Would you play a contemporary game with this style of graphics? Honest answers only :P

@MrBehemo Oh, yes, absolutely.

@ghostwise Fair enough :)

@djlink Good point!

Books can bring a certain peace of mind, and here's a very interesting book excerpt from the unexpectedly scholarly 'Ultima and Worldbuilding in the Computer Role-Playing Game': https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/book-excerpt-ultima-and-worldbuilding-in-the-computer-role-playing-game

@vga256 Always a pleasure, and always waiting for books by you.

When you (beloved) programmer tells you to buy a game, you buy said game. It's the law. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1462570/Lost_in_Random/

What a brilliant, brilliant video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69u_Pxb_8zI

@aeva Don't get me started on brick textures! They are -by far- one of the most immersion breaking, and ugly things a game can do.

@konstantinosd for your unbound manuscript, did the printer have a preferred document format (Word, PDF, etc) for submitting your book?

starting work on an Ultima VII book, and i'd like to pick a word processor that's going to give me the least grief in the future

konstantinosd, 2 months ago

@vga256 I didn't have any direct contact with the printer, as the publisher (Unbound) handled everything. I believe, however, that we did use Google Docs for the exchange of documents.

konstantinosd, 2 months ago

@vga256 but if you want to talk about Unbound, well, please do drop me a line dear.

Installed LaunchBox [https://launchbox-app.com], but haven't yet found the time to actually, properly set it up :(

Never did well at Cryo's (beautiful) Dune game as a kid, but would now love to give it another go.

@damianogerli Hey, I did love Dracula!

Alone In The Dark remains one of the most beautiful (and best) games ever made.

@damianogerli I would argue it aged brilliantly to be honest :)

Have been replaying the Gates of Zendocon on the Lynx (well, Evercade) quite a bit lately, and am very impressed at just how well designed, innovative and varied this game is.

A brilliant if overlooked shmup, that has somehow even found its way on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2190740/Gates_of_Zendocon/

Creating a 2-page resume is a bastard. True story.

@MrBehemo I fully and wholeheartedly agree with the trojan resume concept.
