Thank you for playing!

Transfer Point is now available! It’s a point-and-click adventure game about regret, forgiveness, and email. It was made in World Builder, a Mac app from 1986. You can play it free in your web browser. InvisiClues are also available here if you need a hint! https://robotspacer.software/transfer-point.html #MARCHintosh

Quid Pro Quo was great, and quite a challenge to piece together! You can download it or play it free in your browser here: https://mausimus.itch.io/quid-pro-quo

Tonight I’m playing Quid Pro Quo, a deduction game for MS-DOS made my @npub1ds7…wtwt and @npub1zsw…g3vk last year. I’m very excited to dig into this mystery. https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

Last week, @npub1k7x…ceaf announced that they’ve started testing their World Builder engine, with support for hundreds of old Mac adventure games. Here’s why I’m excited about it, and why you should be too! https://robotspacer.tv/news/scummvm-world-builder.html

It's difficult to think of two computer programs that had a greater impact on me than MacPaint and HyperCard. They both helped me, a kid that just wanted to draw pictures, realize that computers were unquestionably for me too. Thanks for everything, Bill Atkinson. https://www.wired.com/story/bill-atkinson-apple-engineer-dies/

Tonight I’m playing the first known LGBTQ game, Caper in the Castro by C.M. Ralph! It’s a point-and-click murder mystery made in HyperCard, released in 1989 via BBS. “It’s not just a game… it’s a Gayme!” https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #MARCHintosh

I’m continuing Myst tonight! Last week I solved a piano puzzle and took a rocket to a new Age! It’s quite misty here, and the sky is bright cyan 🤔 https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch #MARCHintosh

Happy #MARCHintosh! I’m playing Myst tonight for the first time in 30 years! But first I want to talk about HyperCard, a wonderful program by Bill Atkinson that inspired not just Cyan and many other game devs, but also the web. We can still learn a lot from it! https://www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

The most important part of a video game manual is the page where there’s a cartoon of the main character playing their own video game
Second most important part is where they are calling the hint line

AllTinker recently released a patch for Gabriel Knight 1 that fixes the worst of its unfortunate audio issues: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=103755 You can download the patch here: https://alltinker.itch.io/gk-speech-fix Even better, they’ve worked with sluicebox to submit a patch to ScummVM: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/6292 Just a checkbox to fix it! ✨ So excited to play this again now.

In macOS 15, Apple removed the option to right-click and choose “Open” to bypass Gatekeeper and run an unsigned app. Instead, you open the app, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, and click a button to allow it. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=saqachfa
This process doesn’t work in macOS 15.1. Given the notice above, this seems like an unintentional bug to me. https://hackaday.com/2024/11/01/apple-forces-the-signing-of-applications-in-macos-sequoia-15-1/
There’s an easy workaround! Remove the quarantine bit in Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Example.app

I finally ordered some of AnnK’s Dank Zines recently and they just showed up the other day. The quality is really nice and they came with a bunch of cute stickers! Had to get the issue with Mac Games and Swamp Witch obviously.
Immediately after I ordered these there’s a new issue with The Crimson Diamond on the cover soo… time to place another order https://dankzineshop.bigcartel.com

Since I got my MacBook Air I keep having an issue where, as far as I can tell, some unknown app that doesn't have UI is activating and taking focus. It happens maybe 2-3 times a day. When it happens, the app I'm using is still the front-most visible app, but it's no longer active—so if I'm typing, or trying to use a keyboard command, it doesn't work. I've tried to track down the cause in Console, but there's so much data there I can't tell what's going on. Any idea now to track this down? #MacOS

The Zen of Kayaking constantly surprised and delighted me. The three points I missed will haunt me. I loved all the little nods to Infocom classics. Recommended if you enjoy text adventures or are interested in trying one. https://pixel-turkey.itch.io/the-zen-of-kayaking
