I don't think he cares lol, he was annoyed about US defaultism so I told him about aussie.zone
Finally! I've been trying to get an Australian friend to join aussie.zone... it's so hard to convince people 😭
I've tried to get GamesDoneQuick to at least bridge their Bluesky account to Mastodon, but no luck
They took forever just to make their Bluesky account as an alternative to their Twitter
Nightmare on Elm Street looks cool
Ok then my actual suggested forgotten gem is the DESTRUCT minigame inside of Tyrian
Oh also The Incredible Machine, I played #2 so much as a kid
does The 7th Guest count as forgotten? lol !stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com
a horror FMV puzzle game, the local theater actors really hammed it up, the soundtrack slaps, and the atmosphere is great
also Tyrian, which is freeware now https://www.gog.com/en/game/tyrian_2000 Not very forgotten either, but at least I'm not saying Doom!
make sure to try the DESTRUCT cheat code https://tyrian.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats#Secret_Gameplay_Modes
I think writing these things may not be as easy as it seems, or the good writers just aren't volunteering. Anyone is welcome to take a shot at it as the docs are open source on Github, make some pull requests!

But you're right, motivated users will make it work. People who are just pretending to take a moral stand against Reddit will continue to complain and think up new excuses and questions without ever moving
2026 or 2025? I thought it was 2025
I can't believe it took them this long lol. There's like millions of whatever latest Samsung Galaxy phone, running that compilation locally millions of times is just a waste of global compute power and everyone's time, run it once in the cloud and cache it.
Some day LW will enable parallel sending lol, hopefully soon. I'm really curious how much it will help.

Happy 40th anniversary to the first game in the King's Quest series, one of the first graphical adventure games, and where Sierra really made their name.
This game also kicked off the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine, which Sierra used for many games. Wikipedia says: They employed it in 14 of their games between 1984 and 1989, before replacing it with a more sophisticated engine, Sierra's Creative Interpreter. There's no Wikipedia article for the SCI engine, but I know it was used in Phantasmagoria and Shivers, here is the ScummVM wiki page for SCI instead.
Wikipedia Synopsis
King's Quest: Quest for the Crown is an adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line and published originally for the IBM PCjr in 1984 and later for several other systems between 1984 and 1989. The game was originally titled King's Quest; the subtitle was added to the games box art in the 1987 re-release, but did not appear in the game.
It is the first official part of the long King's Quest series (not counting 1980's Wizard and the Princess), in which a young knight, Sir Graham, must save the Kingdom of Daventry to become the king. Designed by Roberta Williams, the game was revolutionary and highly influential in the evolution of the graphic adventure game genre by introducing more detailed graphics and animation.
An official remake titled King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown was released in 1990. An unofficial remake was released by Tierra Entertainment in 2001.
