Im pretty sure I saw this as a visual gag in a Muppet Babies comic book in the 80s! I think it was issue #13… I might still have it packed away somewhere
Depending on the situation, up to #13 for me.

While I had it in my Steam library already, Factorio deserves to be pirated for breaking with the standard practice of not raising game prices with inflation. Same with Sega's anti-consumer move to remove the Sonic ROMs from the Sega Genesis collection to boost sales of Sonic Origins.

I listened to Gould's No Parachute last year and was drawn into the story he told, via letters to his wife, about air combat in WW1. Open Cockpit is similar but a bit broader and philosophical. Still a good read ☕☕☕☕
The new dark fantasy from Premee Mohamed is a quick read, but one that will linger, probably haunt me forever. Children are involved, but it is definitely not a children's story.
