#Doom (1993) is an action RPG

(not really, but it owes a surprising amount of its design to very old dungeon-crawler RPGs)

I love alt text because when someone is making a reference that I don’t get I can literally just read their alt text and get the reference

also when someone posts a screenshot of something and I don’t know what I’m looking at, I can read the alt text and understand not just what I’m looking at but the context and implications behind it

there are so many posts that I would’ve never understood otherwise, or would have had to go out of my way to google stuff to figure out what they’re referencing, where instead I just get to immediately understand

All the cool kids are going floppy

@gsuberland The only thing I like about SD cards is that through some sort of wizardry, really dumb microcontrollers can talk to them over serial communication and access their files. You don't even have to buy a fancy interface. You can literally just solder header pins onto an SD to Micro SD adapter.

Are you upset when small vendors selling 18+ content (games, comics etc) get shut out of platforms because of pressure from payment processors?

Are you Canadian?

Bardish Chagger, MP for Waterloo, is running a petition against "financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services". This is not a normal petition, if it passes it means she gets to force a debate in parliament. You'll have to give a phone# and confirm your email. Deadline Oct 25.

@isthereanydeal if y’all like climbing games or tense horror games I highly recommend checking out the demo for White Knuckle

also Creeper World 4 looks like a complicated strategy game but it’s actually a satisfying meditative game about cleaning up purple goop called creeper using tower defense turrets

if you like the original Doom and don’t mind doing a little tinkering to get things running, try Brutal Doom, Hideous Destructor, and Outback Anarchy. also if you like the original Zelda 1 there’s a total conversion mod for GZDoom called Legend of Doom which turns it into first-person Zelda 1

if you want some calming, satisfying, wholesome puzzles try Wilmot Works It Out and A Little to the Left

if you liked Deadspace or Alien: Isolation or especially if you like immersive sim games, try Spirits of Xanadu

if you’re really nerdy about guns or just want to try a weird experimental shooter try Receiver 2. and if you want something less technical and more tense, unsettling, and exciting than Receiver 2, try HOLE

if you want to roleplay as a 90’s movie hacker, try Uplink

if you’re interested in a really weird, innovative, vaguely horror-themed cave exploration game, try Scanner Sombre

if you like puzzle games or are just interested in linguistics, I highly recommend Chants of Sennaar

if you want a tense slow-paced horror-themed space salvage simulator, give Duskers a try

Second Wind (a group of video game journalists who escaped corporate exploitation at The Escapist and started their own channel instead) is struggling because of YouTube’s new AI system classifying their videos as “mature content”

I’ve been watching their videos almost since they started and they’re one of my favorite YouTube channels. I also really want them to succeed just to drive home that it’s possible for creatives to exist independent of corporate exploitation

so to try to make up for their lost views I just wanted to plug their channel in case anyone is interested in watching videos about game design, reviews for new games, etc.

here’s the video about their decreasing views and why it’s happening

of course there are also simpler single-effect pills that do things like making your skin glow in the dark or changing your eye color or pupil shape. pills like these can often be programmed over NFC to configure color, shape, texture, etc. before you take them. if you take them without configuring them you’ll just end up with the default settings instead (the default settings are generally whatever configuration is shown on the box)

btw if you’re wondering the kemonomimi pills dissolve on your tongue and have different flavors depending on the type:

inumimi – banana
nekomimi – kiwi
kitsunemimi – orange
usagimimi – marshmallow
ookamimimi – blackberry

sometimes people like to scramble them up and take a random one for the thrill of not knowing which kind of body they’re going to have for the day

@julie they have the 4 most common types of elf but you can also get designer elf types online, like WoW blood elf and Elder Scrolls Dunmer

there are certain memes that will never leave my mind. when I’m 300 years old living in an O’Neill cylinder in the Kuiper belt and drinking microfabricated 21st-century cola out of a self-refrigerating nanite can I’m still going to think to myself

“hehehehe… bepis”
