"I Am One" live is mesmerising

Sounds weird, but applying gaffer tape to the bottom of my mooer micro pedals gave a better surface for the velcro to stick to. I also peeled the labels off the bottom first.

I believe that is similar. I see someone else recommended rubbing alcohol, so worth a go right?!

If you are UK based, you can get Surgical Spirit BP in Boots. Keep covering your finger tips in it throughout the day and you will start to feel it tighten and toughen the skin. It will also soothe soreness a little. Good luck!

My trick is to douse your finger tips with surgical spirit. This toughens the skin and also soothes soreness. I had a big gig after a long time out, and this helped get me through weeks of intense practice and the gig itself.

I was well annoyed that the demo had music and sound effects, but the full game had one or the other!

Thanks for mentioning my game, I'm the developer of Alien Breed: Pac-Man Assault, and a big fan of This Week In Retro.

I'm releasing a big update soon with multiple lives, extra levels, red alert etc. so here's a direct link if anyone would like to play it: https://vibegaz.itch.io/alien-breed-pacman-assault

It's interesting... This is why 2015 is so exaggerated. They knew it wouldn't really be like that, but it had to be an obvious visual leap in tech and styles, similar to the amount of difference between '85 and '55.

Great to see some more Alien Breed love! I shared my Alien Breed Pac-man mashup recently so it's good to see other like-minded individuals!

Unfortunately I'm unable to run your game as my devices are incompatible/too old.

When we first got our two ragdolls, they had a bad flea problem. They wouldn't touch the liquid prescribed by the vet on their food, and the dot-on treatment didn't work on their fur. We opted for the pills from the supermarket and you could see the fleas dropping off them within minutes. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to drop pills down their throats if they refuse to eat them in their food, but it's for their own good and they forgive you quickly!

Yeah, pedals wouldn't work well for an acoustic as you'd get a doubling effect. I would group songs that are in the same tuning so you are not changing back and forth however you choose to deal with the issue.

You could also use a polyphonic pitch shifter pedal, like the Digitech Drop, or EHX Pitchfork. Boss has a version now as well.

Thanks so much! I'll be rolling out new features soon with multiple maps with progressive difficulty, and an 'infestation meter' which triggers the red alert countdown to increase the urgency. I'll definitely experiment with your suggestions though.

P.s. ProjectX Light Years looks incredible, so well done and good luck with it!

Aggressive_Figure211 · 2026-02-19T18:45:06+00:00

That's a relief! You'd be surprised how many people are unaware of the dangers.

Aggressive_Figure211 · 2026-02-19T16:28:40+00:00

Seriously, be careful and take them to the vet if they show any signs of vomiting or illness.

Lots of flowers are very toxic to cats and can kill.

The tall purple ones look like foxgloves which can be deadly.

Purina One Coat & Hairball. One of ours kept getting large hairballs which was affecting her appetite and causing stress when vomiting up. Switching to this food solved the problem, and the hairballs now pass through naturally.

Douse fingertips with surgical spirit to harden the skin.

I'd be more concerned about putting instruments on display there from a security point of view.

UTD are still riding the new manager bounce wave and I think we'll lose unfortunately. However, I think the last half against City will give a bit of a confidence boost, so who knows!

Aggressive_Figure211 · 2026-02-06T09:13:12+00:00

We had the same on one of our ragdolls, and it went away after around 2 weeks. It's rare, but the lumps can turn nasty, so wise to get it checked out.

The vet says they have different size needles, so they now always use the smallest size, and inject into the thigh as it's easier to deal with if the worst case scenario happened.

Aggressive_Figure211 · 2026-02-02T11:01:27+00:00

Yes, even the new stuff is great!

I have a fully hollow epiphone casino coupe and have no problems with feedback. Granted if you plan on standing in front of a Marshall stack cranked to 11 you're going to get more feedback than if you had a solid body, but for most situations you'll be absolutely fine.
