We can be cool to one another. That's enough for me.

Anybody else think we need to change the way we address crowds..?

"Ladies and Gentlemen"
- NOT inclusive
- Unoriginal
- Outdated

"Everypony"
- Includes ALL people of all genders
- Relates to younger generations
- causes untold psychic damage

Panzer Paladin is one of my favourites. Played through it 3 or 4 times. Felt to me like a heavier Zelda 2, but I've never heard of Metal Warriors; sounds like I should check it out πŸ‘€

GitHub - UZDoom/UZDoom: UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities - UZDoom/UZDoom

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.

I'm not going anywhere, but I _might_ be a bit more active on Mastodon if you like toots as much or more than you like skeets. (Or are toot-curious)

Default cube in Blender with a speech bubble saying "I consent!" in both English and Japanese. There's a context menu open asking "Delete selected object?" With Cancel or Delete options and a mouse hovering over the delete bottom. The default cube is blushing in an anime style blush, even though it has no face.

Sometimes in my work I need to delete the Blender Default Cube, but don't worry, the cube consents to this!

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.

Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

I've been avoiding discussions of Silksong for the most part because I really just wanna experience it for myself as fresh as I can, but I've heard some folks have had issues with difficulty. Not me though. I'm a sicko and I'm reveling in it.

Nine Sols is on sale right now, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Stands toe-to-toe with Hollow Knight for me as one of the best metroidvanias ever, takes some influence from Sekiro with its parry focused combat, and incredible worldbuilding...

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.
