I just spent half an hour reading about and screwing around with Swords of Freeport by @vampiress
It's a BBS Door Game for the Tilde era, and exactly the kind of thing I was looking for when I ran a tilde server.
(This is a thread, I'm untagging Elissa in the replies, but seriously thank you for making something neat, I've had a blast fiddling with it.)
A core conversation that I've been having lately starts like this:
What are computers for?
And I have a decent set of answers for that.
Computers are for:
- Creation
- Consumption
- Communication
The specifics vary, and there's also a "meta" category for the things that we do to manage computers, but most of what I do on a computer boils down to one of those things.
I write, I record music, I make videos, I write code.
I watch TV, I listen to music, I play games.
I post on the fediverse, I publish my blog, I send emails, I use an instant messenger.
Creation (and editing and remixing)
Consumption (and cataloguing and organizing and sorting)
Communication (and publication)
