Happy 40th Birthday to Space Harrier. The first arcade game that legit blew my mind. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

Space Harrier at 40: how Sega’s surreal classic brought total immersion to arcades in the 80s

I watched this last night. As with any 1970's sci-fi, it's dystopian, slow as fuck, and ends on a still frame with a minor key synth sting. w.wiki/FgEH

Mrs. bowdie and I have been together for getting on 30 years now, and we've never as much as farted or picked our noses in front of each other. Kinhell, have some mystery and privacy! :D

OK BlueSky network, can we do the six degrees of Kevin Bacon thing? Does anyone know Ian Livingstone or someone in similar tech/tabletop gaming/boardgame area? I've got a tech demo that I'd love to take further, or at least show to people who might 'get it'.

Reposts appreciated.

A reasonable and accurate estimate for the total distance traveled for this 131-stop tour is approx 8,500 miles
