[1/2] It's TAGAP Day 2025 – the 18th anniversary of TAGAP. Pablo is all grown up now!

Time to start peeling back the curtain around The Next Game in TAGAP saga. Previous teasers showed our hero sitting in a cockpit.

And here is the thing the cockpit is part of, shown in its bay being refuelled.
Wholeheartedly seconded. The world needs more Gori!

One of the things that drives me nuts about GLSL is the lack of standard INCLUDE macro. Either you write walls of code engine side for management or you duplicate thousands of lines of code across multiple shaders. I'm tempted to shoehorn one into TAGAP X to make life easier. 🤔

I had no damn idea what this was, but the moment I saw the cover, I knew it belonged in my penguin artifact AND game collections.

Attention, the penguins bring news! 🐧🐧

Bread & Fred is coming to PlayStation and Xbox on February 24, 2026.

They've gone full slop. All their promo art is that now. The new CEO doubled down & not surprisingly has AI investments.

Doesn't exactly fit for the champions of preservation, considering the AI bubble is destroying the entire industry (hard- and software).

To think I almost joined their Patreon 😬

Next blog update write-up is almost ready, focusing on how art assets are now created for TAGAP X.

I'm using the currently-in-progress art asset as the example, documenting as I go, so as soon as its ready, so is the blog update.

Off-topic; As GOG spirals to the depths with the new CEO's inability to 'read the room', the last digital PC game store left is Itch.

That's a twist I didn't see coming.

Blood. #Blood2DoesntExistAndCantHurtYou

But seriously, Top-5 in order of my fanboy wishlist:

1) Quake 1
2) Prey (Human Head)
3) Prey (Arkane)
4) Vanquish
5) BloodRayne II

If someone responds to your criticism of online dependencies with "who doesn't have internet?", show 'em this. We can't repeat it enough: Your digital highway gets you nowhere, if the destination doesn't exist. Physical media is like having Disneyland in your backyard.

Doom was an indie game

True, but for some big part of 'the fun' is figuring the way to do that (i.e. speed runners).

I played an unhealthy amount of these way back when, it's so weird to see a game that looks exactly like the LCD games but with smooth animations. Weird - in a good way.

Off-topic; Having just completed Outcast: A New Beginning, I can wholeheartedly say that the 3CD OST alone is well worth it.

Aww, dang it, I knew the game sounded too good and had to have something going against it. Oh well, already have it on the 'backlog shelf' waiting its turn.

It's Bandcamp Friday and it's a good day to grab yourself a copy of the rich meditative vibes of @sonicmayhem.com's Dystopika soundtrack:

Hi! It’s the #CRAZYWinterGames coming up later today hosted by @jonscrazyblues.bsky.social and @lollipopcomics.bsky.social

I thought I’d get a jump on it with the Luluverse bobsledding team. Jules found her great grand dad’s old bobsleigh so they took it out for a spin

Thanks for the heads up. I've actually never heard of this one before.

Nothing quite like '90s 3D Studio Core'.

I know a lot of boomer shooter folk don't like DOOM Eternal's platforming... but it still doesn't negate the fact it has the best First Person platforming / parkour movement I've ever experienced. It may be slower than Ghostrunner, but has pixel perfect control at all times.

🐧 Weekly #Penguin 963

This is a metal keyring with an 'inverse colour' penguin design. It has no markings of manufacturer, designer or a country of origin, sadly. I've had this one for ages but for some reason forgot to feature it - mainly as it has been its intended use most of this time.

Just discovered my one of my all time favourite concept artists Alex Palma (ex-id Software, now at @emptyvesselplay.bsky.social) has his own YouTube channel, where uploads timelapses etc.
