I like how it won’t let you select the Expansion Pak for Space Station as it has a known bug when it’s switched on.

Perfect Dark on the Analogue 3D is quite the thing. Runs so much better than the original hardware and the new filters are very impressive.

I spent nearly two hours this morning sorting out an emulator issue that Nick would have been able to sort in minutes. He did so much on the mag than just being a great writer.
Doing a little cheats special on Desert Strike in his honour, as he used to play it with his dad.

Not so much a #randomgamesaturday but I was allowed to take on some of Nick’s games, and this is a Nick game through and through.
Will be firing it up later.

The amount of emails we’ve received about Nick’s passing in the last week has been truly heart-warming.
It’s been great reading about how his work resonated with so many people.

Bittersweet day with Nick’s family, sorting things out and sharing stories. Will be up innHarlow for another day and then it’s back to Bournemouth. He always spoke so fondly of his parents and sisters, so it’s been great to put faces to the stories.

One of the last Nick shared with me was a recommendation to play Evil Egg. It’s a great roguelike take on Robotron and is absolutely free. Give it a download if you can.

Spent the last hour rewatching our old mag videos that we used to do about 9 years ago on Youtube. Laughing and crying a lot. Miss you, Nick.

Everyone have a good weekend? I watched Zootropolis 2 (great), Fountain Of Youth (terrible) played some Sektori, Evil Egg and The Witcher III, bought some Xmas presents and went birdwatching. Quite the packed weekend for me.

Hey @valvesoftware.com can you please fix the Steam Deck bug so that games actually output in 5.1 and not stereo.
I don’t think that’s a lot to ask from a £500+ machine.
