@pnathan haha. nothin' like this game.

@Skirmisher one of the reviews made me a little emotional, soooo... that's promising

@pnathan word. well, it's nice to see someone (whose posts i see, i'm sure it still has quite a playerbase) playing it in 2018. hope it's fun! or at least that you die in cool ways.

@pnathan i wondered if increasing complexity would make readability harder, but perhaps not

i remember reading about the addition of multiple-story structures like a decade ago and thinking "jesus christ it was tricky enough while flat"

@pnathan oof

do many players use those gfx renderers that run alongside the game?

@pnathan i can't imagine how complex that is now, a decade after i last played it

@Skirmisher i just bought #secretlittlehaven based on your toot btw

@Skirmisher :)

@Skirmisher i enjoyed hangin' out with ya there

i really need to get back to streaming #mastodoom and other retro stuff. that was a happy place.

@frostotron one problem is windows 10 (at least with nvidia) will automatically update your gfx driver without asking. afaik the only way to stop this behavior is with a dumb hack where you rename a .dll

@matt oh, nice. wonderful game.

@frostotron their drivers are frequently bad on the windows side, too. it's absolutely required to head over to r/nvidia whenever new ones come out to see if they're giving people ruinous problems or are safe to "upgrade" to.

i'm regularly six months behind because it's just not worth introducing all those random bugs and regressions into a stable system

i also had a really bad time with AMD 3+ years ago but i hear they're better now for win drivers. hard to believe, but who knows.

@Maenad yes plz

@Skirmisher thanks for your take

my interest hinges entirely on how wild of a twist it can deliver. if i'm legit shook, then it might be worth the time invested

i hadn't heard of it until today

wow the bass in this, cranked at full volume, vibrates my headphones in a most pleasing way

i don't play VNs really but Doki Doki Literature Club! sounds intriguing?

@fjthom i didn't remember that track

it practically demanded an extended version, i'm glad YT delivered

this is neat

someone explained how they survived the early going of Zelda BotW's (not very fun-looking imo) higher-difficulty mode by farming wood so they could build fires whenever needed to pass time, in effect always keeping it nighttime so they could sneak past sleeping enemy camps
