstrare. Gaubert didn’t even remember the character.
Here is a little bit of @duncanfyfe.net's afterword for "How Can We Bear to Throw Anything Away?"
Is this an artefact of the law failing to catch up with the Asperger’s name change of 2013?
Interesting too that the talk of subtypes is not in order to better help or prioritise, eg like level of support needed does, but rather to de-diagnose for the purposes of legal funding criteria etc. The law/council funding tail is wagging the medical dog!
An illustrative piece in that it says the quiet part out loud: When you ask *who* is "wrongly" included in the autism spectrum, the response is almost always "women".
In other fields, this phenomenon of women being immediately dismissed, overlooked and underdiagnosed is called medical misogyny.
Norwich, Dublin, Belfast this week!
Thank you Brighton! Exeter tonight!
Tour starts today! Extra dates incoming!
My friend @pierrenovellie.bsky.social did an excellent bit about this in his stand up years ago: youtu.be/ZEk0bFnOIPE?...
It bears repeating! Gamers, listen in!
Thank you! Though if memory serves I did caveat the bastard bit for the extreme end of the spectrum!
Tour starts Saturday!
Tour starts Saturday!
Reporter: Do aliens exist?
Obama: *chuckles* Technically no, a time ghoul is from Earth. Just not today’s Earth
Congratulations @pierrenovellie.bsky.social
Also, BudPod will have been going for seven years next Wednesday so I assume you and @thenewsatglenn.bsky.social will be partying if the episode hasn't been pre-recorded already.
And The New Dark Ages now has a cover! Bitter years of book reviewing have taught me not to get excited and that most books are fated to be ignored. But I am finding it hard to stay entirely jaded in this instance…
He’s right, but what about my FIRST wife: touring?!
And a brave idea is a bad idea!
@karenho.bsky.social ohhhh it’s tougher Karen - everything is in code
Tickets, red hot!
