Inspired by this post (I know it mentions my blog but that’s not why I’m linking to it), I thought it would be fun to start doing regular roundups of blog and site posts that I enjoyed. I kinda did these before a while ago but I thought it would be good to do them again now that I’m following so many different blogs through my RSS feed now that Cohost is shutting down. Google search sucks now so the only way people can see cool stuff is from others sharing it. So if you enjoy these posts, subscribe to their RSS feeds through your reader of choice.

Eniko reflects on her history with the Ultima franchise and what it means to her on her personal blog.

The developer of classic Macintosh games like Glider and Glypha goes through his history of abandoned games.

I’ve enjoyed following along with David Lindsey Pittman’s blog updates on the development of Eldritch 2. I was a fan of the first game and this looks good too.

Renga in Blue is a blog devoted to attempting to play through every single adventure game in order of release. The most recent post about is about Dungeon Adventure (1982).

Thanks to Cohost, I’ve become aware of the concept of Rosting. They’re posts directly to the RSS feed, meaning they only show up in the feed of your reader and nowhere else. It’s a lot of fun whenever I see one popping into my feed, like it’s a post just for me. If you’d like to see some, consider subscriber to the inventor(?) of Rosting, Adam Ledoux’s (Bitsy creator) blog, and Nicky Flowers on your RSS feed.

Misty has a very good post about some fonts that were on a floppy disk.

Indie Tsushin has an interview with the developer of Missile Dancer 2.

Gretchen has a post about how the internet is getting worse. Maybe we can all work together to make it a little better and feel less small.
