Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight but make it point-and-click instead.
I wouldn't know how to make pixel-art to save my life, so some photobashing, some fake pixelization and I at least managed to get something that resembles what I was picturing in my head.

It's the weekend so maybe you're in the mood for a movie night? In that case, how about a 4 hour "movie edit" of Black Dahlia, the 1998 FMV adventure game by Take 2 that's truly un-fucking-believable? Available now on my Patreon for free: www.patreon.com/post...

For Black History month: Muriel Tramis.
Known as the "French Roberta Williams", she's way more than that. Among the first black women game designers, her first games were her love letter to Martinique, Méwilo (87), and the incredible strategy game about slavery, Freedom: Rebels in the Darkness (90)

Also, age verification is the easiest shit to bypass. Roblox kids have literally just been printing out photos of adults and holding them up to their webcams for ages. Anyone who thinks this is to "protect the children" is fucking delusional... or duplicious.
reminder that Discord has such a sketchy-ass age verification service that personally identifying information on at least 70,000 users (the hackers claimed 2m+) was compromised within weeks of its rollout
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

In my interviews with the developers of Black Dahlia, the term "sandwich puzzles" came up a few times. It was their somewhat derogatory term for lateral thinking puzzles (think LucasArts) of "get this, use it on this, give it to this NPC" kind of puzzle design.

This is fantastic! We tried doing a metal cover of this in @error47.bsky.social and let me tell you, this is NOT an easy song to play!
#ZakMcKracken co-designer Matthew Alan Kane just shared this with me (he's the composer of the Zak theme song). Enjoy this performance/arrangement by Grazia Pizzuto:
