It’s been tremendously fulfilling to work with the team @lab42games.bsky.social to bring this game to life! I think people are going to love it 😊

Lab42 Games | A Storied Life: Tabitha @lab42games.bsky.social · Aug 21

We’re thrilled to have just announced our game A Storied Life: Tabitha at the Gamescom Awesome Indies showcase!

It’s a real labour of love for the team at Lab42 and we’re over the moon to be working with our friends @wearesecretmode.com on an original title.

Secret Mode | NUTMEG! + A Storied Life, coming '26 @wearesecretmode.com · Aug 21

How would you like to be remembered?

In A Storied Life: Tabitha, you arrive at the house of someone close after they've passed away. Picking through the items that made up their life, you'll choose what stories you want to tell from their past.

Coming to PC in 2026 from @lab42games.bsky.social

It’s really only the first book that’s super dry, IMO. When they stop time jumping so often you don’t get to spend much time with the characters they get a lot more fun.

I love the TV show, though! But I have no idea why they deviated so much at the very end of the latest season…

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 17h

sorry dan I’m woefully uninformed on what those words mean and it just made me think of this

Have you seen the new show? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob has it for you. Poob has it for you.

How’s my business trip to LA going?

I just beat all three cups in Street Racer on the plane ride over. Wadda you think

Bad photo of the screen of a Super Pocket showing a race about to start in Street Racer, a colourful sprite-based kart racer that kinda looks like the first Mario Kart

A bad photo of the screen of a Super Pocket showing the results screen of the Gold Cup of Street Racer. In 1st place is Surf (a beautiful blond lady with a revealing pink top) with 171 points (dats me), then 2nd place is Frank (a Frankenstein) with 103 points and in 3rd place is Suzulu (a racist caricature of a gentleman from Africa) with 76 points

This games a bit of a mess for its stereotypes

MK3 hits home.

It’s difficult to explain the level of MK3 obsession throughout 1995. Scouring early internet for rumors (shoutout rat.org), clipping magazines, trading secrets at the arcade, etc.

Shoutout to Flux Magazine’s @danamrich.bsky.social. Whatever happened to that guy? 😉

Then UMK3 for the Saturn came out and I could stop spending all my 20ps on the arcade cabinet!

I know MK2 is a lot of people’s fave but U/MK3 was such a case of right place right time for me. Same with the SF Alpha games - I was now old enough to spend all my time at the arcades, lol.

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 19h

I went to London for a Star Trek con with my mum and found an MK3 strategy guide and ran to a pay phone to ring my brother back home and read secrets and fatality inputs and shit to him to scribble down and try IMMEDIATELY on the Mega Drive.

What a time to be alive.

Tealights!

Is tradition.

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 19h

Absolutely! The world needs more low poly games.

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 21h

Daaamn the first Tomb Raider is just as good as I remembered from having it on the Saturn when it was new, and being able to play it on a physical cartridge on a plane is aces

Never noticed before but imagine if Fade to Black had similarly good mechanics? Now THAT would have been a Flashback sequel

Photo of the first Tomb Raider being played on a yellow and blue HyperMegaTech Super Pocket Capcom Edition. The screen shows an adventurer with her back to the camera, with lush greenery and ancient stone around her. In front of her is a very dead brown bear.

The Ziggurat | Critical Role
Illustration / 3D model

#CriticalRoleFanart #TLOVM #illustration #3Dmodel #TGTT @exandriaartists.bsky.social

The Whitestone Ziggurat is a location in the Dungeons and Dragons web series Critical Role and animated series The Legend of Vox Machina. This image shows a
digital illustration of a necromantic ritual taking place atop a tiered pyramid with a long staircase leading to a structure at the top. Some of the tiers also feature rows of stone arches with carved details. There are tall, thin pillars on each corner of the pyramid with hollow stone circles on top. Chains wrap around the circles and lead through the open windows of the upper structure. A green beam of magical energy erupts vertically from the structure and out of the windows. Behind the ziggurat are cave walls and ceiling with stalactites, in front are and tree roots and rocks close to the viewer that frame the image. There is a low-lying teal mist at the base. The colour palette of the image is bright green magic effects, mid-value teal mist and dark blue for the structure and environment. The artist's signature reads "Tristan McGuire @Draconic_Cowboy".

Can’t wait! Been itching to play the final product since first hearing you folks were doing it 🥹

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 2d

I imported a US PS2 for this because I was convinced it would never get a PAL release. Then it did!

It’s unlikely your passwords were compromised because they wouldn’t be stored in plain text.

The real danger is the rest of your life being attacked because of the personal info they stole.

Anyway, it’s not been put on the public internet yet - hence the extortion.

In what way is it not playable on Switch 1? You can plug in a USB mouse…

He legitimately elevated that completely bizarre Resident Evil TV show where he played four different characters. A bad show in many ways - but he was not a bad part of it.

If the devil themself offered me a sum of money and in exchange the only video games I could play for the rest of my life would be Sega Saturn games I’d happily take that money.

Then I’d frantically figure out how we add a Saturn platform to Tabitha because I need to play that a lot,

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

An incredible game. I was so excited for launch day that the night before I dreamt about playing it.

Reader, it lived up to my dreams.

Stone cold classic.

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

IT trolled me, IT, not I, my kingdom for an edit button

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

It was a pretty ironic post!

I booked the day off work to play original MGS3 the day it came out, and being a total sicko I told it I was a fan of MGS2, and I trolled me brilliantly!

But aside from all that my gripe still kind of stands, lmao. It is a bit obscene how long it takes to get going.

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

Agreed. Most people really don’t know how much it costs to run - so much that it CANNOT pay for itself. It is NOT inevitable. It’s a parlour trick - by definition - for now, and cannot last.

Is dumb.

My eldest kid started college and had arguments with the teachers about it immediately lmao

Terry Goodwin @terrygoodwin.bsky.social · 11d

Yeah this is my go-to response to people now that are gradually becoming slaves to it.

Like, you know this isn’t sustainable, right? These companies have targets that are literally impossible, right? Your affirmation toy will be taken away from you.
