@CharlesCecil Damn. I thought it was just me and my dad stuck on the goat puzzle. We couldn't figure it out for the life of us. We put it on hold. Then, when I was collecting my papers for my paper round, I saw the guide on the cover a PS magazine. I got an advance to get it

@Rosie_Caddick @CharlesCecil I have some good memories and some bad memories about point-and-click adventure games. Bad memories are usually something related to extremely bizarre, absurd and illogical ways to solve puzzles.

@CharlesCecil I absolutely loved playing this on ps1 demo disc and pc back in the day but £40 for this version seems incredibly steep.

Games marketing is broken. After raising over $50M to support and work with hundreds of studios over the last 6 years, I find that the biggest problem is studios’ lack of direct connection with their players. Over the last six years, I’ve watched talented teams struggle because they never had a clear way to reach, learn from, and grow with players over time. Without that connection, everything becomes harder - validation, iteration, community growth, and retention all turn into guesswork. For most of the games industry’s history, platforms have controlled identity, communication, and distribution, which are invaluable to a game’s success. Apple limited how studios could collect and use player contact information outside the App Store, and Steam still doesn’t give studios access to the contact details of players who wishlist or sign up for playtests. Studios are left without a direct relationship with the audience they’re trying to serve. As a result, studios rely on fragmented tools and spreadsheets to manage players across different stages of development and live operations, with no continuity from first contact through long-term engagement. Today, that changes with the launch of FirstLook 1.0. FirstLook is the first Player Relationship Platform built specifically for games. It gives studios everything they need to connect with players across the full lifecycle, including playtests and feedback, community and communications, analytics, rewards, and creator programs, all in one place. We’ve been building under the radar, but FirstLook already powers hundreds of studios, from indies to publishers like Krafton, ArenaNet, and Skybound Entertainment, connecting millions of players with the developers who make the games they love. As part of the launch, we’re introducing a brand new limited time free plan, with access to all our features for up to 500 players. You can set this up now in under 10 minutes. If you want to learn more, book a demo and we guarantee that you will save you time and money and help you grow. Links in comments!

Ep. 15 Free The Money | Angel Pui: The Serial Entrepreneur Behind Brave Games I am joined by serial entrepreneur Angel, a builder who has successfully launched companies across fashion, marketplaces, digital health, NFTs, and now Web3 gaming. Angel’s journey starts in a family of engineers and inventors, where she learned to think in systems, solve problems aggressively, and analyze metrics from a young age. Instead of following the traditional engineering path, she chose design, eventually launching Weddingful, a marketplace that became the “Airbnb for weddings” and scaled to over 100,000 users before being acquired. From there, she pivoted into digital health, co-founding a company that helped match patients with clinical trials, accelerating access to potentially life-saving treatments. Along the way, she mastered forecasting, A/B testing, and data-driven growth. These skills she later applied to flipping Birkin bags on a massive scale (using Python scripts to identify arbitrage opportunities) and launching NFT projects with Fortune 500 brands. But the real focus of this conversation is her latest venture: Brave Games. Angel is now leading the development of Brave Games, the first ever reality-style, vault-heist competition built directly into the Brave browser. Instead of passively consuming content, users actively participate in a live, evolving game where alliances form, strategy matters, and outcomes aren’t producer controlled, but user driven. With over 100 million Brave users and tens of thousands already participating in early rounds, Brave Games represents a major shift in digital engagement, blending Web2 scale with Web3 incentives, privacy layers, NFTs, and community led gameplay. Angel explains the vision: turning browsers from passive tools into interactive entertainment platforms, potentially becoming the “Netflix of reality-style games.” If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, AI-driven business building, Web3 innovation, or the future of interactive entertainment, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis just got a ton of new gameplay footage, as well as a whole load of new information from previews on this remake Here are the highlights: - Lara's movement and gameplay generally described as feeling more arcade-y and less realism focused like the reboot trilogy, was there is a lot more dodging, rolling and doing classic Lara flips. - The story has a far more wacky, light tone rather than the more ultra serious tone of the reboot trilogy, as you take on dinosaurs - Eurogamer mentioned the game feels "AA" in a charming way, not quite as high level cinematic as an Uncharted, more focused on being a fun, lightweight adventure as og TR was - There is no yellow paint to point where you can climb, Grappling across ledges is now far more involved than the reboot trilogy - Lara still has the long jumping animation from the original game - Strong focus on puzzles in the demo previewers played, stuff like pushing crates, finding cogs, clearing debris, all you expect from Tomb Raider puzzles - Crafting returns, such as healing medicines - There are collectibles which can be used to unlock skills - Combat is done with the dual pistols, Lara has a special ability that allows her to slow down time and begin to flip around while shooting at enemies - Alix Wilton Regan acting as Lara Croft is specifically mentioned as being an excellent take on the character - Combat and puzzle difficulty are both customizable fully and can be changed separately Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis releases February 12th 2027 and costs $59.99 So far, this remake looks like it's not going to be anything mindblowing but it will be a fun entry into the franchise and most importantly, re-introduce classic Lara to a new audience. I'll definitely be playing and reviewing this next year so stay tuned for that!

[Market Bubble Ep.13 RECAP] huge shoutout to Ansem 🐂🀄️ and Banks for another great episode. this week's conversation went far beyond charts and price action. the biggest theme was how content, trading and distribution are starting to merge into the same business. here are my biggest takeaways (my pov): 1) trading is becoming a creator business > the best traders are becoming creators > people follow personalities as much as they follow PnL > trading in public builds trust faster than polished educational content > the next generation of finance creators will grow by sharing the process, not just the results 2) social trading feels inevitable the workflow is changing. people want one place where they can: > discover high signal traders > understand their thesis > follow positions > learn while participating it's becoming much more than charts and execution. 3) trading already has everything that makes games addictive > progression > competition > leaderboards > rewards > skill expression Robinhood proved that better UX brings in millions of new users. crypto has an opportunity to push that idea even further. 4) crypto doesn't need better products it needs better storytellers. great infrastructure already exists. the bottleneck is helping people understand it through creators, clips and communities. distribution is becoming one of the most valuable assets in the industry. 5) traders are becoming entertainers watching someone make high conviction decisions in real time creates a completely different experience. that's why names like Thread Guy and Kimchi are growing so quickly. people aren't only following the trade. they're following the person behind it. 6) trust compounds faster than capital Trader Mayne wasn't used as an example because of his returns. he built credibility first. that credibility became a business. the business created equity. it's a playbook more crypto creators are likely to follow over the next few years. 7) creator brands may become billion dollar businesses MrBeast is proof that attention can evolve into real enterprise value. crypto gives creators something new. a public asset that communities can participate in alongside them. that's what makes creator ecosystems interesting to watch. 8) leverage doesn't forgive good ideas Leopold identified the AI trade earlier than almost everyone. the thesis wasn't the problem. risk management was. one mistake on leverage can erase years of great decisions. 9) volatility is becoming universal AI stocks are moving with the speed and volatility people normally associate with crypto. higher participation, leverage and faster information flow are changing every market. the line between traditional finance and crypto keeps getting thinner. 10) content may become crypto's strongest growth engine Market Bubble isn't only building a podcast. it's building an ecosystem where: > creators earn > clippers earn > traders build audiences > brands fund distribution everyone benefits as the network grows. 11) the next cycle rewards people who do more than trade builders, creators, educators, designers, traders. the biggest opportunities sit where those skill sets overlap. (LOOKING BACK) the biggest opportunity may not be trading itself. it may be building businesses around trading. the people creating content, earning trust and building communities today could end up owning the most valuable assets of the next cycle.

5 years ago, I created a fundraiser on Donate-NG to buy a laptop. I had just been admitted to the university to study Computer Science. But I didn't own a laptop. That was a very big setback for me. The Job I had then was paying 500 Naira per 1000 Word article I wrote. At the time, I was studying with a Tecno Y6 that had passed from my older sister to my older brother, then to me. (A generational phone 😅) I kept asking myself: How was I supposed to survive the department like this? To make things worse, my dad was battling prostate cancer. Asking for money wasn’t even an option. So on October 7th, 2020, in the heat of COVID, I did the only thing I thought I could do. I made this YouTube video begging good Nigerians to help me raise money for a laptop. That video is still online and yes… It’s embarrassing now 😅 Nobody watched it, and Not a single naira was raised. ----- That moment could have broken me. But instead, something clicked. I realized no one was coming to save me. So I decided to take control of my life. That same October; • I got my first Web3 gig as a community engager • The pay was ₦6,000 per month • It wasn’t much, but it was hope Then in December 2020, everything changed. • A VC paid me $500 to engage across the projects they invested in. For the first time in my life, I had real money in my hands. I withdrew ₦160,000, and I bought my first laptop. My First Laptop: That laptop is still with me today. I keep it with me as a reminder of my sheer grit and hustle. From that moment on, everything began to compound. I went on to work with and contribute to multiple Web3 and tech projects, building communities, onboarding users, managing growth, running programs, and shipping real impact across Africa. I grew from: • A student with no laptop • To help hundreds of people get jobs through my academy - The Void Academy (Many students from there are now earning working remotely) • To onboard tens of thousands of users across Africa • To manage ambassadors, communities, and growth teams Today: • I work as a User Acquisition & Marketing Manager earning a six-figure salary (₦) • I earn 6 figures (₦) bi-weekly from X creator payouts • I can afford any laptop I want • I use a phone I could only dream of back then And today… I’m officially launching the waitlist for my first product as a founder. ----- A Phone and A Dream (A Phone and A Dream | Waitlist Live) This product is deeply personal. Because I’ve lived this story. I know that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not, and getting opportunities today starts with access to basic tools. A Phone and A Dream exists to change that. ----- So, what exactly is A Phone and A Dream? A Phone and A Dream is a social-impact platform that connects device donors with people who lack access to basic tech tools: students, builders, creators, and professionals, using the Avalanche🔺 blockchain to make every donation transparent, traceable, and impactful. We believe access to the right device can be the difference between potential and progress. I'm living proof of that, so are many of you reading this right now. This isn’t just about giving devices. It’s about unlocking opportunity. Devices that can be donated include: 1. Phones: Smartphones of all brands (Android & iOS) 2: Laptops: Windows laptops 3. MacBooks: ThinkPads and similar work machines 4. Tablets: iPads, Android tablets 5. Desktop PCs: Complete desktop setups 6. Monitors & Peripherals: Monitors/displays, Keyboards, Mice 7. External Storage: HDDs, SSDs, USB drives 8. Creator Tools: Ring lights, Microphones, Webcams, Tripods And this is important, Devices don’t have to be brand new. We accept: - New Devices - Used but functional devices - Devices that need refurbishing If it can be repaired, upgraded, or repurposed, it can still change a life. Many tech bros/girls buy a new device yearly; the old device you no longer use could be someone else’s first opportunity. ----- Benefits to You as a donor: You don’t just donate and hope for the best. You can: • Track every device donated • See where it goes • And you can follow the recipient milestones to keep updated with how they've effectively used the device (No more donations without accountability.) • You get to know the real impact of your generosity We’ve seen incredible people like I D R I S, Sir Dickson, SUPREMOS 🤍🐘, Ayilola of Nigeria /Laptop Guy 🩺 🇳🇬 🇬🇧🇺🇸, King.sol 🇶🇦 (with Rainbow's Adolf),Xeusthegreat (♟,♟), WILSON, C W E , Farmercist 👨‍🌾 🦅, just to name a few donate devices to people. The Laptop Guy (Ayilola of Nigeria /Laptop Guy 🩺 🇳🇬 🇬🇧🇺🇸) has been trying to help millions of Nigerians with devices. But one major challenge has always been tracking, reporting, and accountability on both end including the recipients, so he can tell the extent of his impact. That’s exactly what A Phone and A Dream solves. If you come onboard as a Donor on A Phone and A Dream | Waitlist Live, you get to see: • Where their device went • Who received it • What it enabled ----- Benefits to You as a recipient: You're not getting charity, you're receiving opportunity, access to tools that unlock learning, work, income, and dignity. So you don't pass through what I did. • You get a device after being approved • You get to participate in bounties, tasks, and hackathons on the platform to earn funds • You get a portfolio dashboard that you can consistently update your milestones and be accountable to your donor. ----- Lastly, we’re currently participating in the Avalanche Build Games Hackathon. This is me asking for your help, don't fade me again 😩. If you know: • Someone who can donate a device (new or refurbished) • Someone who can amplify this mission • Share the website with them • Also help me like, repost, quote, and share this post Please tag them in the comments, tag accounts that can help amplify this mission, and let the world see. Part of the rewards if we get selected and go on to win the hackathon will be used to fund new devices to go live on the platform. (Help us make this happen.) If you’re a recipient, you can visit our website (Website is in my bio and also in the comment) and join the waitlist. ⚠️ Important: The first batch of devices priority will go to users on the waitlist, our Day 1 champs. A Phone and A Dream is here to change lives by giving you access. You can help this mission by: • Tagging potential donors • Tagging amplifiers and your friends • Sharing our website • Encouraging people to join the waitlist Five years ago, I begged for a laptop. Today, I’m building a system so others don’t have to beg. ♥ The website is on my bio and in the comment, also see it on A Phone and A Dream | Waitlist Live's bio.
