🎉LUDOCENE LAUNCHED 🎉

So excited (and nervous) to send our game-finder into the world.

Ludocene.com

If you want a better way to find amazing games that rewards experts and is in the hands of players, this is our shot.

Thank you to the 1000's backers and supporters.This is just the beginning.

a list of the New Genres which all games can be properly classified into. these are: "Clean-em-up", "Spreadsheet Simulator", "Infant-Saving Simulator", "9-to-5 Like", "Ladder Climber", "Gem Management", "Stroggification Game", "First-Person Game", "Spice World Clone", and "Myst".

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

We love a good Fountain, don’t we folks

I genuinely wonder what Duchamp would think about replicating it, if that would sully the meaning of the original’s subversiveness, or if he’d be delighted that it’s subversive enough to deserve acclaim in the form of replication

…yeah I’d read that thesis

An infograph meme quoting a moment from the movie "The Incredibles". There is black text that reads: Alright, listen closely. I'd like to help you with the ads, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to click on the gear icon and select "Report Playback Issue". But I can't. I also do not advise you to select anything related to how the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate; I wouldn't expect Twitch to do something about the ICE ads if they get flooded with enough reports. Below, there are images that are as follows: From left to right, top to bottom. Mr Incredible whispering to an old lady in an office building. A screenshot of Twitchs' Settings menu with "Report Playback Issue" highlighted. A close-up of Mr Incredible whispering. A screenshot of Twitchs' Report Playback Issue menu with a dropdown menu containing options.

It’s honestly iconic

your retro gaming scene if it doesn't include any trans or queer folks:

"haha Sonic Adventure such a bad game. Rough transition into 3D am I right? Actually, Sonic games were never good. Why do Sonic fans say they want Sonic Adventure 3 when Sonic '06 exists? It's literally the game you wanted."

Fuck it, I’m saying it

Castlevania II’s kinda fun

This show made me, a severe asthmatic, think I could figure out swimming

it’s just that good folks!

it's on howdy. you can find it on yeehaw. it's literally on darn tootin

Found a video arguing that Twin Peaks is a huge inspiration on Toby Fox for DELTARUNE and everything is starting to make far, FAR too much sense when you look at it from that perspective

My honest reaction to that information:

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano

Great point!

It’s almost like sometimes you need a little context that’s not worth showing and can be easily conveyed with a couple sentences. Crazy stuff!

Luckily I went to film school for more than three hours, so I understand this

Just heard “Superman starts with Words on Screen = Bad”

How could James Gunn forget about the poor, illiterate, right-wing, borderline-nazis, shame on him!

In Disco Elysium I was expecting there to be some kind of "addiction mechanic" that would add a long-term downside to taking drugs, and was surprised by not only the absence of any such mechanic but also that the benefits of drugs greatly outweighed the cost. Anyways fast forward to the late game and I was downing three bottles of pyrholidon and smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before attempting any check, and the was only then I realized there was in fact an addiction mechanic

Disco Elysium could not work as well as it does in any other medium tbh

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

Dey wanna wanga?

Adding another reason to my pile of why convincing people “games are art” needs to be a simple yet philosophical “because there’s genuinely no sound reason that they should be excluded”

Not like it’s worth the worrying or convincing most times lol, definitely seems the most bulletproof “argument”

Seems we have a Discourse. Disco Elysium is the best opportunity gamers have to convince non-gamers that games are art. I’ve converted half a dozen.

Trust this English PhD dropout that DE is the most innovative novel of the century. Because it’s a game. Play it and fall in love.

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.

“I can’t believe that someone would think it’s a moral failing of me to use the Lying Machine as a place where I get my facts”

That scene made my mom mad at that movie because it freaked me out so much, think I saw it at a friend’s birthday party as a kid

I remember her making a big deal about how uncharacteristically scary the use of the word “he *threatened* Mr Conductor-“ was for Thomas, observation always stuck with me

idk why I drew this

DIESEL 10 NIGHTMARE FUEL RIGHT BEFORE BED LETS GOOOOOOO

I’m blaming you if I have nightmares where Diesel 10 is threatening me with his giant claw (I have taken Alec Baldwin’s place, I am his understudy)

Doing that thing where I hit the A Button just after hitting Fight or casting Hurt, in time with when I think the impact sound will happen, as if this will actually accomplish something

Mario & Luigi trained me to do this, it just makes my brain feel good, I have no orher explanation

Oh god oh fuck

I forgot this guy was down here from my time with the iOS version, even though I was literally wondering when I would encounter him earlier

He goes in front of the menu, that’s pretty neat

BUT OH GOD OH FUCK even Chain Mail armor, a Copper Sword, and being LVL 8 is NOT enough LMAO
