Hey and folks. What are you playing / streaming at the moment, and should I check it out?

My current playlist includes Crow Country and Manor Lords for review, and Tenchu and Horizon Zero Dawn for fun.

On my lunch today I began a new settlement in Manor Lords. I could think of no better inspiration for the village name (and lord o' the manor) than Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, which was suggested during our stream.

Llamedos is growing nicely. Even if it does seem to rain near incessantly

Never let anybody tell you that D&D night at the RP Haven is unhealthy. Complete lies!

This is another of my favourites, just because it confused my son so much 😅 Are you old enough to remember rewinding a video game with a pencil? ✏️

Seeing as SFB Games put so much effort into turning their review guide into a PS1 manual... I've gone to the effort of making this really bad cover art for Crow Country :D I know it's awful, but it makes me happy to look at it.

I am not 100% that Crow Country was the best choice for games to relax in bed with. In the dark, dark bedroom. Eep.

We are so close to our 600 follower target on Twitch.

We don't expect blind follows but if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love it if you could check out our videos and see if it's something you'd like to keep up with 😍❤️

We've dipped into Crow Country, and have been fully creeped out already 😂

I need to know if they put "That Doesn't Work" as a deliberate Discworld reference but I've been triggered by it anyway 😂

Also of note. Unlike actual 90s games Crow Country doesn't breach the Geneva Convention.

I know I bang on about video game manuals on the regular... but look at this!

We've been sent a copy of the new PS1-inspired Crow Country and the review guide (helpful info about the game) is designed like a PS1 manual!

Lunch was taken up with doing some more work on the manifest for the NerdHaven collection sale, i've now updated some of the software https://johnnyblanchard.com/sales/nerdhaven-manifest-sale.htm

If you missed the original message then I need to sell the whole collection, for anyone able to get to Basingstoke with a van you can get an immediate retro collection for £6000

@jonn_blanchard Just the plan ones. I know what I've got.

In our mid-disc break it's very likely that we're going to head into II for our Retro Sunday night streams. But is there something in here you'd like us to move on to after?

@guilhermedea It has been so under-appreciated but it's a favourite here for me

If you've always wanted to tell a story, capture your players' imaginations, constantly make them second guess themselves and generally torture people, being a Dungeon Master may be for you.

If it is, check out our TTRPG tees and mugs at https://store.streamelements.com/pixelbandits

Going live in just a couple of minutes. https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits

Retro video games, played on original PS One hardware. A welcoming and inclusive chat community. Anonymity for those with social anxiety. Full nostalgia 😍❤️

Back in Final Fantasy VII tonight from 19:30 at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits (playing on original PS One hardware).

One of my proudest moments, today. Our eldest Micro-Bandit asked to watch the stream VOD and he's even gone back to it after dinner. Must be doing something right.

If you'd like to see more of Manor Lords, join me on Tuesday as we build a completely fresh settlement.

https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits

My little town of Zweiau is going well currently, with 36 families currently loving village life.

@ronald it's early access so there are definitely bugs and things. Not quite ready to give a difinitive yes / no but am enjoying it from what I've played so far! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeC6UdQb/

If you're a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn then you. Might like this screenshot. Perfect for mobile wallpapers and lock screens. Thought I'd share it with the world ❤️

It's a bit buggy (as we expect any early access title to be) but I've been really enjoying Manor Lords as we ramp up for our early access review.

What's your favourite thing?

All in all, is probably my favourite "thing". My Mastermind specialist subject.

But the video games. Oh the video games. Incredible casting. Wonderful humour. Insane object puzzles / clever lateral thinking exercises. And Rincewind.

@gaprogman So jealous that you got to interview Greg Barnett!

The first discworld game was what the majority of our twitch community joined to watch in the first place.

The second game was my gateway into the discworld. both play an incredibly large part in my life. kudos!

PixelBandits,
@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

@gaprogman that was me, too!! Formula karts, judge Dredd and cool boarders 2 on there as well ❤️

PixelBandits,
@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

@gaprogman I've got the full games. I really regret getting rid of my demo discs though. I had almost all of them. 😭

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

Hey Bandits, what are you playing today? I've been thrashing Manor Lords, B-Movie, Ready or Not and the very original Command and Conquer.

A heady mix of medieval settlement building, alien abduction, tactical SWAT action and bad guy operations.
