@sloanysoft.itch.io Haha! I have my cassette single of Turn On Your Landin’ Lights here somewhere…
@sloanysoft.itch.io Gooseberet!
@quentinpsausages.bsky.social Oh I remember them, they had that big hit with The Power of Love.

Hi! 👋 😅
@quentinpsausages.bsky.social Beep beep boop boop
@zxvintage.bsky.social I really enjoy those. Peking has some great features IIRC like peeking (excuse the pun) under the tiles; offering hints if you get stuck. Does a lot with monochrome graphics (and the isometric view is nice!) but the colour tiles on SAM are much nicer of course. Probably among my most-played lately!
@sonicyoda.bsky.social I’m replaying Dragon Age: Origins just now and I don’t know if it’s a back-compat thing or what but all the ghosts look a bit like that. Tongues and eyeballs floating in a see-through heid.
@reheatedpixels.bsky.social I was heartened to see the majority of the responders calling out the bullshit. (And saddened to see a couple of erstwhile wallopers – whom I thought had toned it down lately – joining in). Time to investigate the friend/foe system in PHPBB I suppose. BAMO.
@reheatedpixels.bsky.social Hah, I suspect just "tape" would baffle a lot of folk. (Especially as a verb, but also as a noun). Although (and it's not quite the same as the vinyl-revival but) I'm pleased to see cassette singles and DIY-EPs are a Thing again.
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Hahah! Profoundly true, yes.
@breakintoprogram.co.uk I've heard it described as a write-only language.
@quentinpsausages.bsky.social I'm usually a "performance mode" gamer these days but I think option one (4K HDR RT) in this instance! 😆 All that lush detailed organic vegetation looks great.
Do you have other levels/styles planned? Options two/three might work well with more fantasy-themed or inorganic shapes; pipes, bricks etc?
@jasesdesouza.bsky.social When I first got back/into retro stuff I'd flick through (PDF copies of) contemporary magazines sort of forlornly feeling like I'd missed out on a lot of the innovation and excitement and ZX Microfairs and Weird Things to Plug in the Back of your Spectrum. But I soon realised the best time is now!
@samcoupe.com Haha, indeed!
@samcoupe.com Ah I see, sounds good (and tricky!) Yeah looking forward to digging into the Soundbyte stuff!
@samcoupe.com What’s Tri-Tiles? A match three sort of puzzle? How is it played?
@sloanysoft.itch.io Yeah likewise! (Put in a word with Chris W for me and see if he’ll move it to a weekend that doesn’t clash with my family member’s birthday!)
@sloanysoft.itch.io New collective noun: a Crash of Smash(ing) good lads. (Nah, maybe it won’t catch on). Looks like it was a fun time though; wish I could have been there!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Oh this one rings a bell.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Heh, except “Usborne” rather than Jason Bourne. 😉
@fuzzweed.co.uk Ha! No but that was the other song I almost mentioned!
@quentinpsausages.bsky.social Ah, so much so, yes. 🙌
