Mossy Feathers (She/They)

Oh yeah, the game is short so I highly recommend 100% it. I think I took 6ish hours to play the entire thing, and I think I missed a side quest. But yeah, the game is basically “be gay, do crimes: the game”.

Yes, but indie games helped fix that. Dunno how deep you’ve gotten into indie games, but here’s a list of them to try:

Cruelty Squad (it is unironically one of the best games I’ve ever played. Give it a chance, it’ll grow on you)

Balatro

Buckshot Roulette

WEBFISHING

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (++if you enjoyed Jet Set Radio (Future))

Abiotic Factor

Lethal Company (I personally wasn’t a fan, but I can see the appeal; I would be more into it if there was more random junk to pick up)

Hypnospace Outlaw

Factorio (just released an expansion! Also don’t wait for sales, you’ll be waiting forever)

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley (edit: forgot to mention that this is basically “be gay, do crimes: the game”. It’s short so I highly recommend 100% it, but it’s also good).

Hylics 1 & 2

The Long Drive (looks like YouTube bait, and it kinda is, but it’s also the best driving game I’ve ever seen. Literally you, a car and 5000km of road. Any engine can go into any vehicle, so yes, you can put a bus engine on a moped. I love it. There haven’t been any big updates lately though because the dev is rewriting the game to fix spaghetti code).

QT (cutesy PT parody that’s all about secret hunting. Also has two extra levels with more secrets. It’s kinda like i-spy but in first-person 3d)

Voices of the Void (I adore this game, it’s a sci-fi pseudo-horror game styled after some weird mix of gmod and Half-Life. The premise is that you’re a researcher who’s been shipped off to a radio telescope array, alone. Your goal is to search the sky for signals and learn more about the cosmos. It takes itself just seriously enough and has lots of secrets and surprises to find.)

Does this run on a raspberry pi 1 or 2? I can’t remember which one I have, but I barely use it so it’d be cool to have something to use it for.

Google is still working on improving the Terminal app as well as AVF before shipping this feature. AVF already supports graphics and some input options, but it’s preparing to add support for backing up and restoring snapshots, nested virtualization, and devices with an x86_64 architecture.

This is the part I cared about. Can it run x86_64 programs, or is it just an ARM-compatible version of Debian?

If it can actually run x86_64 programs on ARM devices, then that’s kinda fucking sick and would likely help the world transition to ARM. Like, fuck Google, but this sounds like a good thing, maybe?

Is an EULA presented this way considered binding? That seems really exploitable, like making people click hundreds of links to get to the real EULA so they don’t actually read it.

recent events within the godot project

What recent events? Why don’t you tell us what these recent events are? Would you, perhaps, care to expand on what these recent events might be? Because it seems like if you’re crying about that, then maybe you’re not a nice person.

There are still companies that make physical copies, but typically it’s in limited quantities and sadly I’ve found that most of them (especially one of the big ones, LRG) can be pretty scummy. I think the only two I’ve found that are worth buying stuff from are iam8bit and fangamer.

Meh, give it another 10yrs and Wii games will be selling at the original prices. Rip game/vintage computer collecting. You were a fun and inexpensive hobby until the rich assholes got to it.

They’re scientists, not programmers. They may do programming as part of their job, but that’s generally not what they’re interested in. In other words, you (or someone else) will have to make it for them because it’s unlikely they’ll do it themselves unless shit gets really bad.

The binding of Isaac has shit ton of them.

Do old build-engine shooters like Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, etc count?

Sapienza, Italy in Hitman has outfits for red and green plumbers.

Sam and Max has references to all kinds of things.

Hypnospace Outlaw has a ton of references to pre-y2k pop culture.

Power Wash simulator has a number of official crossovers with IPs like SpongeBob, Warhammer, Laura Croft, Final Fantasy VII, etc. (oh shit I just checked and there’s a Shrek one coming out soon).

All three land crossings between Israel and Jordan were closed following the attack, the Israel Airports Authority said. The Allenby crossing mainly serves Palestinians and foreigners, with Israelis not permitted to use it.

How convenient. Sorry if I lack sympathy, I’m just not sure how much of what is coming out of Israel’s mouth is trustworthy anymore.

Jesus Christ what a wild story. Is it possible that Craven simply wanted to do good, but “as a white, abled man” wasn’t opening doors so they felt they had to pretend to be someone else? From what it sounds like, a lot of what they and their “”“partners”“” did was legitimately helpful. The thing that leaves me confused is that they probably could have fleeced people for significantly more money but didn’t. They didn’t have to put the amount of effort into it as they did. Is it possible they were trying to do the right thing but were going about it the wrong way?

As someone is very much not cisgender, I look at it and go “Well, isn’t every FTM going to pick Body Type A with male pronouns while MTFs like myself go with Body Type B with female pronouns? Who outside of a Far Right Troll trying and failing to be funny is gonna pick the buff bearded dude and select the she/her pronouns?”

Me! What do you have against bearded, manly ladies? They’re awesome!

It is kinda lazy to have “full masculine” and “full feminine” as your only choices while pretending they aren’t just “male” or “female”, but at the same time, I think it’s a step in the right direction. Today the options might be “not-man” and “not-woman”, but the future might have “not-man”, “not-woman”, “man-woman” and “woman-man”!

sigh I looked at his Twitter and it’s pretty standard right-wing politics. Maybe slightly more progressive than modern right-wingers, but still vomiting GOP propaganda.

I don’t have any examples personally, but I’ve been told by a lot of people that he has some views about women, race, sex, homosexuality, etc which many would find objectionable.

Edit: his Twitter is pretty much 50% programming, 50% GOP politics. He might be a bit more progressive than your average Republican, but he still expresses a strong anti-left/anti-“woke” set of beliefs.

Space Cadet was one of Maxis’ Full-Tilt Pinball tables. Afaik it’s not in the public domain, Microsoft licensed it from Maxis. However, I’m not sure EA would actually enforce the copyright unless someone was making a lot of money off it.

That’s why I specified prominent Scientologists. It’s really hard to avoid them entirely (unless you only watch non-US stuff), but it is possible to avoid people like Tom Cruise, Nancy Cartwright, John Travolta, etc.

Where’s Tom Cruse when you need him?

Being a walking, talking advertisement for Scientology. They target celebrities because they know celebrities are great advertisements. People with parasocial relationships to celebrities are more likely to join Scientology, something which scientology exploits. It’s why I’ve started trying to avoid any media that features prominent Scientologists; I don’t want to support that kinda behavior. If they didn’t try to exploit it then I wouldn’t care too much, but the fact they’re aware and try to exploit it makes me very uncomfortable.

Oh, some more differences vs New Horizons:

• no autosaves and Resetti will chew you out if you reset/quit without saving (New Horizons added autosaves and almost entirely removed Resetti).

• time travelling back in time relative to your last save will also trigger Resetti.

• playable NES games. They can be hard to find, but you can play them if you get any (iirc you can also transfer the roms to your GBA/GBA SP to play on-the-go)

• home customization is still a thing in the original; however you only have a max of 3 rooms (2nd floor, 1st floor, basement). However, you can’t customize your basement floor or walls and the basement won’t count towards your HHA score.

• no “cloud” storage, all storage is in furniture items, which have a max capacity of 3 non-furniture items (clothes, tickets, flooring and walls are fine, but not furniture). This is what the basement is for. (It’s actually kinda fascinating how furniture storage works, but I won’t get into that unless you’re interested)

• maximum of 15 villagers instead of 10.

• you can ask villagers if they have any chores for you; this is actually a great option and I’m annoyed they removed it because it means you don’t have to repeatedly spam villager dialog with the hope they’ll eventually give you a task.

• there’s an island you can visit with another house which you can use as storage if you want. However, it’s a bit difficult to access on emulators because you can only get to it if you have a GBA connected, so you have to either emulate a connected GBA or use gecko/AR code to permanently enable Kapp’n.

• no town hall

• there are cops (they don’t really do anything except tell you if there are any free lost items in the lost-and-found or if there are any upcoming events).

• Tom Nook is the only real vendor, as afaik Mable and Able only sell custom designs. Additionally, instead of Redd, it’s Tom Nook who occasionally sells artwork for the museum.

There are probably others I’m forgetting, but that’s kinda the main gist of it.
