The kids and I were talking about Sid Meier today, and I couldn't let the conversation go by without mentioning that the best game ever made is Sid Meier's Pirates.

They didn't get it.

My daughter asks "Were the graphics good?"

"They are pirate graphics"

From there, everything was just pirate based.

She was not impressed.

I just said "Yarr!"

I'm not much of a gamer. Like, I don't play any games other than Wordle. But I am a fan of #CriticalRole and I found myself getting videos from the game #Dispatch suggested to me on YouTube because they do voice acting work for the game. I started watching some clips, and I was completely hooked. I still have no desire to play the game, but the story is absolutely amazing.

It's honestly more like a choose your own story TV show like one of the ones that were on Netflix in the last few years. The voice acting cast is absolutely stellar, and the music is doing exactly what it is supposed to do -- conveying the stakes of the scenes and the emotional states of the characters. If this *were* a show, it would be at least as good as anything that's on TV right now. It's got laugh-out-loud comedy moments, action, and scenes that really hit you in the feels like a punch in the gut. I'd probably rank it above Invincible as far as superhero shows go. It's certainly not formulaic.

And it's not just about superheroes -- in fact, your playable character loses what makes him super in the opening sequences of the game. It's about why some people are villans and why some choose to help. It's about redemption and how it might only be possible if you believe you're worthy of it.

Oh, and it's definitely earned its "mature audience" rating.

I'll leave you with a question that you'll be asking yourself at some point during a playthrough (or a watch, as it was in my case).

On one of my characters in WoW, I have been doing old Shadowlands content because I wanted to get the Stitchyard achievements. Finally got it completed tonight with "Things to Do When You're Dead". Why did I bother with these? Uh, hello, its a Stitchyard! The name of the achievement helps, along with the mount as the reward for doing it.

Sen lisäksi, että Arc Raiders on ihan ässä videopeliksi, niin siinä on aggressiivisuuteen perustuva kokoonpanomoottori. Jep, keksin juuri sanan kokoonpanomoottori. Eli pelissä, jossa on PvE ja PvP -elementtejä, peli yrittää muodostaa peliauloja joissa on enimmäkseen jompaankumpaan pelityyliin kallellaan olevia pelaajia.

Tästä syystä oma pelikokemukseni on usein tosi rauhallinen, ja ihmispelaajat tekevät usein rauhanomaisesti yhteistyötä bottivihujen teilaamiseksi. Muilla kokemus on erilainen. Molemmilla porukoilla on mukava pelikokemus. Kaikki voittavat.

Muut pelit: olkaa kuten Arc Raiders!

A drawing of a young woman sitting with a vacant expression, the skirt of her dress extending in a pool of cloth around her while machinery descends from above, various effectors reaching across and disappearing into the back of her head and spine. The young woman, who has pointed ears and a metallic halo suspended over her head, has teal eyes and wavy blonde hair tinged pink at the tips. She's wearing a flowing turquoise dress; one of the shoulder straps has slipped down one arm. She has pale turquoise detached sleeves covering the lower part of her arms and wrists, and is holding a purple flower that rests by her lap. She has various adornments that suggest that she may be part machine: purple fins on either side of her neck; metallic protrusions like handles extending from under her ears; and a trio of ports beneath her collarbone arrayed like jewels on a necklace. The machinery behind her looks to be an apparatus of many robotic arms with exposed cabling; a sextet of articulated needles emerge from an orb to insert themselves into her scalp.

Alt...

A drawing of a beautiful woman with great feathered wings, like some kind of erinys, devil or fallen angel, standing in an authoritative pose with the cable of a flail held stretched taut between her hands, the heavy bronze flail head hanging just past her upraised right hand. She has thick, volumous pink hair, mostly tied back in a knot behind her head but for a large lock hanging freely over one temple. She has demonic turquoise eyes—iris and sclera both—with crimson pupils and long pointed ears. She also has long. slightly curved horns and a prehensile tail that winds around her hips, both lilac in colour. Her skin is pale peach, while her wings are various hues of pink and peach and white. She's wearing a maroon and rose-gold corset over a diaphonous halter-top with a long purple skirt covering her legs. She has detached puffed-up peach sleeves covering most of her arms, and is wearing rose-gold jewellery—hoop earrings and ear clips.

Alt...

A drawing of two elves in modern clothes, walking by some trees on a winter morning, shortly after sunrise. The pair are walking towards the viewer. Walking slightly ahead is a young female elf with pale skin, long lilac hair and green eyes. She's holding up a takeout coffee cup in one hand while carrying a blue shopping bag in the other. Steam rises from the coffee cup. She's wearing a green cap, an oversized pink hoody and a short black skirt. She's also wearing a pair of checkered tights and has a backpack slung behind her. She wears a silver ring on one finger of her right hand. Slightly behind her and to the left (her right), walks a male elf with brown skin, close-cropped dark hair and slate-blue eyes. He's staring off at something behind his companion. He's wearing a long beige overcoat over a brown jacket and blue jeans, a white shirt and blue tie underneath the jacket. He has his hands in his coat pockets.

Alt...

A drawing of a red-haired devil woman emerging from a glowing crater in the ground. The crater is smoking, a yellow-orange light emitting from its bottom. The woman has dusky, almost grey skin, fiery long red hair and a pair of curved iron-grey horns. She also has golden eyes, long pointed ears, a long devil's tail and large, leathery wings like those of a bat. She's standing sidelong while turning her head to face the viewer. She's wearing a purple halter-top layered dress, the outer layer of which hangs off the shoulder all the way down to her elbows, the short skirt of which flares out, exposing her long legs. Those legs are clad in dark tights; she's also wearing high-heeled short boots. Her arms are hanging by her sides; a hangs from her right wrist (facing the viewer). In her unseen left hand she holds a long iron trident.

I've had a TrimUI Brick for some time but haven't used it very much. I decided to swap my Retroid Pocket Classic for the Brick in my small tech bag just because it's smaller and lighter. And so I started looking into the latest firmware updates for the device and all of that, which brought me to a Reddit thread about the latest release.

As it turns out, not only did someone find SSH credentials to root into the Brick, but they also discovered that it runs Tina Linux, which (as far as I can see) is based on OpenWRT. The TrimUI brick is basically a router that plays Game Boy games. Technically gaming on Linux.

Oh, yeah, one of my little projects: turning this 2012 Mac Mini into a retro gaming console. It’s running Linux Mint with RetroArch + EmulationStation. I call it “Pippinux” because Apple Pippin was a thing, and Linux. Currently it just has our N64 library but eventually will have our full retro game collection, which isn’t impressive by any means but gives me an excuse to start collecting them again.

I just finished up Orcs & Elves on the #NintendoDS (via the #AynThor).

Man, I really enjoyed this one. It's by Id Software and is a kind of first person dungeon crawler, but with restricted movement like the old Dungeon Master games.

It felt incredibly old school and incredibly western, the kind of thing you might find on a PC in the mid-90s.

It was pretty simple, not too challenging on normal, and was over in a perfectly appropriate 5 hours!

I loved it!

Last night my wife was trying out Tunic on Switch 2, which unfortunately has untranslsted game menus, dialog boxes and such. Luckily, there's a fully translated online version of the manual online. But before we looked that up, she tried translating some via her phone, and the results were TRULY hilarious. I was LOSING IT about this last night. 😂🤣😂

Translated dialog box from Tunic that says Kwak Su-da?

Search results saying Kwak Su-da is the name of a Korean individual who is known for expressing strong, direct opinions on political matters 😂

Guten Morgen #hatclan!

In meinem neuen #Linux #Gaming Video geht es um Spiele mit Murmeln. Genauer gesagt um den Klassiker „Zuma” und dessen Nachfolger, sowie um die moderne Variante „Sneak In” und um den Open Source Klassiker „Zaz”. Viel Vergnügen: https://tube.tchncs.de/w/71E7Z7Fd1RSKCzzYfUhaQg

Ich habe mir gerade das schaurig-schöne Point-and-Click-Spiel „PRIM“ gekauft, einfach weil ich Lust darauf hatte. Es stand schon länger auf meiner Wunschliste und soll ganz unterhaltsam sein. Ich bin auf den schwarzen Humor gespannt und lasse mich von der Story überraschen. Angespielt habe ich es schon kurz, unter Linux läuft es problemlos. Schade nur, dass es keine Version für Android gibt, denn ich hätte es gerne auf meinem Tablet gespielt. #PointAndClick #LinuxGaming #Gaming #Linux

Looking for something to play? Quake Brutalist Jam III was just released which brings together a bunch of incredible new levels for Quake together. If you download the standalone package, you don't need to bother with any setup. Unzip and play (also works on Linux w/Wine).

it really, *really* fucking sucks that disco elysium got killed by finance bros.

it's bitterly ironic and strangely appropriate given the game's themes, but first and foremost, it just really fucking sucks.

I'm really happy to see that there's such an influx of new players to Guild Wars 2. Amazingly fun.

Pretty strong going for an MMO (or CMO...C for collaborative) that was released 13+ years ago, but which has been updated regularly over the years, making most of the other MMO's appear like they are standing still, or degrading over time.

Welcome all new players to the friendliest (and most inclusive) gaming community in the MMO sphere!

This is the photo of my desk setup. I have a desk mat that has bottled herbs and a white cat in the center of it. You can see my Nintendo Switch 2 with a green case on it, my keyboard is lit up green, my lamp is lit up purple, and on my computer screen is an old-fashioned map for the screensaver. I also have Funko pops and succulents around on my desk.

This is the same photo as the first one only taking a little bit further back.

As the Steam Deck LCD is being discontinued, I decided to bite the bullet and treat myself. It has been shipped. Commence Operation Tracking Page Refresh! #SteamDeck #Gaming

github the most popular code repository for open source projects and owned by microsoft just banned lots of adult games without explaining why.[1] This comes in the wake of Mastercard and Visa forcing Steam and itch.io to remove hundreds of adult games from their platforms.[2] Fortunately there exists self hosted and or community owned code repository software projects (ie the code and tooling for the repositories themselves) such as forgejo/codeberg and gitea. If people want to get out from under the thumb of corporations deciding they aren't allowed to publish adult games they should use these freedom respecting solutions and if past that point governments start censoring them they should use tor or i2p to hide the identity of the website and monero (XMR) the private cryptocurrency to take donations

My take on monero as I expect I suprised you by mentioning cryptocurrency: https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115849785746217342

It took some tinkering, but I managed to set up screenshot syncing from the Steam Deck. I had to set up a Linux system service to run when the device starts (sounds scarier than it is), which checks for new screenshots and copies them into a folder which is synced using SyncThing.
So far it's working well!

It'll make it a lot easier to share game screenshots, which, as you may have noticed, I enjoy doing 😊
