@christian oh yuck haha. Ours is up there too and ugh the summer is just getting started. This is our hibernation season hahaha - the 2 or 3 months of "winter" here are really the only nice times to be outside 😬 this is now and our upcoming week

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@christian ha! Well, serves me right for living in a desert I guess 😂 Ah, but Portugal sounds beautiful. It's gotta be in the spring and fall right? Do you get snow? We get none here where I am but if you drive like an hour or two north there are on the coldest winter days haha. I'm from east coast USA actually, seen a LOT of snow, I don't mind cold but moving snow and driving in it suuuucks. But it's beautiful. Ha

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@christian haha oh wow. Sweden looks REALLY amazing, I'd love to be anywhere in Europe. I'm sure I'd stick out as a big dumb American though haha. And yeah, you can definitely see stuff some better out here. Still a fair amount of light pollution near where I live but if you drive out in any direction, sometimes there's like, NOTHING haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@christian oh nice. And the prices are decent there in North Sweden? Wow. I've always wondered how comparable it is to over here. We moved to AZ because it was supposedly cheaper cost of living but I'm not so sure anymore haha. Would totally love to get out of this country someday. I've never been shy about it haha

So, I have had a glorious moment of vindication for myself. Not only have I beaten on the , but I also got all the achievements for the game from Retroachievements.org, so the game is considered Mastered!

Honestly, the game was a really good challenge, I will definitely need to talk a little about this game on my channel, as there is a lot to talk about, and it certainly deserves a proper review in my opinion.

Despite being a movie tie-in game and a bit of a frustrating slog at times, it was actually really enjoyable and I can't put into words how happy I am with beating this game from my childhood!

@ishambard SICK that's a killer achievement! That game is haaaard haha

Google's doing it to themselves. I predict that eventually (or even fairly soon) YouTube searches will be full of only AI-generated news and other things and will be completely unusable. Just tried looking up something and got only weird videos with AI characters badly speaking news. This is gonna be a mess

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@brettmn ha! I don't listen to many aside making one (a Simpsons one) and I was recently on one that will be out soon (on DOS games haha) but wow. Yeah.. the searches and now YouTube's junk is amping up too. They'll both be fairly unusable.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@sarahgoldcrest same. It was AWFUL, I kept finding video after video. They LOOK kinda real, too. And then that voice, that horrible voice haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@berkough wow. That's so odd - and yeah, my wife watches a bunch of the TikTok too.. maybe slightly less AI junk than other people, but still some. I guess it's all creeping in, huh. Maybe I should've said 'unusable for ME' hahaha. I mean, I was just looking up something about Dolly Parton. It was gross. Like, at least 5 videos, all AI. Yuck

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@berkough ha! Full Skynet. That's what I can't stop thinking about. Singularity crap. My stupid sci-fi addled brain haha. But yeah, the weird monotones, repeating things, sound not matching the mouth.. this is the future of news? 🤮 😂

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@wendigo she does?!? That is SO bizarre. I mean I'd seen some rudimentary stuff like this but this is BAD - it's so bizarre. You'd think it would be better than this even by now haha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@Judeau @slashie yes!! Definitely has that great oldschool feel. I adore it and can't wait to try. I had meant to try out the demo they had up but never got to it. I followed the one guy on Twitter and I guess they're on here too (@SkaldRPG) which is cool

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@Judeau @slashie @SkaldRPG oh yeah, and I had included it on my 'great looking indie games' list I did last year. Looks like I need to update it haha https://spacetimetech.wordpress.com/2023/09/26/16-great-looking-upcoming-indie-video-games-2023-version-this-post-will-be-edited-as-theyre-released

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@Judeau haha awesome. Yeah, I'm hoping/thinking most of these should be on Steam, and some with demos! Let me know your findings, if you try and they work or don't haha

Can anyone recommend accounts to follow that boost indie games and indie game devs? I've been having a tough time finding quality accounts since I joined the fediverse.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@Furty I'm trying to think of a few, I know I follow some (I'd follow those hashtags too) - I do boost a bunch of indie game stuff. And also @OffTheBooks @njamster @julienbarnoin @smitner @axtevision @LMG3864 @Braininabowl @anchorite @didi @RaspberryJam @qristy @AminiAllight @avivlevy @moosepod @platformalist @Hewco @drewww

and I'm sure these folks know even more 😀
