Was playing The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on NES for first time and noticed it felt kinda familiar. Then realised what it reminded me of and did some sprite comparisons.

Top. Shatterhand. Developed by Natsume. Published by Jaleco in US, December 1991.

Bottom: The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Developed by Chris Gray Enterprises. Published by Jaleco in US, January 1993.

Methinks Jaleco had CGE use Shatterhand as the basis for Young Indy.

Just in case folk need reminding of Eric Clapton's hugely racist rant in 1976 which he later on drink and drugs. An excuse he also used in 1999 when admitting he raped his then wife Pattie Boyd numerous times in the 70s too.

I censored the slurs but you can probably guess what they are.

Ok so for ages I thought my PC just wouldn't boot into it's BIOS. That somehow I'd broken something.

Turns out it was booting just fine... but displaying it to the TV (which wasn't even switched on) which is connected to my PC via HDMI. Which apparently has greater 'boot priority' over either monitor which are connected via DisplayPort.

And from googling, there doesn't seem to be anyway to change this behaviour other than "unplug the TV from the PC" which is a bit annoying.

"A former Metropolitan Police officer has received a minimum jail sentence of more than 13 years after being convicted of 10 counts of rape, including three of raping a child under the age of 13."

Another rapist / child abuser we had in our police force.

"We understand the concerns around Mitchell being cleared to join the Met after an initial report of rape was made in 2017"

So he was a rapist then became a cop then raped some more...

fuck's sake

It's weird when Christians like Jim Olsen say "spare the rod, spoil the child when trying to justify corporal punishment of children and claim it's from the Bible.

The actual phrase from the King James Bible, Proverbs, 13:24 it actually states: “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

The rod isn't for beating though. It's for guidance. Like that of a Shepherd. He guides the sheep with the rod. He doesn't hit them with with it.

Don't know whose video this or whose pet rats those are but I really miss when mine would leap right at me like that. It was cute.

I didn't die.

I really miss them.

"Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York's top court, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial.

The New York Court of Appeals found that prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the trial.

The ruling said that meant he was tried on past behaviour and not solely on the crimes he was charged with."

the fuck?

"Laurence Fox has been ordered to pay £90,000 in damages each to two people he referred to as "paedophiles".

The actor-turned-politician lost a High Court case with former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal.

The remarks on X, formerly Twitter, came in an exchange about Sainsbury's marking Black History Month."

Hah. Fuck you, Laurence Fox.

"Author JK Rowling has reignited a row with Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe over the issue of transgender identity and rights.

The writer hit out at "celebs" who she said had "used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors".

"Rowling said she spoke out about transgender issues in part due to her personal experience of domestic abuse and sexual assault."

Yeah, by her ex-husband who WASN'T TRANSGENDER.

Please don't #lightitupblue as it supports the awful #autismspeaks that has always seen autism as a 'disease' to be 'cured' and among many, many other issues, in their current '100 Day Kit for Parents' they advise parents of recently diagnosed autistic children to 'grieve for the loss of their non-autistic child' as if we are changelings that killed the 'real' child and replaced them. Please #lightitupred or gold instead

How did I end up here?

I've never even been a member of Reddit. Never had an account. And with this being the latest reddit posts I've somehow landed on, that has made my eyes roll I don't think I'll ever be.

"North Korea TV censors Alan Titchmarsh's trousers"

"Central TV aired a 2010 edition of Alan Titchmarsh's Garden Secrets for its morning audience, but made sure that viewers could not see his jeans.

Jeans are seen as a symbol of western imperialism in the secretive state and as such are banned.

North Korea's rules prohibiting jeans have been in place since the 1990s."

Dumbass rules in countries run by dumbass politicians.

It's kinda funny that the title screen of RoboCop 3 on the NES gives the child a gun when the film was incredibly kid-friendly compared to the first two. :P

Accidentally broke the neck joint on my new fave He-Man figure. Is ok. It broke in a place where it still fits into the neck, retains most of the movement and stays in quite secure but it still bugs me that I broke it. Oh well. Accidents happen.

When I was a kid I thought all Phyllis from Coronation Street had the coolest hair of any old lady. PURPLE!

I haven't watched that show since then so I looked up when she was last in it. 1996. And the actress died in 1997. Damn.

Bring back the purple!
It's better than the 'Karen' hairstyle anyways. :D

What the heck is Trump even talking about? Abortion AFTER birth?! :O

If that happens, that ain't abortion, that's infanticide which is a whole other subject and not what pro-abortion folk are protesting for!

My old game making buddy Pug Fugly felt like doing a remake of the old ZX Spectrum fave 3D Death Chase and has posted a preview video of development so far. Looks fun. :)

Normally Suicide Squad wouldn't interest me after a couple of mediocre movies and ... that game... but this comic caught my attention because it's written by Nicole Maines, who played trans superhero Dreamer on CW's Supergirl, and these days she writer Dreamer's stories in the main DC comics universe.

And I enjoyed issue 1. Solid. :)

Lee Anderson defects to Reform UK. Which is good in a way because they're crap like the Tories but they have no power.

"All I want is my country back," he added.

Who does he think has his country? Oh... right, the Islamists... in his imagination.

"Mr Anderson was a "person of great integrity", Mr Tice added."

Refusing to apologise for Islamophobic comments (or past racist comments about slavery and BLM) does not exactly show much integrity.

"WHAT the heck with afro Grayskull?!?"

Is that racist? I feel like it's racist.

The Revelation incarnation of King Grayskull has received a lot of racist responses so I wouldn't be surprised if it's racist.
