Today I introduced our twins to Freddi Fish (Humongous Entertainment). Their first adventure game, and hopefully not their last ❤️

Finally got round to watching this. I love that with every interview new things come out about the production. Such a nice, humble team.

Happy anniversary, Return to Monkey Island (2022) 🥳 I was on holiday when it was released so I played it on the Steamdeck in a hot tub which was different.
I loved it. The ending was beautifully melancholic, relatable, and will stay with me for a long time.

Hello gaming, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound... of Unavowed.

This is great. Particularly for Ron's tiptoeing around questions about the Secret.
From the Archives (27 Jul, 2023): Those Ron and Dom IRC Logs — “Ron Gilbert and Dominic Armato joined #monkey-island way back when. We have the logs to prove it.”

Can anyone recommend a good retrogaming/adventure games/old games feed that isn't 90% Sonic or Nintendo posts?
Something that pulls in LucasArts, Sierra, that sort of thing.
TIA!

I'm on Tumblr now, by the way (piecesofkatecreates). Haven't got the hecky peck how to use it but feel free to follow me.
I should warn you that I'm using it pretty much exclusively for X-Files / fanfiction. Once I figure out what I'm doing.
