I have been caught in the grind of scheduling content for Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for August. I’m about half-done with the month. It takes a significant amount of time to put even the simplest posts together, especially when looking back at all of the previous content and tryting to determine if it is relevant. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.
Spotify Music playlist for July 2023
Below is the same YouTube playlist.
Weekly Finds
I pull a lot of the items about gaming and movie news here from a number of sources: The Atari Age forums, Retro Indie News, Time Extension, IGN, Retro Hour podcast, Itch.io, Facebook, Twitter, etc. What shows up here will change weekly depending on what I happen to find in the wild. I try to include the original sources in the links.
Ooze: The Escape (Indie Retro News)
As Ooze, the player navigates the slime through corridors and laboratories suing gravity-shifting abilities to escape dangerous environments.
Daily Drop Roundup
You can get daily drops in your socials wherever you live. First Facebook link is the the Nostalgia Drop page, and the second is to the group. The group is more fun.
