I even tried uploading it to Bluesky itself but it wouldn't let me. It choked while processing.

Last part of my Universe playthrough (the Amiga CD32 version): www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSg1...

Sorry, haven't got anything pithy to say. It's... the same game... again... but with direct controls.

Always good to see the Man-Brute again, though. 😍

Turns out you can finish all of Universe in just over 2 hours if you know what you're doing. Here's the PC DOS version of the game in its entirety (with an entirely different FM soundtrack): www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEwe...

YouTube leaning down and pinching the cheeks of (relatively) new channels and saying, in a coochie-coochie-coo voice, "We spoke to ALL your friends and they think you should make us more money, too! Yes, they did! They really did!" Then a soft slap on the cheek. "Go get 'em, tiger."

A YouTube Studio pop-up that reads: "Start earning with Shorts Feed Ads! We've analyzed how your audience interacts with your channel, the type of content you create, and similar channels to you and think Shorts Feed Ads would be a great fit for you."

It's an adventure game made by Core Design (pre-Tomb Raider). As for where to get it, you may employ the services of Google.

I love Blade Runner to bits — easily my favorite movie of all time — but that scene with Rachael in Deckard's apartment is just... oof.

Sorry the stream ended rather abruptly. I got a BSOD (again). It happened the last time I streamed, too, and I didn't want to restart the stream in case it just happened again. The crack team of nerds on my Discord are helping me diagnose but my computer is very old so it might just need replacing.

I'll be going live with Universe, the second and final adventure game from Core Design, in a few minutes. I'm playing the original Amiga version.
