this reminds me that i never did play Beneath a Steel Sky which i guess is cyberpunk but idk if it's good

most adventure games are pretty terrible

its one of the best adventure games ever made.

that doesn't really matter if you don't like adventure games though

imo its too much pixel hunt

monkeys island 1+2 are the best.

i like the monkey islands, although the puzzles are a bit monkeycheese sometimes (stick a banana on a metronome to hypnotise a piano-playing money so that you can use it's frozen hand as a literal monkey wrench)

MI2 also has a literal pixel hunt puzzle towards the end.

why does a tractor even have firmware?

tractors are supposed to be a big diesel engine with wheels and a seat

I honestly don't know how cheap and bad scifi genre fiction gets published any more. Is there really a market out there for paperback books that aren't Harry Potter blockbusters?
I got the impression the arse had really fallen out of the genre fiction business, and it can't be much of a living when everybody pirates everything.

print-on-demand means its basically zero risk to the publisher. and certain publishers will basically take anything

i'll bet a lot of it is vanity published too

I feel kind of sad that I missed out on participating in the era of really janky home computers

america had it's own poo poo computers nobody else cared about - like the apple 2 or the ti/99

the msx platform was originally designed by microsoft and was popular in south america and parts of europe too, so it is kind of weird that it never caught on in the us

the msx sold well in the netherlands, and i think germany and spain too, but software distribution in the 80s wasn't like it is today. msx games from japan would never be released outside japan, and games from europe would never be released outside europe (or even outside specific countries). so while there were msx machines around a lot of the games were fairly lazy ports from the zx spectrum. they're both z80 machines and one of the msx video modes is more or less spectrum-compatible, so with only minor changes you could knock out a port in a few days
