Hey Richard, your latest comment on intfiction came across as a total drive-by troll move in a tense situation. What, in all honesty, was the purpose of that post?

Aaaand the discussion kicks off with some folks being dicks about Twine games on intfiction.org. (And then a bunch of people telling them to knock it off.) Sigh. Anyway the games are listed on the IFComp page in alphabetical order, and Richard deci…

I've been on an English Country Tune binge after finishing only three worlds or so the first time I played it. It's good! (Broadly speaking it's a geometric puzzle game, the first levels are pretty much Sokoban but there are a huge nu…

Seriously it's like a reskinned Find Your Keys Simulator. And why are all the walkthroughs in Polish?

Just tried Europa Concept on the recommendation of Adrian Chmielarz and freeindiegame.es (I'd had it downloaded for a while but the download was corrupt, I guess?) What a useless fucking waste of an hour. The reviews are all "ooh, atmosphe…

Those aren't frightening! Those are kind of cute! Especially the way they sit there waiting for you to punch them without killing you! Except of course I always walk right into them while trying to get into range!

I've been playing Probability 0 a bunch. It's really good! And it doesn't take long because I die fast. Still haven't beaten my high of 21 or seen a boss monster. Has anyone encountered a black cloud that follows you and kills y…

I liked Waking Mars! One thing I liked about it is that it doesn't try to knock you over the head--it's a gardening simulator and you can do everything in a pretty leisurely way. I haven't gone for 100% completion and alternate ending…

I too say Uhr-KELL, but maybe I'll switch to Urkel like on Family Matters.

What an ingrate I am, asking for comments about my game and when I get one whipping out the old duck dick. So yeah you have the main idea, that "you" is (literally) dreaming of meeting with "I" and making things right and thinki…

"I'm with the parser crowd in that Twines are rarely games" This is like that show You Bet Your Life. Say the magic word and the duck comes down and... you don't want to know what the duck does.

So hey yeah here's the more I was going to say to Richard. I did know that Twine was a frontend for Twee and even that Twee compiled to TiddlyWiki. Or something like that. And I did wind up creating a start page that was just a link to the real…

A lot to respond to here but I can't right now because they plowed us in again and I have to shovel the driveway out before I take a kid to daycare. (You WILL be oppressed by my #dadfeels.) But two quick thoughts: 1. I'm sort of suspecting…

mwm, I don't especially wish to open up political arguments, but I have a hard time seeing how a positive outlook on genocide (particularly genocide directed at, you know, me) is not all that bad. Is it specifically because his Naziism was tied…

It's funny that you both mentioned BASIC because I was kind of like "Holy geeze, I'm doing BASIC again." And... well, I could probably write a BASIC program a lot more easily than Pascal or LISP these days, at least without a ton…

Well, you could say that it descended to Dear Esther before turning to a much more productive discussion of duck penis. You know, the next time someone comes in and turns to What Is A Game on electrondance, they're going to wind up very confus…

So completely derailing that intfiction.org thread into a discussion of duck penis was my main accomplishment of the day. That's a pretty good day, really.

Actually I was flummoxed by the "Grab my phone" command at the beginning of the game because all my phone does is call people.

Ha ha, no I hadn't played Saturday Night. I just went down the Fear of Twine roster playing games that didn't have sound, and boom, a picture of male duck genitals.
