Mark Hamill is a national treasure. While obviosly Luke Skywalker is what he is known for, I rank his portrait of Colonel Christopher "Maverick" Blair in game Wing Commander: 3 Heart of the Tiger, IV The Price Of Freedom and Prophesy. #WingComander #OriginSystems

47's closing argument was deeply compelling: Pro-Iran War, Ballroom, Triumphal Arch, Helipad, Luxury Golf Course, Reflecting Pool, Obtain Greenland, not being laughed at, etc. Don Jr's was even stronger: "They want to make Ohio a state!" I agonized over my decision, but ultimately, voted all BLUE.🗳️

The creator of Ultima is reportedly reclaiming the series' rights back from EA, and it could happen as soon as next year
"Every decade or so, I tried to work with EA on a revival of Ultima."

I'm a big fan of #OriginSystems' catalogues; I have extras lying around that I can just flick through. They bring me an immense of joy (/nostalgia).

My fav! 🗡️✨

I'm currently reading @richardgarriott.bsky.social's Create/Explore, & in it he discusses the challenges of translating his (fantasy) languages to other (real) languages.. so cool.

I successfully reverse-engineered the map format of the NES port of Times of Lore (1990). Here is the whole game in all its glory!
