One, two
Wolves live inside you
That's what I said now
Wolves, wolves who adore you
Just go ahead, now

@ElectricKeet To me, Chex Quest isn't a guilty pleasure, it's just a pleasure! The sequel level packs in particular have some impressive colorful vistas and a charming-if-not-witty sense of humor.

@micolithe@snouts.online HEXIC FOR MS-DOS!

I'd love to learn the speed routes for games like Hexen, Dark Forces, and the Marathon games since the main things holding them back are poor signposting. (To some extent a problem in all the 90s shooters, but it's worse when there's things to do besides collect keys and get the exit.)

Anyways, here is my power ranking of good games:

Doom 2 > Doom > Blood > Hexen > Duke3D* > Heretic > Chex Quest > Dark Forces > Marathon trilogy (probably) > Rise of the Triad > Wolf3D > Strife > Blake Stone

* depending on how much you can tolerate 90s bullshit

Nowadays we have singular games that are updated and played for a longer time on the calendar than it took to evolve the technology and gameplay for id Tech 1. That's bananas!

I made a list of sprite-based shooters and it's still wild to me what a giant year-on-year leap it is from Catacomb 3-D to Wolfenstein 3D to Doom. It's like going from Mario 1 to Super Mario World in half the calendar time.

There are two wolves inside you

And a dragon, an otter, a sergal, and a robot

You spend a lot on ref sheets

I was testing games out for stream viability but I was like "...if I got lost in the third level of this then it will only get worse later on"

I have the song from Trio the Punch stuck in my head.

@RyanSheebs multiple times over its history. For example, Atari Inc ended up splitting into two major companies, Atari Corp and Atari Games, and they both ended up in separate unrelated lawsuits against Nintendo

The history of Atari is one heck of a Ship of Theseus problem.

there's no point in taking your Champion characters into a Champion quest unless you've also done the town upgrade work to get them level 5 equipment and skills. I say this with a dead crusader :C

Darkest Dungeon sure does punish you for trying to punch above your weight class, tbh
