[jujotech]

just play alone in the dark as a child before resident evil even comes out, you’ll be fine

how can a video game be so crass yet so pretty

[Rudie]

Shenmue did it before!!!

[daphaknee]

I AM ALSO ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT TROPICAL ANGEL

Omg my dog woke up screaming because of Alfred Chicken, he hates him so bad

Alone in the dark, little big adventure, ecstatica. Pre Resident Evil was the golden age of tank controls

[muaad]

the sense of safety provided by tank controls is most for me.

I can’t find myself in modern 3d game, I will get lost then be unable to locate myself.

Dungeon Meshi addresses that one and the answer turns out to be no.

@captainlove

Absolute edge case but I once heard someone describe twinstick controls as tank controls because of the idea that you move in one direction but aim a turret independently of movement

Mybe they were talking about the other twinstick controls, Cyber sled/Virtual On style, which are patterned after real tank controls.

I didn’t even try to use these facilities on the gauntlet runner until like a couple weeks before the end of the game. My poor group.

Spent part of the past day pondering going through the newest giant charity bundle and making an itch 50 to “counterprogram” against UFO 50, eventually settled on if I don’t know for sure that I would get through it myself then likely no one else would care much either.

So I finally finished going through the entire California Wildfire charity bundle a page or two per day, adding whatever games seemed interesting/short enough to be worth giving a shot. I then went to my library to count them all up and I swear to god… I added exactly 50 games from it >_>

Thinking about the flash point and click game by A Triangle Morning that featured you going back in time and killing Shakespear, and when you got back the English language was unrecognizable so you had no way of knowing what the prompts you choose do until you inevitably get eaten by a manticore.

so in Prague, there is this place

around 15 miles away from this spot

the ‘Obchodní centrum DBK’:

… nothing too special to see here, right, but let’s try to park our virtual car here…

that’s… probably the coolest airvent-cladding in the world and nobody can tell me this is coincidence

[Persona]

Just learned this today but I love it:

Cute girl in Atelier Resleriana gets chubby from eating pie  - AUTOMATON...

Pie-making NPC eventually gets chubby if you don’t eat her pies bc she eats them herself

[sleepysmiles]

good for her!!
