Re: What Music Are You Listening To?

Would you consider sharing your thoughts on her book in the "What Books Are You Reading?" thread on here once you've finished it? Yes of course! My reading paused between parts one and two due to preparing for an important job interview but now I'm free to finish reading! I do really reco...

Re: OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!

I'd love to extend a very warm welcome to the hundreds of new joiners of the forum since 11.31 on Sunday the 21st, each joining after another in a remarkably steady stream. All ye who have common first names and unfamiliar surnames comprised of mostly nonsensical fragments of words, and who have not...

Re: Stupid References are stupid

Stowed my luggage in locker 3-14 in Amsterdam Centraal earlier today. Genuinely was the one directly in front of me when I walked over to the lockers... not hand-picked.

Apologies there was no need for me to be cryptic, when my text was hidden anyways. I was referring to Shilin Forest and how I almost didn't find it. Beautiful level!

Re: Foray in the Forest

Still hugely enjoying this. I'm going to be honest, the difficulty level on Easy is perfect and this is keeping me engaged. A few other wonderful Galaxy mods disengage me due to too much frustrating difficulty. But this one continues to draw me back whenever I have a little free time. I now have two...

The PCKF/KM Technical Problems Thread

There doesn't seem to be a thread about problems with PCKF or KM so rather than make an isolated thread about one incident, let's have a thread we can use to keep such conversations in one place. Since earlier this week there have been intermittent server problems on both forums. It seems to be very...

Re: Foray in the Forest

Now some further thoughts. This mod is very obviously rooted in Keen4 stylistically and, at a deeper level, as a holistic gaming experience. I know it's already been likened in feel to Keen1 and I guess the comparison is probably for similar reasons in both cases. With Keen4 in mind, I need to prais...

Re: The LIVE music thread.

Last Friday I went to see The Vapors (early 80s New Wave legends famous for the one-hit-wonder "Turning Japanese"). Their studio albums from the start of the 80s are of an incredibly high standard and should be listened to hy anyone who likes that era of music (Joy Division, Cure, Squeeze ...

Re: Happy New Year 2024!

Happy New Year to you all! As per tradition, I took my country walk, this time in Buckinghamshire. Very muddy but a highly rewarding experience, with an exceptionally good value sausage and mash and an ale awaiting me at my destination. Anyway, this is a New Year that brings continued, ever amplifyi...

Re: Keen Dreams: dropped veggies

Very cool find if this has indeed not been documented before. Of course, the enemies in your "Another Helping" were inventive too. But now you have an opportunity to make a further sequel. Maybe you could call it the "Forgotten Vegetables" like the legendary unofficial Age of Emp...

Re: Last movie you saw

This weekend I watched (at long last) two 1960s classics, "Dr Strangelove" and "The Graduate". Highly satisfactory weekend of viewing.

Re: The PM Outbox

You apparently wrote a PM to me on 21 Dec but then deleted your message, which I assumed was intentional. If you did delete it then fair enough. But I'm just letting you know in case this was some sort of glitch.

Re: Foray in the Forest

Goodness me this is a mammoth release!! Well done!! There's just so much fun in this!! And somehow it really pulls in influences from all the original games and many mods, putting its own stamp on things whilst delivering surprise after surprise. I'm seeing things I never thought I'd see here! Amazi...
