This was literally my first thought on seeing this

I don't know man, the kachonk is a valuable part of the experience for me, great tactile feedback

Every time I see the little "new content" blip next to someone I've subscribed to and it ends up being a short, I feel cheated.

Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

You got further than I've ever gotten trying to fix anything car-related. Good job! I feel like technology's in such a complicated place at this point that nobody's expected to be able to handle every single step of every situation on their own. You did awesome.

I'm so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

How dare he?

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 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.

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.

Part of me wonders if this is just me getting older and well into the "back in my day" stage of life when I worry that things are getting significantly worse. But it really feels like this poor country is in a serious backward arc and I'm genuinely worried for my kids.

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

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

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

Relatively recent arrival to Reddit, but this was the nudge I needed to really start diving into the Fediverse (via Lemmy). It's been a ton of fun.

Oh man, my oldest brother put this on when our parents were out and all I remember is being terrified of the eyeball in the guy's palm at some point. Probably my first experience with body horror.

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.

I've been working on my Neocities site today. I need to see if there's a suitable webring I could get in on, that'd be amazing.

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

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