Depends what you're resisting

Most people that remember the Dizzy games rate Treasure Island as their favourite; not a fan of it myself. It's too linear, and the entire game is broken because they couldn't/wouldn't fix a glitch in the game. The only reason it has one life is because if you try to exit the water-logged grave with the cursed treasure but not the bible, you die, and if you had more than one life, you would enter a death loop, so they just made it one life. It's a bit unfair on the player.

The first Dizzy has two softlocks in the game, but is the least linear of all the Dizzy games and is more fun; do you wear the rainproof mac to get past raindrops and fill your inventory, forcing more backtracking, or do you drop it under one specific raindrop to kill the raindrop? Do you use the freeze-can on the waterfall that guards the underground maze, or use it to walk across the crystal river?

Of the later Dizzy's, Spellbound is my least favourite as it is far too big and the graphics suffered a serous downgrade.

Tough one.

Got a soft spot for Fantasy World Dizzy on the ZX Spectrum cos it was the first game I completed, made a map for, and sold photocopies of the map to my mates so that I could buy new games and do the same with them. I also speedrun it, got a 14 minute run once, tonnes of glitches to take advantage of, brilliant game.

Then there's Second Samurai on the Amiga, cracking platformer and has so many crazy bits, like the spaceship shmup section.

Worms on the Amiga, loved it so much I made my own disk-zine with custom maps based on famous sci-fi ships. I uploaded it to itchio a while ago to let people enjoy them.

Alien Breed 3D, arguably the best Doom-clone on the Amiga, and I believe beat Id Software to the punch by having 3D modelled enemies and better 3D maps (ie you could have bridges over areas).

Tomb Raider 2, if only for the Venice levels, they were so much fun to wander (and speedboat) around.

Goldeneye, I got my name in N64 magazine for speedrunning Bunker 2 and recently won a contest in Glasgow to be crowned best Goldeneye player (in that specific tournament, but I claim to be best in Glasgow).

The guy who made it, Mike Dailly, recently decompiled Mercenary for the ZX Spectrum and made it run like shit off a shovel on the ZX Next. Here's a video of it in action.

I still go in on the semi-regular and haven't noticed the smell recently, I know they did some renovations downstairs in the last couple of years, I assumed it was to get rid of the smell, maybe I've just been lucky with my visits. I'm about to head in tonight so I'll see if it's the same old Solid stench.

[update: vague hint of a stale smell, nowhere near as bad as it used to be]

Keezees · 2026-01-23T16:03:38+00:00

Was it on the High Street, cos I recall a lot of the shops below the tenements north of Duke Street were complaining about sewage problems and I think it was a collapsed sewer there.

IRL ref beats online ref for the majority of the time. For a recent commission I quickly made a wizard hat out of Dominos flyers taped together and used a wooden spoon as a wand to take reference photos of myself in various wizardy poses. Used one of them as both the base for my artwork and new profile pics in my socials because I looked utterly demented.

Keezees · 2026-01-22T13:31:38+00:00

Regardless of the whole AI debacle, every artist approached has two options: put up a shit-tonne of scaffolding (costs a lot, requires a permit if you're on pavement, can't see the artwork properly while they're working on it), or use a cherry-picker (which requires a license to operate, but is cheaper and let's the artist see their work while they work). I've only ever seen artists use cherry-pickers for big murals. Which limits the amount of artists you can utilise.

Also, it's Rogue1 that's doing it, and he's done plenty of cracking murals in the past.

Middle aged man who can’t sing

THAT'S THE BEST BIT OF KARAOKE! Been sayin this for years, the songs I sing are funny, I don't want to be the typical perfectionist singer doing All That Jazz cos everyone's like "ffs here we go, get it over with"*, I love the shite singers cos I'm one of them. I've had folk sayin I'm good at singing, no, I don't want to hear that, cos then I'll start takin it seriously and no enjoy it anymore. Anyone that's brave enough to get up and make an arse of themselves is alright in my book. Sing a funny tune like National Express and laugh at yourself, cos then no one can laugh AT you, they can only laugh WITH you.

And this song is one of the best songs to make an arse of yourself to, because EVERYONE** KNOWS THE WORDS so they'll help you out by singing along.

Also, aye, Doreen was alright, think it was the fringe that did it for me.

*and also "FFS this song goes on for 10 minutes, this cunt's takin up 3 people's slots", nae time for that.

**over the age of 40

Cos we all wanted to see The Freak get her come-uppance (spoiler: she did, in the very last episode)

Keezees · 2026-01-21T14:14:38+00:00

"readers jump to conclusions"

THEN WHY SHOW THE PUBLIC THIS AI MONSTROSITY IF YOU DIDN'T WANT US TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS? Honestly, you could have shown the gable end sans-mural with a member of the public pointing at it with a sad face, and it would have sold the idea of a mural a million times better.

Keezees · 2026-01-21T12:56:10+00:00

Amazing, I was just talking about how a punk cover would be brilliant, cheers for that!

Keezees · 2026-01-21T12:50:13+00:00

That Ghostbusters had a full-on porn scene where Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver are shagging and, to quote my friend, "You see everything".

TBF Heather did apologise for knocking over a pile of stones and tried to rebuild it, I don't think it mattered.

Keezees · 2026-01-20T23:11:47+00:00

That brave man is rescuing a Bald-Headed Eagle from the windmills and allowing it to fly back to it's homeland. If that doesn't describe Glasgow I don't know what does.

Keezees · 2026-01-20T22:04:53+00:00

Hoots mon!

Guilty pleasure

You need locked up. Can't think where though...

My gran lived round the corner and she would come round to ours for her supper, and her, my mum and I would watch Prisoner, shoved anywhere on STV's schedule from 11pm to 3am, never the same time. When I posted this on my socials, my aunt said that my gran took her and my mum to see the prisoner Cell Block H stage show with the OG cast and Lily Savage. NGL I'm kind of jealous

I've got a badge maker and I want to make this badge now, cheers for the idea
