Time for another trip into the Atari 8-bit library! Today we take a look at FIREFLEET, English Software's take on the vertically scrolling Caverns of Mars-style shoot 'em up formula: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2PI...

This is the most beautifully cited reason to hate AI that has ever been written. I love this paragraph with a passion.

Ok, listen - Epic knows it has six fingers and they know you will rage repost it. Don't.

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

For its third entry, the Asteroids series ditched vectors in favour of bitmapped graphics, allowing for more detail and variety in gameplay. The result was Blasteroids, which got a remarkably solid Atari ST port. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jir4...

I also wanted to pull out a special part of the piece: fuck Jensen Huang. By forcing customers to take early delivery of GPUs to boost quarterly revenues, he artificially inflated the price of RAM and every consumer electronic. What he and his hyperscale paypigs have done is morally reprehensible.

My cat just came upstairs, looked at me, vomited, then went back downstairs again. Hard not to take that at least a bit personally.

In this current moment, I am very grateful that some of my heroes are keeping hold of their damn minds youtu.be/hQuNurh-f-s?...

Today on the channel: a look at Chris Crawford's seminal accessible-but-deep wargame for Atari 8-bit, EASTERN FRONT (1941). I don't know or completely understand wargames, but this one is really easy to get started with, with a lot to sink your teeth into over time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Wg...

So @birdrespecter.bsky.social shared this in our group chat and after 12.5 hours of podcasting it’s the only content my brain can actually process anymore

Clive Barkers: Hellraiser Revival is a game that feels basically made for me. So here's my 1,500 review about Marquis de Sade, Clive, transgressive art, and a bloody good game: www.digitallydownloaded.net/2026/10/revi...

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

My preference for a Big Achievement Update would be "We removed Achievements. Please proceed to enjoy your media without turning it into Work."

Super-excited that we're working towards a future where all my favourite '90s first-person shooters have physical console releases.

ARCHIPELAGOS is an Atari ST game I've always been curious about, but was always concerned it would be complex and confusing. It's a lot more straightforward than I thought it was, but thoroughly compelling and atmospheric. A real treat to play for the first time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfHR...

Tickets booked to see Street Fighter on Friday. Two movies in as many weeks! Not bad considering the last time I went to the cinema prior to last week was (checks) 2011
