Writing/coding this Pirate Jail sequence was deeply cathartic. I felt I was talking directly to those who pirated my first game, Rescue on Fractalus! And anyone who justified pirating #ZakMcKracken

LucasArts is known for their in-game references In Zak McKracken while in Mars, the tune you get to hear when playing the music cassette is by "Razor and the Scumettes" Razor is one of the original characters in Maniac Mansion, another fantastic LucasArts game I love

I -know- I have a lot of frands out there who have never played Zak McKracken. Let my fangirling showing up your feed be a sign that you should play it sometime :p We all need more LucasArts in our days anyway. I know I sure as heck do ~☆

Yeah, pirates hacked the code to remove the copy protection, usually by ignoring whether the security code you entered was correct or not. Pretty frustrating to those of us who worked so hard to create the game.

But once you find out, how do you feel about buying or consuming their past and future creations? Can you still enjoy their work or is it forever tarnished? Do you boycott?

After coding inside the mansion for 6 months, I REALLY wanted something much more expansive. Not even globetrotting on Earth was expansive enough!

What's your favorite summer fruit?
Summer means peaches and strawberries and the best place to get them on a Thursday night with @davidbfox.com
is the San Rafael Farmers Market. Fresh fruit and yogurt are my goto snack on writing breaks.

Yes, using the Maniac Mansion verbs. I think we had Eat in Zak (probably more delicious than Opening). And maybe “Joyfully devour sundae fast enough to get brain freeze” in #ReturnToMonkeyIsland

After a long day of writing and protecting my protagonist from danger, I thought it would be a good idea to get a Covid booster shot and protect myself. Ice cream with @davidbfox.com is always a treat

We’ve been getting boosters about every 6 months. We went a little longer this time but got reminded when our next door neighbor just got Covid.

Yesterday @anniefox.com and I continued with our traditional post Covid booster ice cream reward. This time a hot fudge sundae at Double Rainbow Ice Cream in San Rafael, CA. Chocolate, coffee, and French vanilla with whipped cream and almonds. Yum!

Hah, “comedy adventure journalism science fiction game” would have been a perfect description for my old Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. I think you’ll find an audience!

I think somewhere in between. When I do that, I think of it as more of a suggestion of how I want things to go, and then I don’t piss off the Universe. 😉

A Tesla was on the list of possibilities in December but I really didn’t want to go there. So pleased when we found better alternatives early the next year.

We test drove every EV candidate in December 2021-February 2022. It was a toss up between the EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the time. Whichever one we could find first with no markup.

So far I’ve made 12 #Amiga related costumes. I made the first one, Giana, 10 years ago already. Currently I’m focusing exclusively on Amiga/ #retrogame cosplays and have plans to make several new ones as soon as life gets a little less busy.

She’s also a rescue. Probably a border collie/beagle/cocker spaniel mix. She’s small at 32lbs.
