I'm sorry to hear about that Poly, hopefully things will pick up for you and Julie real soon!

Luckily I got my birthday present in the mail, so I'm finally a "seal mom". Bit tacky but gosh Pearl's a cutie.

Good for you Bonny....:grin:


Poly that ass wipe dump is losing popularity here hopefully he can be neutralized by congress before he can crash the whole show, which seems to be the mission.


Dam we tried to warn these knuckleheads that voted for him what he would do and everyone said "No he's a businessman he will bring down the cost of groceries"...Not so much...

think we are seeing the collapse of the US as a world power.............:devil:

Aside from some global political idiot, one of the things that is getting me down has been the latest newsflash from Ninezyme entertainment.

Quickly summarised: I love the games from 80s and 90s adventure game company Sierra, like Leisure Suit Larry and Gabriel Knight. Back in 2012 a lot of these game creators from Way Back Then commenced Kickstarter campaigns to start making new games in the same spirit.
Leisure Suit Larry, the only one I got to back, fared OK in the sense that the kickstarted game, a remake of Leisure Suit Larry, was made. However the animations were poor and unfortunately one of the game producers was such an SOB that the creator, Al Lowe, decided to take his hands off the company.
Gabriel Knight, my favourite as it has a superb writing quality like a book you can't put down - creator Jane Jensen created a small game-creating start-up. I gave 5 euros from my Paypal account or something, not much. Her indie studio produced a Gabriel Knight 1 remake and a new game, Moebius. Moebius was not critiqued very well and the sales og GK1 remake were down, so Pinkerton Road decided to close the studios and Jensen is back writing novels for her niche market.
Space Quest: sci fi is not my thing but I played a few, that game is still in production 13 years later.
King's Quest: a new game was released in chapters but that was where the well ran dry.
Quest for Glory: never played those, also yielded one game but nothing much beyond that.

Then there's Laura Bow - that was in production by Ninezyme Entertainment for literally years. They were already having well-rounded art and animation by 2019. In order to gain funds for their small company, they started a side project called Tile Tales.

Now Tile Tales is not doing very well in sales, not making a profit, and this is putting the development of a potential new Laura Bow game in danger.

Thing is - recently I played Moebius. It may have graphical issues but it was still a pretty amazing game. It saddens me that games like these, good adventures with decent puzzles just won't get made anymore.

I bought Tile Tales (2 copies to support the company) and am having fun with it. It's a bit of a game like Spider or Ants where your character is following the path on tiles and you have to guide him to an end target. The way the game is playing out is a lot of the levels have an additional challenges of which you need to figure out how to solve them. And if you solved it you can work on finding the shortest path.

Dad hits the big 70 tomorrow, so happy birthday DED! (he's on the forum but hasn't been on in a while)

happy birthday

Happy Birthday Bonny's Dad!!!...:singer::guitar2::drums::guitar:

I gave Dad an electric kettle (he's been wanting a larger one now we have solar panels, he uses them to cook and do the washing up and our old one was too tiny). We then mused at the manual which claims that "this product may not come into contact with water. Should any part of the product get wet, please unplug the product and contact the manufacturer immediately."

Now that is hilarious...

Getting the Trees trimmed that is setting me back $2400...:freak:

Shit, could buy a lot of Vinyl for that lol

They Bonsaied (2) 25 foot tall pine trees, trimmed (2) 15 foot tall Camphor trees, took old fronds of a 20 foot tall palm tree, cut down (3) trees 10 foot tall in one neighbors yard, and (2) trees in another neighbors yard. The trees in the neighbors yards were causing me a lot of heart burn with the swimming pool so I am a happy guy...:bouncing::bouncy::roll:

cool

My sister is in Amsterdam, I am excited for her they should have a good time on this 3 week cruise down to Germany.

Got back from Easter at my boyfriend's. Basically I helped him do the paperwork for his company.

Hope you all had a great Easter!

We had an actual holiday in our motorhome for easter. We visited London. Friday night at the Treacherous Cretins gig at the 229 Club. Saturday visiting museums in the city and a boat ride on the Thames. Sunday with Daughter, son in law and granddaughter. Monday dropping into the Ikea in Milton Keynes on the way home.

As happy Seal Mom I spent last evening watching my pup on the videos of Zeehondencentrum. https://www.instagram.com/zeehondencentrum/reel/DIooQMzNbdU/
That one gave me a very relaxing night of sleep!
