"... where, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then suprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I'm used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for  sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I  am still, two days later, studying."

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.

In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot

The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

i'd also like to directly confront the idea that, well, for "some reason", things that used to be forums, wikis, websites ended up on discord.

it's not a mystery. running a website, wiki, whatever, is hard. maintaining a community is hard. getting people to engage with things is hard.

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

One of the Straftat brothers is making a movement game called VHOLUME and I'm afraid to say it has unbelievable amounts of sauce.

Today, I've been poking around Peril. Y'know how Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is the biggest Quake community project? Peril, mostly the work of one person, is even bigger.

A colossal time-traveling adventure campaign across some of the biggest spaces ever made in the engine.

Now that we are becoming dedicated to the Macintosh in our game creation, I think we can really shine with our techno-dazzle combined with our creativity and Γ¦sthetic perfectionism.

A QuikMenu page as seen through DOSBox. The page is titled "What Are You Waiting For? SHOOT!", and is full of buttons for launching various first-person shooter games. In the bottom left, a button with a butterfly icon reads "Don't Talk To Me LIke A Rookie!", and in the bottom right, "More Shootbang This Way" and a crude ASCII arrow pointing right.

My DOSBox-X setup has migrated successfully. It helps that most of it is localized to the (virtual) C drive; all I needed to do was change window resolution and add some lines to the Autoexec to mount it. Which means the very silly QuikMenu I spent an hour on still lives.
