I really like Smite 1 (its the only MOBA ive ever enjoyed), but this feels like a terrible idea to me.

Smite 1 is still using Adobe Flash for UI elements.

Installing and running flash on a modern machine is a huge ordeal. Lotta work to play lovely old flash games.

Pyre is a cool game where you run a prison basketball league and winning a match lets one of your players get parole. Do you give parole to your friends or to useless bastards who can't keep their eyes on the ball?

video game "journalists" get really weird about specific people sometimes, like the whole bit where articles kept coming out about how ff16 was going to have only white characters and naoki yoshida was against the concept of accessibility

They know that outrage sells and they might even be outraged themselves so they just spam the lovely takes button to get the clicks and get paid.

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
Been suffering from a bit of insomnia lately, and today I finally went to sleep after inundating my barely functioning mind with reviews of rpgs and rogue likes. And I dreamt of what felt like a pretty original take on the two. Much of the logic was dream nonsense, but I think some of it might be salvageable. Not sharing more, because I harbor delusions of ever working on my own game.

loving weird dream, though.

i only get dreams if i take a big ol' melatonin before bed, but i usually don't bother because it always ends up being the most boring poo poo in the world like "going to the grocery store but it's a little weird"

That sucks. Dreams rule, though I’ve had periods of my life like that (and other periods where I was haunted by gruesome nightmares).

It’s such a cozy warm if nostalgic feeling to wake up from a satisfying dream. Great for setting the mood for the day.

i think it's a side effect of finally getting my ADHD treated, since they more or less went away around then. i do kinda miss them from time to time, but the other side of that coin was occasionally suffering from sleep paralysis, so we'll call it net neutral

hilariously, even my sleep paralysis ended up being extremely boring. i think i had one of them "allans in the room looking at me" experiences once, but the rest of the time i'd just wake up feeling weird, send the brain signals to turn on my light, realize i didn't actually do it, and then sit there feeling irritated until everything finally cooperated

thankfully it was more annoying than traumatic, along the lines of, say, trying to get up out of a chair after you've been sitting on your leg funny and finding it doesn't work

i still wish i'd been able to lucid dream, that poo poo sounded insanely cool but i could never trigger it

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Ever since I took up long distance running I almost never dream at all, or at least don't remember them particularly well.

dreams do indeed rule, for example check out this amazing one from the Post Your Dreams thread, recreating part of it in video form:

In the dream my husband and I were watching the video together, and afterwards he asked "What the hell was the point of that?" and we both got up and left. This is the only part of the dream I can remember and I remember it super vividly

The only thing Wasteland shares with Fallout is that it's post-apocalyptic and there's a lot of a silly irony.

Nah, they both come from Brian Fargo (even though the first Fallout was very much Tim Cain's baby when he worked for Brian at Interplay). When Brian was head of Interplay, he no longer held the rights to Wasteland so they just made a new Wasteland game anyway and filed the serial numbers off. Of course, for legal reasons, Fargo has always denied that but it's why Fallout 1 & 2 are chock full of nudge-nudge-wink-wink Wasteland refrences and New Vegas just straight up has a GIGANTIC FUCKOFF METAL STATUE of a Fallout character shaking hands with a Wasteland character.
