Kentucky Route Zero - another victim of Netflix bullshit. Game included with subscription, license runs out, gets removed from mobile stores so you can't even buy it, despite there being a perfectly working Android version. Same with the two Golden Idol games.
Absolute shite.

@herring1967.bsky.social I was on a work meal out and ordered Margherita pizza with onions and a side of onion rings. The server said "someone likes onions!"
I replied "RHLSTP!" and she looked at me blankly. Thought I might have found a friend.

Are there any videogames that are just a straight up game of poker - no crazy cards, no powerups or cheating - with a story mode?

I do enjoy @backpagepod.bsky.social but just also found lots of episodes of @mrbasilpesto.bsky.social previous podcast, The Rotating Platform from 10+ years ago on my podcast app.
Still a top listen! Crazy bits like the Space Ark, listeners singing game themes, Jam With The Band - it's great!

We moved house in June and the children no longer share a bedroom. Since then they have not wanted their bedtime stories any more. I had read every night to them since they were tiny, we've read 100s of books in that time but they just don't want stories any more.
I am sad about this.

Help! I started a new save on No Man's Sky. I'll play around 15-20 hours for about the fifth or sixth time before drifting away from it again. I don't know why I always keep starting again...

Remembering when I said, on Twitter, I had missed an opportunity to throw dog poo at T*mmy R*bins*n, without tagging him, and within minutes he sent me a voice message making thinly veiled threats to come and find me 🤣 We went back and forth for a while before he stopped replying.

Bug Hunter on UFO 50 is great. I have almost beat it. It's the second game on the collection, and so far UFO 50 has a success rate of 100%.

Well this is a new one. Every year I have to ring them up and tell them I'm cancelling so they offer me another discount. They've made the first move this year - never had that happen before. What's going on?
