People who think an avalanche of poor quality "indie" games is a modern thing should check out @Pixelmusement's Shovelware Diggers series
Saw a little bit of Strafe gameplay. Lots of issues just from that. From FOV to lack of feedback via gfx & sfx.
Please note that I'm not a backer of Strafe. Original pitch was "procedurally generated classic-style fps" which wasn't appealing to me. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/834447966538694662
Replying to @dosnostalgic
To me classic FPS is solid shooting mechanics AND interesting level design. Not just one or the other.

Can I just put it this out there: WinUAE is confusing as fuck. List of shortcuts? Nah. Aspect ration correction in full screen? Who knows.
Unlike Populous, this is a full 3D landscape. Can be zoomed in/out and rotated at will. Even in the Genesis port. Very impressive. https://x.com/darthhelmet86/status/835532238213144580
The UI is terrible. You'd think the'd streamline it for the Genesis version too, but nope. It's still horrible. https://x.com/MrNobre/status/835532150149541889
Dune 2 on Genesis is GREAT though. Everything is done right. New graphics, new controls, new missions. Everything has been tweaked.

The cum-cake eating scene was featured in one of the best films of last year. The other flicks were meh. https://x.com/rimramruff/status/836014247029141505

Maybe it's just me getting old, but I found most 2016 films lacking humanity. Even the pieces that were supposed to be the opposite.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Like Hidden Figures, and Lion. Both felt very calculated. I probably enjoyed Fences the most out of all Best Picture nominees.
I gotta see this one https://x.com/AmznMovieRevws/status/836017562559332356

Trying my first Toblerone

Everyone is tweeting me about Toblerone as if it's supposed to feel like the second coming of Christ in one's mouth. Relax. It's pretty good

What's this hullabaloo about Suicide Squad? Fucking The English Patient won a whole bunch of Oscars. Have you SEEN that movie?
Replying to @dosnostalgic
"S. Squad has more Oscars than BLAH-BLAH" Your reminder that Shakespeare in Love has SEVEN Oscars.
Harry and the Hendersons won an Oscar. How the Grinch Stole Christmas won an Oscar. Perl Harbor won an Oscar. Wolfman (2011) won an Oscar.
Replying to @franknsarcastic and @PushinUpRoses
I disagree. Many Oscars for makeup are fucking legendary. Just look at Rick Baker's work.
#Oscars are shit
(Also I actually secretly enjoy Shakespeare in Love)
Reading about what happened. Again. When just ONE winner needs to be announced, how hard is it to put just ONE thing on the fucking card?
Ok, reading the list of winners. Weird. Denzel didn't win? Overall this was a pretty shit year for Hollywood films.
Anyway, I'm fucking shot. Good night, everyone!
