Yeah, no idea who originally designed it (going to guess it wasn't the AliExpress seller) but they did a great job with getting together so many cool sprites.

This might be the cheapest rug/mat I've ever gotten (AliExpress so you can guess the quality).
But it ties the room together (man).
And stops the cables being a trip hazard ๐
Just released the worst performing video I have released in the last... I dunno, 50 videos lol
Oh well, hopefully my horrendously performing video helps these 10 fantastic smaller YouTubers :)

People will tell you now the Amiga won the 16-bit generation. But the Amiga launch was a disaster and the one you were supposed to buy didn't arrive for 2 years.
Here's what really happened.

Seems weird that of all companies Firefox would be trying to shove as much AI into their browser as possible.
There is even talk of an "AI" powered browser from them.
That seems like the opposite of the "open web" they keep talking about.
Need to watch Rebuild, been sat there for ages.
If anything the key carts have taken 2 things that were already happening on the switch.
The code in a box,
And the games that had very little on the cart, and required a down load.
And made it explicit.
If they didn't make the key carts, then it would still be happening just in the less clear way.
Got some new colours in, as there is no such a thing as too much nail polish...
And going with baked bronze.
Which I think I quite like.
Went to do an exercise session and my legs screamed no!
So did a bit of arm work then gave up.
Been really hard to get back into exercising this year.
@gouldfishongames.com, you have been immortalized in AmigaVision: github.com/amigavision/...
Been watching 'Darling in the Fraxx',
And I swear the creators just wondered
"Could we make an even hornier Eva"
And here was me thinking it was just going to be a mecha show.
In a not too distant past the Amiga had its fair share of games based on movie licenses, so I decided to give myself a bunch of rules so I would check out some of the less talked about ones.
But were they any good?

Ruff N Tumble?! In this economy?
Does this mean I've hit the jackpot?
Has to be Minecraft, but I got bought it during the very early days to get it that cheap.
Frontier first encounters, enters the chat and crashes.
If anything this proves the opposite point. Of the 2 versions of Resident Evil. Which are you picking the highly compressed version with all the lower resolution videos, worst sound and lower frame rate due to decompression?
It's an impressive port, the devs did a great job.
It's not looking good for the Saturn, its most famous magazine is dying. There is hope though, EA have a new Strike game and finally the machine is getting the FPS legend, Doom.
It's too late for Mean Machines Sega, but is it too late for the Sega Saturn?

Whoops missed posting the last polish, here are the new nails.
Slightly more subtle than normal, this is mermaid fin.
But it is, this interest in the games they made in the past assumes they have any of that code or even care about the game.
So many are just a job.
Do I care about the source for "Disney singit pop hits" nope, does the world, I doubt it.
And the reality is that of the games that have been opened sources, very very few have been touched.
Unless you already have a strong technically minded fan base.
The source code will just sit there.
No building good will, no new ports.
This isn't a "modern business" thing.
So many game devs from the past put zero effort into archiving or keeping source code around. It just wasn't important.
The game was out, time to work on the next.
Honestly game dev has a very very long history of being "hostile" to its customers.
From weird copy protections, to boosting difficulty of games so they can be finished in a weekend.
To new credit every 8 mins.
Not releasing the source isn't hostile.
The old fun of who owns the source, and legal agreements around X owns the engine and Y owns the game code.
If there is any hard line between them.
Not being able to directly reuse code from one project to the next as it was different publishers.
Just spending some time to double check that there isn't anything dodgy in the codebase takes time.
Even if they don't do any work.
It would be nice to see more games code out there, but worked on enough games and the archiving process to know it's not quick or easy.
It's not always easy to get past legal requirements.
Use a third party audio lib, the. You need permission.
Use a console SDK, well you've signed an agreement saying you won't expose it to the public.
Which all takes time and money to deal with.
Nothing quite as magical as managing to get drugged and kidnapped while flying as high as possible in a helicopter!
That takes some skill.
The move is complete but times are a changing.
A channel update and tour of the new home is live!

Giving my video about the X Files game another cheeky little share. :)

I'd have made the same choice.
Who am I kidding, I wouldn't have grabbed the grapes to start with!
