Retro & Indie video games, dragons, plants, SPACE, greyhounds, and more. Probably a few grumbles about the state of the industry and whatever Aus politics is up to.

I really want to make a bunch of short, quick, simple "How to do the very basic thing - in the latest version at time of posting" vids for various languages and programs.
You're on your own afterwards, we're just in an odd place for the first hurdle on lots of things lately.

Oh, I also looked at FLTK and Rust in the last hour of the day... Because apparently I can't settle on what I want to learn.
FLTK-RS 1.5 has a slight difference that gave me a migraine as most references (and my memory) were still in 1.4 and a basic window was not working.

Today's pupil-free day involved us admin SSOs being put into some... thing...
I don't know what to call it or what it was meant to achieve.
Something about Culture, but not explaining it until half way through, and then doing so badly. Most of us just sat in confusion, trying to make sense of it.

Want some beat'em up platforming action? Here's "Edge" from TGL! Not only one of the best action games for the PC-98, it has long cutscenes throughout the game for one heck of a wild ride! Will our hero survive the kiss of death from his unwelcome guest?

Every part of this feels true.
To add, modern online is not only revolving around hypercapitalization of everything possible and the prevention of formation of communities, but also discards longevity.
Anything older than few hours basically stops existing, unless it went viral.

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

No!, Youtube. I was looking for vids on Half-Life 3 news, not ternary logic videos.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I have spent the last 9 hours of the day playing XCOM:EW
...Yeah, I put it on Easy mode because life is shit right now and I got destroyed for helping out France on the last run.
I was obviously having a lot of fun with it. But I did forget to cook lunch and dinner. huh.

You've recently joined the crew of a research vessel and were put into a crew cabin with this lady. She's the head xeno-archeologist on board and will be leading the archeological dig on the planet you're heading to. The journey there is long, so you better get comfy together~

Yes, I will buy Half-Life 3 when it releases next week. And/Or the cleaned up Episode 3 on the older engine.
Maybe not right away. I don't have the time to play a lot lately.
