AWS cloud engineer and architect. Gamer (video, mainly Eve Online /FFXIV, getting back into retro stuff like the Ultimas / Gold Box D&D of my youth. Occasionally tabletop, mostly Shadowrun 6E). Frequent jokey smart-alec. Expect Australianisms, c*nts :D
Yep they can pry my emulated (for now) Atari 2600/7800 and Commodore games from my cold dead hands.

My cousin only got a Commodore 16 - they barely had enough spare RAM for *one* Yorkshireman in their sketch!

He did have that "Disoriented adventurers puking in the dark" thing didn't he? Almost a fetish.

(Confession: It was what blocked a much younger me from progressing, and that I got lucky and through that room enabled me to make a serious effort to finish the game)

(Bluesky unlocking my memories of BT1 at quite a rate :P)

The best part of Harkyn's Castle! Not having that encounter in the remake would be a crime (and would make me paranoid, having done the same on the Commodore 64 version as a kid in '85)

On a more serious note do not anger koalas their claws are quite sharp, ask any unsuspecting tourist. Crocodiles are serious business (RIP my gf's uncle Kev: bbc.com/news/world-a...)
but wombats do poop cubes.
