  • Yes, but indie games helped fix that. Dunno how deep you’ve gotten into indie games, but here’s a list of them to try:

    Cruelty Squad (it is unironically one of the best games I’ve ever played. Give it a chance, it’ll grow on you)

    Balatro

    Buckshot Roulette

    WEBFISHING

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (++if you enjoyed Jet Set Radio (Future))

    Abiotic Factor

    Lethal Company (I personally wasn’t a fan, but I can see the appeal; I would be more into it if there was more random junk to pick up)

    Hypnospace Outlaw

    Factorio (just released an expansion! Also don’t wait for sales, you’ll be waiting forever)

    Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley (edit: forgot to mention that this is basically “be gay, do crimes: the game”. It’s short so I highly recommend 100% it, but it’s also good).

    Hylics 1 & 2

    The Long Drive (looks like YouTube bait, and it kinda is, but it’s also the best driving game I’ve ever seen. Literally you, a car and 5000km of road. Any engine can go into any vehicle, so yes, you can put a bus engine on a moped. I love it. There haven’t been any big updates lately though because the dev is rewriting the game to fix spaghetti code).

    QT (cutesy PT parody that’s all about secret hunting. Also has two extra levels with more secrets. It’s kinda like i-spy but in first-person 3d)

    Voices of the Void (I adore this game, it’s a sci-fi pseudo-horror game styled after some weird mix of gmod and Half-Life. The premise is that you’re a researcher who’s been shipped off to a radio telescope array, alone. Your goal is to search the sky for signals and learn more about the cosmos. It takes itself just seriously enough and has lots of secrets and surprises to find.)








  • Well… duh? A fairer comparison would be the cow vs jeep. A sea creature vs something designed for land isn’t that great of a comparison because water is thick enough that you’re going to need some kind of aerodynamic (fluodynamic?) adaptation to survive. Air is thin enough that evolution can sacrifice some aerodynamics for other traits.





  • Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. (60’s Psychedelic rock, nearly all of the songs were hits, that’s how good it is)

    Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest (indie rock)

    3D Country by Geese (country rock made by a punk band)

    [the future academy of noise, rhythm and gardening presents…] The Dream by The Orb. (Ambient house? Can’t remember the exact genre, very ambient, sample heavy and “lush” but also dancable)

    Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff (acid/nu-jazz I think?)

    Frequencies From Planet Ten, Time Travelling Blues by Orange Goblin (two albums, stoner metal)

    The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown). (Psychedelic rock with rnb/soul-style vocals, also possibly one of the first narrative-based albums)

    Ziltoid the Omniscient by Devin Townsend (prog-metal, one of the greatest albums of all time)

    And if you want the heaviest album I’ve ever heard, try Snailking by Ufomammut. It’s… It’s something else. Basically a mix of doom and stoner metal but with sludge metal effects. Best way I think I can describe it is if Pink Floyd had been a doom metal band addicted to Lovecraft. It’s trippy in a lovecraftian kinda way.

    Anyway, gonna cut myself off here.




  • That’s great. But how long until I can play Balatro on my iPod Classic?

    (I love that indie devs occasionally port their games to nonsensical or obsolete platforms)

    Edit: I actually think Balatro would translate fairly well; assuming the iPod Classic has enough ram and CPU to run a visually stripped-down version. When I had an iPod Nano I played solitaire almost obsessively. The controls were a bit slow due to the limitations of using a clickwheel, but they actually worked really well.

    On a side note: does anyone know if capacitive clickwheels still under patent, trademark or whatever was keeping other companies from using them? I loved the way the iPod clickwheel felt and it sucked that no one else had a 1:1 replication of it.


  • Are you me? It would have been so much easier if I’d come out like, 10yrs ago. At least I would have been on my parents insurance.

    I’ll throw in “stop being afraid of the furry community you fucking dumbass; they’re a hell of a lot nicer than your current “”“friends””“”.
