Is it just me? Falling in love just a little bit with Wandering Village's cartoon aesthetic?

Vibes of Tintin and Adventure Time. And a nice little resource management sim and settlement builder to boot!

It's been a decade since I last played. Don't kind sharing that I'm still in the 80% range on hard โค๏ธ

If you're a fan of 90s' survival horror, Crow Country may be one for you to take a look at!

We've been checking it out on PC and Xbox Series X (with thanks to SFB Games) and you can find our full video and extended written review live now at https://www.pixelbandits.org/2024/05/crow-country-review

Hey and folks. What are you playing / streaming at the moment, and should I check it out?

My current playlist includes Crow Country and Manor Lords for review, and Tenchu and Horizon Zero Dawn for fun.

On my lunch today I began a new settlement in Manor Lords. I could think of no better inspiration for the village name (and lord o' the manor) than Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, which was suggested during our stream.

Llamedos is growing nicely. Even if it does seem to rain near incessantly

Never let anybody tell you that D&D night at the RP Haven is unhealthy. Complete lies!

This is another of my favourites, just because it confused my son so much ๐Ÿ˜… Are you old enough to remember rewinding a video game with a pencil? โœ๏ธ

If medieval peasant management is your thing, you may want to take a look at this one. Manor Lords is an early access title, and we're getting into now at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits

Join us now to find an inclusive and welcoming community, and a safe online nerd space for all. And also dad jokes. Far too many dad jokes.

Seeing as SFB Games put so much effort into turning their review guide into a PS1 manual... I've gone to the effort of making this really bad cover art for Crow Country :D I know it's awful, but it makes me happy to look at it.

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

I am not 100% that Crow Country was the best choice for games to relax in bed with. In the dark, dark bedroom. Eep.

We are so close to our 600 follower target on Twitch.

We don't expect blind follows but if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love it if you could check out our videos and see if it's something you'd like to keep up with ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

We've dipped into Crow Country, and have been fully creeped out already ๐Ÿ˜‚

I need to know if they put "That Doesn't Work" as a deliberate Discworld reference but I've been triggered by it anyway ๐Ÿ˜‚

Also of note. Unlike actual 90s games Crow Country doesn't breach the Geneva Convention.

I know I bang on about video game manuals on the regular... but look at this!

We've been sent a copy of the new PS1-inspired Crow Country and the review guide (helpful info about the game) is designed like a PS1 manual!

Lunch was taken up with doing some more work on the manifest for the NerdHaven collection sale, i've now updated some of the software https://johnnyblanchard.com/sales/nerdhaven-manifest-sale.htm

If you missed the original message then I need to sell the whole collection, for anyone able to get to Basingstoke with a van you can get an immediate retro collection for ยฃ6000

@jonn_blanchard Just the plan ones. I know what I've got.

In our mid-disc break it's very likely that we're going to head into II for our Retro Sunday night streams. But is there something in here you'd like us to move on to after?

@PixelBandits@nerdculture.de avatar

@guilhermedea It has been so under-appreciated but it's a favourite here for me

If you've always wanted to tell a story, capture your players' imaginations, constantly make them second guess themselves and generally torture people, being a Dungeon Master may be for you.

If it is, check out our TTRPG tees and mugs at https://store.streamelements.com/pixelbandits

Going live in just a couple of minutes. https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits

Retro video games, played on original PS One hardware. A welcoming and inclusive chat community. Anonymity for those with social anxiety. Full nostalgia ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Back in Final Fantasy VII tonight from 19:30 at https://twitch.tv/pixelbandits (playing on original PS One hardware).

One of my proudest moments, today. Our eldest Micro-Bandit asked to watch the stream VOD and he's even gone back to it after dinner. Must be doing something right.

If you'd like to see more of Manor Lords, join me on Tuesday as we build a completely fresh settlement.

My little town of Zweiau is going well currently, with 36 families currently loving village life.

@ronald it's early access so there are definitely bugs and things. Not quite ready to give a difinitive yes / no but am enjoying it from what I've played so far! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeC6UdQb/

If you're a fan of Horizon Zero Dawn then you. Might like this screenshot. Perfect for mobile wallpapers and lock screens. Thought I'd share it with the world โค๏ธ
