@diffractie I remember seeing the initial screenshots and thinking it looked complicated.

There are quite a few different numbers on screen! Fairly straightforward to learn pretty quickly though.

That said, there are several aspects/mechanics to the game that are not obvious. Up to you to stumble and discover them yourself or to look up some explanation guide.

This exploration and discovery is deliberately by-design for the game though.

Though no mind-blowing revelations like some games.

@mossmouth I really want a "functioning" LX with an honest to God widescreen CRT and 50 floppies to load games!

I am somewhat surprised by the decision to design these games without a pause button. Makes sense in this collection because of the system-wide pause, I can see having two pause menus being weird. Worked OK in Block Koala though.

Loving this collection!

@grumpygamer @vampiress Awesome!

I think we're approaching this collective brainstorming all wrong. We're not going to solve the xz problem by throwing pennies at burnt out over worked hobby maintainers or by making them jump through extra bureaucratic hoops in the name of security theater. There's only one reasonable solution here and it's to turn maintaining critical open source projects into REALITY TELEVISION.

@rodneylives I'm assuming that this has to do with Google's recent move to crack down on YouTube ad blockers as well as new Chrome extensions making ad blockers less capable.

While I do use an ad blocker, I wonder what the internet would look like with no advertising. Would every website be behind a paywall? That sounds almost worse than the current situation.

How should the internet operate? Servers and bandwidth are not free regardless of whether individuals get paid.

@KyleOrl I'd happily follow you on BlueSky if I could sign up.

"The Boys are Back in Town" just played on Spotify for me.

I was left with the question, "Where were the boys before they came back to town?"

This article accurately summarizes some of the questions I have about this song:

Anyone have any answers???
