I like the default one because it reminds me of Netscape and I’m a nostalgic old person

Man, I miss the golden age of point-and-click adventure games. My brothers and I played through so many together. PC Speaker version of the MI1 soundtrack for maximum nostalgia: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=_cfPw3IL1sk

We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating

Was pong on the Telstar, along with Tennis and i think two more similar super basic games? That’s what we had

Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories

I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.

Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.

Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.

I’m always glad when I see someone recommend Night in the Woods. It took me to a place no other game has.

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I’m actually going to get the thing done.

This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because “Python is just for scripting.”

I don’t see them natively on the play store or F-Droid, but you can install them through Termux (handy terminal environment for android). You’ll probably need to install openssl first. In termux, type pkg install openssl and accept any defaults. After that’s done, do pkg install lynx (or links, or w3m - I like them better than Lynx, but it’s fun to try them all) and just fire it up by typing lynx once it’s finished installing. I enjoy seeing which sites work in text-only mode and which don’t. The number is steadily decreasing, as you might imagine.

Lynx is a text-based browser typically used from the terminal. I prefer the Links browser myself (another text-based one) but they’re both great for simple web browsing and avoiding all the distracting images and javascript nonsense. Also a great way to test how accessible a site is to the visually impaired who use screen readers.

Right, I was actually hoping it would go through so I could potentially lift my boycott of ActiBlizz that I started during the Blitzchung incident and only solidified as more information came out about the horrible things going on at Blizzard with some of their employees. Weirdly enough, I really want to play Heroes of the Storm again.

I was surprised to see your post as the only result doing a find for Angband in this thread. I’ve played it casually for decades and never beaten it. Got a level 50 dwarf priest right now that I’ve been puttering around with, not really sure what to do in order to prepare for Morgoth, as I’ve never encountered him before.

I haven’t loved the direction of DCSS in recent years as it seems like there’s been a huge focus on removing things for being “not interesting”, but it seems like it really boils down to “not interesting for veterans who are interested in a low turn count run through the game”. And I’ll never forgive them for removing the chance to meet up with friendly angels in the Abyss if you’re a TSO follower. Apparently they’re always hostile now? That was such a cool touch, and I struggle to understand why its’ better to take away those neat little potential experiences. Ah well, still a fun game to play now and then.

I love this so much. I need to break out one of those gameboy studio tools and take a crack at a game of my own.
