I prefer the Starsky & Hutch-style slide.

In 2014 I wrote for @newyorker.com about @kurtjmac.bsky.social, a YouTuber who began walking in Minecraft and never stopped. His quest was to reach the Far Lands, a place at the limits of the algorithmic world, where the landscape breaks apart. On Saturday, after fourteen years, he arrived:

It worked here but I was cringing when they were interviewing Cantona and he was giving it the big Meeks.

Underwurlde is a great game. I much preferred it to Knightlore. While more technically impressive, I found the KL controls made it near unplayable. All style over substance. UW was a favourite of mine along with the quite similar Starquake.

I got to know Richie during lockdown & collaborated on a few projects, he trusted me as a designer, and it's been one of my proudest achievements

Genuinely one of the nicest blokes, running one of the best small businesses around

Someone posted a William Orbit remix and I fell down a rabbit hole.

Pubs, Wormwood Scrubs and too many right-wing meetings.

Listen folks, this thing with Rampling and his lawyer from Reform is not going to go away and I’ve made some enquiries and it looks like I am the only one being sued. I mean this is how ridiculous.....

I did take a 4 pack to a party once just for the disapproving looks; the logo is like the worst sort of turbo cider.

Yes please, I love your art.

The cover is great, I recognised it straight away. The game never seems to get a mention on retro channels. It can't have been good, it hasn't popped into my head since 1986.

Cyberun! That cover sparked some memories.

Wow, thanks for the links. I can vaguely remember the boardgame advert in White Dwarf but I never played it. I also never knew it was turned into video games. What a pity they're no longer available.

Yeah Fig11 looks like chainsaw warrior from one of the Talisman expansions. Link Angel and maybe Mean from 2000AD also on the bottom row.
