Retro Realness

I had a lovely surprise in the post today: Bobr Games liked my 2020 SEUCK Competition entry so much they've given it a full physical release on ROM cartridge, complete with map, ID card, manual, and stunning original art by Simon Butler. Sadly, I don't have an actual C64 myself so I can't appreciate the...

A Fembot’s Finest Hour

The annual C64 Shoot-‘Em-Up-Construction-Kit (SEUCK) game-designing contest, hosted as ever by Richard Bayliss of The New Dimension, seems to come around so quickly, but thankfully, to coin a phrase, here's one I prepared earlier ...

Burning Bridges and Glitching Vampires

My silence has been repeatedly noted, so I thought it time to type a quick assurance that contrary to the evidence Cal and I are still alive and well, and continuing as planned with our transitions. There have, alas, been no positive developments, though, and this week I find myself a somewhat lonelier trans lady......
