Englebert the Third

Hi Bluesky! I'm Fran and I've been gaming since I was 3. You will see a lot of gaming (especially retro and indie games) and photography posts here. Of course, you will get food, music and memes as an extra too.

So, I decided to apply the Honeywell PTM7950 to the GMKTec K6 mini-PC and now it stays at 70°C, instead of hitting 80°C. Benchmarked it using 86Box with Unreal Tournament's menu because it usually cooks the CPU for some reason.

Ecstatica is out on Steam in an enhanced version featuring, among others, high resolution. Best ellipsoid fever dream simulator out there. #retrogaming #dosgaming

This port is amazing. I'm really enjoying replaying Blast Corps this way.

Upgrades done to the Gameboy Colour and the BC-250 this weekend. Soldered a bigger capacitor to clear the noise from the speaker by the OLED mod and gave the BC-250 a Honeywell and new NVRAM thermal pad. I could finally overclock the CPU to 4GHz with all 8 cores enabled and the GPU to 2GHz 😁

Running Windows 98 as intended (at 1080p)

Imagine getting Palmer Luckey's Gameboy instead of getting a modded one that is ethical and has a bigger screen.

In 2026, fan translations worked on by real people feel even more magical than they used to.

Shit. I'm a founding father

Installed Windows 7 on my Mac Pro just to feel something

Update on the Gameboy Color: the shell from Hispideedo is pretty much terrible. The D-Pad sinks in and it's hard to do diagonals. So I got myself a purple one from Funnyplaying and it's so good! 😁

AI coding for banks is not likely to have any unforeseen consequences, is it? /s

Midnight algorithm pull: Primus covering Holy Diver with a sad clown and more than nailing it

Props to the ad agency: they nailed the "white person who plagiarises and steals credit using LLMs" look with 100% accuracy

The EA you know has been dead for a long time. This is just feeding its corpse to the wood chipper.

Do yourselves a favour and get some retro handhelds, if you really need to buy something new. Future gaming isn't sustainable.

looking to tap into the sum of all human knowledge to accomplish a task? thats called a library. go read a book.

We just released the demo for our game "Demi and the Fractured Dream" for the Steam Next Fest. Try out the demo and wishlist! 🥰 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #demiandthefractureddream #steamnextfest

Playing some Resident Evil with this bad boi

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

I always felt Tear from Smashing Pumpkins would've been perfect for a Silent Hill. I then read that they wrote the song for Lost Highway, which inspired Silent Hill 2 and my feeling made sense.

The last act of defiance

Get some billionaires to test it, please

I can't wait for the "She turned the weens against us" period of the messy divorce.

They might have taken openMenu to the next level with the addition of background menu music.

Imagine using the Epic Store as your main game provider, unironically

RIP to a legend and a great part of what made my childhood gaming possible. Fucking 2026 and fucking cancer, man...

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.

Cold Eyes from Peter Cawdron. A very enjoyable hard sci-fi book. More than half-way through it and it goes into unexpected territory.

If this is how you play Quake you're a whore

Hacked my Kobo eReader to play text adventures the right way

That's it, Silent Hill has been speedran

Finally managed to install Boot Camp 3.1 and got the Nvidia drivers working with the GTX 750 Ti. So I have under the desk a Win XP and a Win 7 rig now.
