Hello, I'm TaxOwlbear. I'm doing Let's Plays and focus on real-time strategy. HG101 Top 47K Games podcast co-host.
if there's anything i've learned after 15 years in this goddamn city, it's that finding someone who isn't a scumbag or a liar is harder than finding a thimble, a clock, a hula hoop, an hourglass, a picture frame, a duvet cover, a cookie tin, a claw hammer, a basketball, a toothbr
DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.

Here's something important to remember: computers.
Alien Bob but also@jeremyoduber.com · 4d agoRemember when I essentially inherited a whole collection of 8-bit Atari stuff? Well that same old family friend still had much more to give me. I don't even know what half of this is, so join me in this thread as I do a quick catalog.
You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.
Romhack.ing@romhack.ing · 4d agoIn memory of the translator, Eien ni Hen. May she rest in peace.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.
we live in a world where gen z gets chastised for not knowing some made up rules about bringing coffee to a job interview but the ceo of nvidia can say he doesn't know his own address
