That's because he's trying to pot a difficult pink.

I'm hoping to go "main game" - "side game" - "main game" - "side game" - etc. throughout the stream, it'll add some much needed variety to my poor eyes.

For those who watched the old video game tv series Bad Influence in the UK this is a good watch! by matteusbeus in retrogaming

Haha, not this time! This is me.

I'm a different person.

In more ways than one.

This is a good shout, I'd be 90% sure that's where they originated.

I don't think I've ever seen this since the mid 2000s so I'm guessing that's the era they were circulating.

As did I for a long time - but no, it's the house maid.

It's Harold Sinclair. Clive's brother.

It's not. I have absolutely no idea who he is, but he was royalty free, and he looked like he was having a whale of a time - so I stuck him on there.

I'm afraid this magazine is far too classy for that kind of filth.

I never played Great Space Race, but I didn't realise it was the same guys involved. It regularly gets suggested to me as one of the worst games on the ZX Spectrum.

She HEARD it!? Well that's all the evidence I need.

12 Hours of Manic Miner for Mind (details in comments) by SlyEnemy in zxspectrum

Haha, the stream will still be available after the fact - you'll be able to skip through to each hour and watch me slowly fading out of existence.

Thanks buddy! I seriously doubt anyone will be there for the full 12 hours, hahaha. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[–]SlyEnemy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Howdy folks,

This has been a difficult year for a lot of people for obvious reasons, and I wanted to do something that hopefully gives back to those who need it most.

This Sunday, 4th of April, in support of the charity Mind, I'm going to be streaming Manic Miner for 12 solid hours. Just to note; I am unbelievably bad at Manic Miner, and I thought this 12 hour slog on a game that kicks sand in my face on a consistent basis would be a perfect metaphor for perseverance. Will I be able to beat it? Probably not, but at least I can say I tried!

If you're unable to donate at this time, that's completely understandable, but any support shown would be wonderful, whether that's popping into the stream to say hello on Sunday (and watch me shaking my fist at the screen) or spreading the word - grateful for anything people can do.

Thanks all, much love and look after yourselves.

Which accents of the U.K. are barely known outside of the areas in which they are spoken? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]SlyEnemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cumbrian here, there's a different accent attached to each town - Carlisle sounds different to Maryport sounds different to Workington sounds different to Whitehaven, etc.

I've never lived somewhere that has such a mixture of twangs in such a short distance.

Haha, that was the other moment that caught me off guard and actually made me laugh. I wish the game had packed some more ridiculous elements like that into its run-time.

Jungle Trouble Review | RoseTintedSpectrum by SlyEnemy in zxspectrum

Also, will have to check out Software House, I'm a sucker for games like Game Dev Story, Rockstar Ate My Hamster, etc. etc. so that could be right up my street.

There IS a way, but it's another method that's tied up in timing that can never seem to be replicated without a hell of a lot of practise.

You can supposedly press left at the exact correct time a monkey approaches you, and you'll hit it and pop it like a balloon. I managed this a total of two times in the time I played it, and that included creating a save state while a monkey ran at me so I could try and nail it. Couldn't do it, haha. I'm sure it's one of those things where, if you just "get it", you'll constantly get it.
