I'm interested in this.
its babka, decoding on a picture phone set, but its a bit noisy and out of sync, so his image has some static and horizontal drift, and a few lines that are full bright. it brings to mind the intro of the game myst =^^=
Who are you… You must help me, please… Bring me the salmon treats… I can't… I can't see you… hear me… I need the salmon treats, you must bring me the salmon treats… Please bring … beg of you, bring the treats… Help me… I am Babka… Given up long ago… There is one thing I need to be rescued… You must…
Aha, it's been a rather... Intense one so far! 👀
Right back at you, Timmy, have a lovely Sunday! Thank you for always leaving these greets, even if I don't usually respond I really appreciate being included in them like this. ❤️
Aha, it's a very valid train (👀) of thought, I feel - always very tricky for adaptations into such different genres to hit right with everyone. I haven't played this myself but saw bits on YouTube and it does look properly spooky - and there are plenty of games Sasha and I try that end up not tat!
Aha, the music is definitely one of the things I remember most fondly from Sasha's and my play-through of it, and this song sure is even more of a banger than I had in mind!
We have a vinyl of the OST and this gave me an excuse to whip it out and enjoy it a bit.
Up on my site for a comfy read: a new 'Adventure Log' featuring Starflight for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis!
Join Captain Sasha McAuliffe and the crew of the ISS Roger Wilco as they take their first voyage from the planet Arth in search of adventure, creds, and mischief.
Hope y'all enjoy reading it. 💜
So for those wondering about the hoo-ha there is a well meaning campaign to boycott Youtube channels running ads for ICE, the American department of disappearing. Unfortunately we can't really control that, the pictures attached represent all our control short of turning off ads and views -> 0. 🧵
A Japanese ad for Pikmin 2 with rendered characters on a real-life kitchen tabletop with a tin of salmon and various things like bottle tops and can openers, and some other bits of household things being carried away by Pikmin. A cat is peeking up over the edge and looking amazed, potentially horrified.

Captain Olimar and a new form of strange life - one keeping a good eye on the tin of salmon being carried away.
What a cute ad for Pikmin 2.

I did say I was cooking.
COOKING UP A NEW ARTICLE FOR IN RETROSPECT!
I decided it was finally time to spread the good word about Cooking Guide, the digital cookbook for your DS!
Hope you enjoy the article, please share it around if you can!

#Infernulls has been out a month and I'm sitting around 70 copies sold which makes me quite happy!
If you've bought and/or read it, I'd love to hear what you have to say! Thank you for the support, I appreciate it.

A fresh heads-up that my partner and I put out a regular digital retro gaming and anime 'zine, Between the Scanlines, that not only aims to capture the spirit of those of the past but also preserve anecdotal memories.
Plus, it's a cosy read. 💜

You can pull through, believe! Always a stressful time ;;

"Thanks for playing! A new adventure awaits..."
Aww, Kit and I just finished Salt and Sanctuary, playing it co-op with me as the sellsword.
Kit played it in the past on the Vita, but this is her first time playing it all the way through.
Wonderful 2D Souls-like with such a compelling plot and world.
Aha, I can't remember if you played Death Stranding or not but a lot of the time when I'm down I try to go by the adage the protag often repeats, namely "keep on keeping on" - hope you keep it to heart yourself! 🐱
To arms, my floofkin! 🐱⚔️🦊
I do hope you've enjoyed it, Timmy, vague memories and nostalgia when firing it up recently quickly gave way to realising just how tough as nails it is, aha!
