Is there an alternative that folks on here like? I know there's federated alternatives to Goodreads for books. npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael @nprofile…5y0h ok, that's better than nothing npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael very excited that Itch.io is getting the ability soon to prune projects from people who don't approve the inclusion of their project. Perfect for when most folks have improved the inclusion of their project in a bundle but there's one person who just forgot and can't be contacted https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mtadpwmravjzlrbswfise34a/post/3mo27guxg3c2c npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Prompted by a post I saw elsewhere, I think most people who follow me know this but folks still make text adventure games and they’re still very good! You can download many free ones here https://ifdb.org Ok, that is all. npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael @nprofile…vsjg @nprofile…j0eh I think you toggle between the image version and detailed list?

I'm just having a really good time revisiting this era of freeware adventure games https://dosgame.club/system/media_attachments/files/114/071/384/887/390/350/original/9e33b178a9b1e1af.png npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael @nprofile…y4h5 thank you Misty npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael I was a lot more excited about this before the Wordpress/tumblr CEO started crapping his pants every week :/ https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/11/tumblr-to-join-the-fediverse-after-wordpress-migration-completes/ npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Playing some really early AGS games, since I never played most of the ones from this era, and they're old enough now (Lunchtime of the Damned was 2001) that I think we should make "throwback" adventure games that look like this https://dosgame.club/system/media_attachments/files/113/958/541/158/427/343/original/18fe1f7beef7ee15.png npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael I don’t even use it but it still doesn’t even feel real that Tiktok will just simply not be in the US pretty soon npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Got rambling on bluesky about it so I might as well post it here to make it official. Having become frustrated with companies like Piko buying the rights to lots of old games, hoarding them, and generally just kinda being assholes about it, my goal for 2025 is to do what these companies won't and buy the rights to a 20+ year old game and make it public domain. It may be a terrible Klik & Play game that someone made when they were 10, but it will happen. npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael once again thinking about the cybertub #annarbor https://aadl.org/aa_news_19950118_pa1-cybertub npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael @npub1vvz…jry3 was there any leadup to this?

It's not a 1:1 return to that era but it's still a lot of fun. npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Now streaming games from the Gender Constellation Bundle, which you can buy here https://itch.io/b/2367/gender-constellation-bundle-2024- https://www.twitch.tv/mikeklam npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Oh no Momofuku, what are you doing? #food npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael Man, this really sucks to read.

It doesn’t have to be anything big. It can just be a page on neocities. It’s just fun and nice having your own platform. If you already have a site, consider making a page or part of your site that links to other places you like to help people discover them, since Google is also decaying right now. npub1pm4s2capcefxxrhhwlxty8ktaahw7nw6r7zjk7t7a3nszzd9qfkqpr5krm Michael @npub1x6a…d5cx @npub1znz…8l64 it's because of the bikes!
