Hahahahaha! Yes! However, I'm probably the worst pirate you've ever heard of - my Entroware Orion i5 (recently promoted to my daily workhorse) is simply named after a location in Five Nights at Freddy's.

Oddly, none of my machines have yet found themselves named after a location from a Bomberman game...

Oh wow, those are spectacular!

A couple of months ago we were throwing away old computers at work. I saved this puppy and turned it into a little gaming system. I've upgraded with old parts I had laying around, with the exception of the RX 580 which I bought used.

I just did some simple upsizing on some graphics from Wario Blast Featuring Bomberman to add a handful of new ones into my rotation; This one is from Bomberman's ending, and shows him riding the Motobomber, which is the most fun power-up in the entire game. I really like the chunky look of resized Game Boy pixel-art, so I might do this again.

I really do have a lot of non-Bomberman backgrounds, honest! I'll endeavour to show more of them going forward.

My humble old system.
To work and play!

This one just came up in my rotation - it's some beautiful Yume Nikki fan-art by a Steam user called Yonetee, representing the Sky Garden area of the game.

Honestly forgot to swap my wallpaper for September until now so I just picked some gradients to see me through to the end of next week or so.

Some Minecraft (or, indeed, Minetest, if you prefer!) fan-art showing a blocky wolf sitting at the top of a blocky mountain looking out over some blocky islands and howling at the blocky moon, this time around.

Late posting but I did remember to change my wallpaper to something "festive" for October:

Just a quick little tribute to Star Parodier.

I put it together by combining a scan of the game's key-art from the provided wiki link (with added blur/glow to counteract the harsh edges a bit - I didn't feel like spending the entire day getting rid of each stray pixel manually ), with a space background that I found online.


Here's a copy that isn't a screenshot of my desktop.
