@memnus@octodon.social fuck I played so much windows pinball.

Some of mine. Maybe not that obscure really, but:

Star Wars Episode 1:racer. Podracing game. Actually pretty cool.

Re-Volt, a kart racing game where you play RC cars.

The weirdest of the bunch: Vangers, a russian-developed scifi car exploration/combat game I honestly never got very far in because the UI was unbelievably muddy and hard to read.

Okay Mastodon! What weird/obscure video games did you play a ton of as a kid because they were all you had access to?

Procedural/random content works exceptionally well for this game, since there's literally no way of predicting what will happen if you keep on trying to find a better home. Maybe things will work out, maybe you'll never see as good a planet again, maybe a micrometeorite will smash your sensors or probes and make things harder.

Interacting with people on Awoo/Mastodon is helping my friend group become more diverse!

I'm meeting more boys and het people!!

A beautiful procedural game about a starship AI trying to find a new home planet for the last humans alive.

Things currently in the #Mastodon pipeline: private toot federation, confirmation dialogs for destructive actions like deleting and blocking

I know people would love a public roadmap, I'm just kind of.. the opposite of Molyneux.. I don't like promising stuff until I've gone and done it, so bear with me.

I enjoy listening to audiobooks in the car while navigation is also on.

He cut off the dragon's head in a furious swipe of the greatsword and exclaimed, "IN ONE THOUSAND FEET, TURN LEFT."

Really makes for immersive storytelling.

Art commission question/gripe 

Oh, this is for a ref sheet. I'd be a lot less impatient if it was for more general art, but since it's a ref sheet I'm holding off on getting anything else until I have it.

Art commission question/gripe 

If an artist you're commissioning says they'll be "really slow", what expectation does that set? I opened a commission with an acquaintance quite a while ago and sent a finalized description on the 28th of march. I got an message received confirmation 2 weeks later, and haven't heard anything since. I was told not to send payment until I got at least a basic sketch.

I commissioned them b/c their anatomy drawing is good and I'm too nervous to approach a stranger.

Changed my avatar because I like representing myself this way and awoo needs more furry art anyway :)

Explicit lewd fantasy, very #nsfw 

@memnus@octodon.social I'm shivering now <3

Personal Trans Venting, Family, Sleepy mumbling 

@FragileVal the internet made me trans and that's a very good thing. Supportive communities are so important, and I wish parents etc didn't think repression is an actual solution.

D&D story 

@vahnj dang in my game of Dresden Files RPG tonight I /shredded/ some goons the abusive fundie cult I grew up in sent to try and abduct me, which was kind of re-traumatizing. They almost succeeded. Then I had an intense conversation with the priest in our party about the ethics of violence. I'm kind of still decompressing after the session ended for the night.

RPGs are a good space for doing morally dubious shit in a safely sandboxed environment.
