That rules thanks for sharing
Oh yeah I think we had similar hair surgery
oh I'm excited!!!
Individuals aren't the customers, they're the beta testers
I hadn't seen this since it was new, man I can't believe I recorded a video right after having a tooth removed
yes yes, extremely relevant!! and reminding me that I need to buck up and take a trip out to Fargo for the surviving work of an unsung game developer (you're invited if you wanna??)
watching now but sharing my immediate "oh it's Revolution Hall!" reaction as I saw a show there this year
The floppy disks were immediately sold to a collector without examining their contents first, which I know because that collector asked for my help looking at the files. It was almost all nonsense/pirated software, but it could have been really embarrassing. This is a real live person!
I think I'm thinking about this way too hard but like, this is really dehumanizing? Like when we inherit a collection or help people whose loved ones made games but can't speak for themselves anymore, we separate "collectibles" from archival/personal and we handle the latter with care and tact.
Like it's one thing to realize one day that all of my life's work is just gone forever, but then to find someone on YouTube flipping through my personal notebooks on camera and selling it to the highest bidder? I'm pretty sure my soul would just leave my body if I saw that.
Scrubbing through this video made me really sad. Imagine missing a storage unit payment and suddenly your entire career is stripped naked and splayed out butt naked for a few YouTube views before being parceled out. I'm not saying they did anything wrong, it's just deeply unsettling to think about.
Hey! No to the Sierra book, yes to the photos, [email protected]
Part of my daily ebay routine is looking for magazines that have "gaming" in the title. I don't think this one reviews PlayStation games in the back but if you have back issues of Milton in your collection let us know in chat
We drink. We smoke. We gamble. MILTON.
nah it's just regular bloat caused by shrimp, it's just fun to say
Nothing special, just sometimes you feel kinda bloated if you eat an entire party tray of like, anything
oh yeah your dad and I get red carpet at The Club
yes, I am allowed to purchase hot dogs in exchange for money
