Hi #PitchYaGame! Our ghostpunk roguelike deckbuilder set in a haunted hotel comes out Jan 27 2026!

Come for the 90s nostalgia and teen drama, stay for the chance to throw a rice cooker at a clown or dynamite a spider horse!

Whew, crossed the finish line at 10:24 p.m. on the final day of Novel November, with 50,725 of the most inane BS words ever written. Had a blast with the whole reader participation Choose Your Own Adventure angle. Loads of fun was had by all. But I'm never doing one of these challenges ever again.

Well now I gotta
Imagine doing a remake of Mercenary 3 and making the graphics look like the cover art.

I'm not going to do it because I'm not completely insane. Unless @jimplaysgames.bsky.social becomes a billionaire and funds it.

I have it on good authority that both the interviewer and the interviewee here are portrayed by imposters. And the only reason the authorities look the other way, the interviewer has stolen the interviewee's identity, and the other way round. Let this be a lesson, kids. Don't impost. Stay in school.
Here's a video in which I had a chat with @pacbilly.bsky.social about his new creative endeavours on SubStack. Go watch it! Also subscribe to him. Mostly that, but also watch this.

Did I give my video a clickbaity title for the sake of promoting clickage? Absolutely. Am I ashamed? Not nearly as much as I ought to be.

Every so often, someone drops a hint that they've read my YT video descriptions. Most folks make videos to make videos or to make money. I make them chiefly for what's written beneath.

If you're a subscriber, are you among those who read them? You'll know why I ask soon enough.

With the current Steam sale, the game I worked on is practically free. But hey, if you don't have it and it seems like something you'd like, be one of the first three to hit me up in the DMs while it's still on sale and I'll gift it to you.

I'm starting a new job soon and this will mean some changes on my channel. I don't know what my output will be like going forward. I go into more detail in the video, but the upshot is I'm not going away for good, but it might be a while. Thank you everyone!

It's been ten years since we learned of the untimely death of Laffer35, a valued member of the retro gaming community on YouTube.

Remember Laffer35.

Tomorrow at 6pm GMT I'm going to see if the new fangled Faster FTL drive in Elite Dangerous is all it's cracked up to be.

Also I'm trying out streaming on YouTube rather than Twitch this time, and we'll see how that goes.
