(Also, I'm not sure if this counts, but Frog Hotel stinks too since I donated to that Kickstarter years ago and there has been zero sign of a developer update nor release date since then.)

Mostly Knytt Stories. But I already detailed that on the 'oddly interesting games' thread. :3c

Honorable mentions go to Tower Unite, Firewatch, Habbo Hotel, DOOM II, Minecraft, Roblox, and Manyland.

Okay. It's been a couple years since my last post in this thread, so let me clarify a few things on this old list I posted, and also add some new ones to the pile that I've played since then:

• Tower Unite: yeaaaaah I don't play this game anymore lmao. mostly because a) the community is kinda trash, b) it runs like shit on my PC, and c) apparently macdguy (lead dev) isn't the greatest person (i don't remember the specifics on this front). but yeah, no longer that relevant to me.


• DOOM II: tbh i only really like doom ii when paired with a modern source port and a gameplay mod or two. as of late, i find the Super Wacky Weapons Mod to be pretty dang good. even then though i tend to get burnt out on doom...


• Minecraft: it's only fairly recently hit me but Minecraft is one of those games where I like seeing media about it and I like seeing people play it but for the life of me I always get burnt out on this game so fast. part of it is because while vanilla is a nice rounded experience, it can get kinda boring if you aren't good at building or making farms or what not. and i am not good at either of those things (: -- mods like Quark and other vanilla tweaks mods do help, but even then I kinda wish minecraft had support for household items like fridges, chairs, and whatnot. instead of having to turn the regular blocks into those. kind of a weird thing to wish for, but blargh. i am so glad minecraft is popular, though. it deserves to be, even though Notch can fuck off


• Habbo Hotel: gotta be honest folks, only like this game for the graphics (and i never play on the main instance anymore because fuck paying for furni)


• Roblox: it is just harder and harder to find decent games on the platform nowadays. i am actually tempted to make a list of good roblox places (for anyone above the age of 13) and stash it somewhere on my website. (novetus is kinda neat tho)


• Manyland: haven't played this in a while and i kinda wish it was open-source, but it's still cool.


• Firewatch: ...actually this game still whips (well, except for the ending, but i'll let it slide).

and now, a few additions to the list:

• Soul Void: an extremely good game boy walking simulator about fighting your inner demons of doubt, anxiety, and helplessness. a very touching game with well-drawn art and good characters. my only major beef is that it has no music, but other than that it is very much worth playing.


• Escaped Chasm and Dweller's Empty Path: oOOOH man okay okay okay. i'm not gonna spoil much but these are both games by temmie chang, who you might know as someone who has worked on undertale and deltarune. these are both rpg maker walking simulators, one longer than the other, and despite looking totally different they do take place in the same universe. if you can, play escaped chasm first. you don't have to, but it will make the experience of DEP that much nicer. i'm not gonna spoil the story for either but it's pretty damn interesting, i'll say that much.

this is a great addition! thank you so much!

i have a feature suggestion, though: can you add an option to add a max-width to the main layout so that it doesn't stretch all the way across a wide screen? it's harder to read paragraphs when it does for me

(also a feature to resize the page jumper on topic pages would be really good)

Welp, it looks like some brave soul put together a complete offline archive of Homestuck and the rest of MSPA, with the Flashes fully intact.
I hope you're all happy to know that Homestuck will live on forever because of this. (:

(but seriously, this is probably the best way for new people to read the comic)

Got a new one: back around 2008/09, there was this browser-based game (I think it was either Shockwave, Unity, or some other 3d web plugin) that was sort of a clone of Halo? It was an FPS where you go around a map shooting people and picking up weapons. You could play with bots and I remember the map being pretty cloudy. And craggy. Anyone else remember this?

Don't think I ever updated on my past self's statement here: I figured out what the game was called. It was called Phosphor. You can look it up if you have Flashpoint installed. It's not as fun as I remember...

mac84, i guess? he's a retro mac youtuber and he's fun to watch. he just put out a really cool video about how he found a rare molar mac and a mac clone (and some other cool tech items) in an ecycler parking lot.

unfortunately videos like this can't communicate the most important part of owning a keyboard, which is the kinesthetic/tactile sense. they fucking need to invent feel-o-vision already

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. i legit am curious how we even could do that in the first place

i got a corsair k70 with mx blues a couple years ago. it's probably the best-feeling keyboard i've ever owned, but i have a sneaking suspicion that MX switches aren't really for me. that or these keycaps aren't for me. i'm not sure which. i don't know enough about MKs to know which. :V

all i know is that my brother's keyboard feels better than mine...

anyways this keyboard doesn't have RGB, but it is backlit, which is nice. i kinda wanna get a RGB TKL next time around, though...

also this keyboard is dirty and i can't clean it because i don't have a spare to use on me. help

...well, I was going to boot up my ol' copy of Distance to help distract myself from my constant anxiety and paranoia, but then after I booted up my heart sank as I realized none of my save data was found because the SSD it was kept on died back in March of this year, and the game only got Steam Cloud support last month.

god, i fucking hate computers.

EDIT: lmao of course right after i post this i found an old save data backup from 2018 thank you past me!!!
