What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?

I’ve been recently been thinking about Arkane Studio’s Prey which is a immersive sim, with a pretty good rouge like dlc, that probably has one of the strongest hooks of any game I’ve played. If you liked Halflife, System Shock, or Deus Ex it’s definitely worth a play....

Can I go with a game from the 90s? Because the adaptation of Harlan Ellison’s I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is one of the best games I ever played. Ellison himself voices the “evil” computer, AM and instead of trying to win, you have to make the correct moral choices so your character can finally be allowed to die. You play multiple characters (not concurrently), so you have to do this multiple times. It’s brutal but so good. I know very few people who even know it existed.

It’s on archive.org if you ever want to play it. Not sure if it’s DOS or Windows, but either way, an emulator will take care of that issue.

Games have been doing that since Robotron: 2084 in 1982.

Do you want to stop playing chess after every other move and be forced to watch part of some medieval war drama unfold before continuing?

To be fair, they were often arcade games which required two joysticks. I had a game for my Amiga that I don’t remember the name of that used the keyboard to do it.

You’d think, but this is the internet.

Nothing wrong with this description (lemmy.world)

Slashdot product page of an office suite named “AndrOpen Office”. The description reads: “AndrOpen Office, the world’s first Android porting of OpenOffice is a powerful office suite that supports OpenDocument format. OpenOffice allows you to view, edit, insert, and export office documents. AndrOpen Office is an office...

I think you mean 80 years. Unless there were genociding gas chambers in 1973 I haven’t heard about.

(And I would have been put in one too, just not in 1973.)

Totally transferring to another instance and losing your post history is kind of a shitty solution when they could just not have authoritarian moderators instead. They’re also Lemmy’s developers.

You’re free to abandon your account and they’re free to not hire authoritarian moderators. Why should it be on you and not them?

If I go to a mechanic and they put Nazi literature in my car, I have a couple of options. One would be to just switch to another mechanic and not say anything. The other would be to let everyone know about the car place that puts Nazi literature in your car to shame them into firing whoever it was that did it.

You would take option one. I consider that cowardly.

Stopped reading at the insult. Not interested in trading insults.

And before you claim I called you a coward, I did not. I said you would take the cowardly option in the case I was mentioning.

I am not interested in Reddit behavior. You can either talk to me like you would if we were face to face, where you know you would not be hurling insults, or I can just block you. Your choice.

Stopped reading at the insult again. Blocking you now. Not interested in Reddit behavior. Goodbye.

X/Twitter CEO Shares and Deletes Video Ad That Features Tweets Dunking on Elon Musk (gizmodo.com)

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino shared a new video advertisement for the X platform Thursday. As dull as it is, it hits all the points she and her boss Elon Musk have been proclaiming about their supposed “everything app,” including video calls, payments, and creator subscriptions. At the same time, users spotted some rather...

The whole article is worth reading.

NEW YORK—Stressing that the memory seemed so fresh and vivid in their minds, the confused nation announced Monday that they could have sworn British entertainer Russell Brand was already a convicted sex offender. “Interesting…so Russell Brand definitely wasn’t already found guilty of sexual assault back in, like…2016, 2017?” said 39-year-old New York resident Scott Hasard, echoing the thoughts of 330 million Americans as he noted that when he saw allegations emerge about the actor, comedian, and podcast host, he had assumed it was simply repackaged content from nearly a decade ago. “You’re telling me there wasn’t a lengthy and well-publicized trial where Brand was acquitted, but then new allegations emerged? And, like, social media posts where the women got called liars? None of that happened? Huh. I even feel like I read a think-piece about how we could still appreciate Forgetting Sarah Marshall despite his crimes. It’s probably insane to even ask this, but didn’t he release a comeback special back in 2020 about how everyone tried to cancel him for the sexual assault stuff? Seriously? Not even that?” At press time, the baffled nation asked what had made Brand into such an unhinged and deeply frustrated person if all of this hadn’t kicked it off years ago.

Twitter doesn’t have a press office anymore. So he can’t do that.

He had it when we got him at the rescue event, so I knew about the ear right away. I guess I must like it because I keep the little guy around.
