Retro-gaming is like starting endless number of games, just to abandon them for another one. At the very least, it provides a steady flow of new threads for me here.

I quit at 50.

"Torremolino 73" (2003) is a Spanish comedy, about which I only knew that Mads Mikkelsen was there; before his international breakthrough in "Casino Royale." It's funny to hear him speaking broken Spanish. But that's later; the movie is generally a story about a marriage that accidentally ends up shooting adult movies, with a great success. And some real life drama in the background. A really good movie. And funny.
Also, I live close to Torremolinos, so there's personal connection, too.

However, next time I go a Spanish cinema, I am taking those industrial ear-protecting headphones that I bough a couple of month ago, because the volume level was simply killing my ears.

Due to its 40th anniversary, I got to see Ghibli's "Castle in the Sky" in cinema! Ain't it a treat. I was planning to see it on Netflix, but things were happening, thanks to which I went into the theatre fresh. The first part reminded me of "The Difference Machine," of which I got to the last part, but later, it was like revisiting "Tears of the Kingdom," with floating castle, robots, and ruins. Other than that, it's Ghibli; top quality and all.

Season 3 of "Slow Horses" has even more Jackson Lamb in action, which means that his end-of-career rotting in the Slough House is not working as planned. More better for us. Other than that, I can only repeat myself that having this B-tier of agents makes the whole thing more relatable. Not that the top brass is any better, with their cabinet plots. To note, though, too, the super arc continues, revealing one piece at the end of each season.

Season 7 of "Veep" is its final one. It has less episodes, which I forgot, so the last one took me by surprise; always a good thing. After a bit transitory previous season, Selina Meyer is reaching new lows in her pursuit of presidency. I liked the bittersweet ending that didn't try to find a way out for everyone; no, you go into politics, you're gonna get burnt, one way or another. Anyway, I'll remember those multi-layered insults they serve each other.

Yesterday, I gave "X2: Wolverine's Revenge" a shot. It's loosely based on the movie but focused on Wolverine; I've seen it in 2003, so I don't remember it that much. There was PC/console game of the same title, but it was fully 3D and all. This one here is a 2D hack'n'slach side-scroller. Pixel art is really good here. I added it to favourites, to return to it later. The funny thing is that back then I wouldn't walk next to it, but now, it's a perfect product to play.

Yesterday, I played "TRON 2.0" on GBA, and I generally found it to my liking: there are isometric levels where we control a character of our choice (Tron being one of them), and from those we can teleport to 3-D levels where we control a tank and other TRON-like vehicles; and puzzles. The isometric levels are cool, I dug the pixel art, but the tank levels are tough; might be a skill issue or GBA key mapping. When you die, it's game over, so I'll use RetroArch's state saves next time.

I started "DoroHedoro" from the scratch, and now, six years later, after seeing many animes in the meantime, I am enamoured with the visual style.

"Demolition Man" is a SNES game from 1996, loosely based on the movie with the same title, starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes (for some reason, I remembered it was Dennis Rodman; mayhap due to the hair colour, no clue). It's generally a side-scrolling shooter, with two top-down levels. I found it accidentally while browsing the SNES catalogue on my R36S. I played the first level for a bit, and it fell to my liking, so I returned to it this week.

"Slow Horses," season 2, has a new plot but is also building a super arc across the seasons, it seems; as it's not over. We're seeing more of Jackson Lamb in action, and he proves to be still having it as a spy. It's almost as if season 1 was meant to merely prepare the ground for him. I like how the show utilises those misfits and losers, to quote to opening song, which creates more relatable outcome than James-Bond-like super-spy stories. By the end of the day, we're only humans.

"The Carpenter's Son" (2025) was supposed to be a supernatural horror, but I didn't find too many scary parts. It's an adaptation of one of apocryphas, and it feels like one, more than a horror. Nicholas Cage plays the titular carpenter and Mary is played by FKA Twigs, whom I didn't know until now (she reminded me of Mia Goth). I liked the dual Satan and the scenography, which felt like well researched, though I couldn't say how accurate it was.

"Slow Horses" is a spy show based on books I have never heard of. Slough House, a dead-end post in London ran by Jackson Lamb, where agents are being sent to as punishment, ends up as a part of a larger scheme. The main highlight for me was marvellous performance from Gary Oldman, whose comments would grant him a role in "Veep." The writing was good, with well-built and well-used Chekhov's guns. There are 4 more seasons.

Season 6 of #Veep" is set some months after Selina Meyer lost the presidential election, and I found it interesting, this follow-up of what happens "after the end." Character wise, we have the same pack. I am wondering if Selina became a worse person this season, or perhaps, she was always like that, but it was not so evident to me? No clue, but she's an absolutely abhorrent person: to her daughter, to Gary, to everyone. We'll see where she'll get in the final season.

I've got interested in "The Chaos Engine" recently, having fond memories of the game, from my Amiga A1200. It inspired me to buy "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, as apparently, the plot of the game is roughly inspired by the book. I went to GOG today, and there it was at the price of 2 euros, even less, so, despite the bad reviews, I decided to buy it. I played a little, but I'll try the Mega Drive port on R36S later, too.

How 'bout obliterating a company website because I cancelled a subscription? 😅 #FreakyFriday

And finally, if you're into nostalgic Tetrises (Tetres?), I found this Pico-8 version that renders a GameBoy and you play game inside the game. Crazy, in the best possible meaning!
