it's fine, the mudcrab is authentically ineffective with its pincers.

I tried attacking it with my axe without success, and it also attacked me without success so I guess we're friends now X)

I wish you the best then! Might do something in the shadows to improve things.

consistently seeing wastes of money from AAA studios today, I must have done something to trigger the algorithms.

How does one call to action?

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 1d

I remember some books by Bernard Werber which cite music that the character is listening to while something happens, could be a cool thing to generalize.

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 1d

would you be interested in trying? :)

I'm a big fan of universal basic income. But also a big fan of quick temporary solutions that can be done by a community of like-minded people with a bit of internet knowledge :p

"data mining and leak culture has ruined the wonder and joy of discovery in new (pokemon) games" there's one easy solution to this and that's just playing random indie games nobody cares about instead

we should have some kind of searchable database for small indie games you think are cool but that no one cares about and you want more people to find them.

I live in France, which is already kind of advertised as a welfare state, but I'm sure we can do better by improving our current situation under capitalism in the mean time somehow. The next step would be what you suggest.

what can be put in place to promote a smaller scale for the video games industry? One that does not blow up budgets out of proportions to make incredible games which unfortunately fail economically because they sold only 1 million copies instead of the expected 1 billion?

I love board games

on the topic of worst games, here's one I found before that is actually painful to play (auditively) but otherwise ok. Probably made for a game jam.

never stop making

My research is going well so far

an excel sheet containing bad games that I actually had fun playing.

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 5d

thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had a blast playing it from beginning to end, and as expected from that era of gamemaker it had incredible midi music and occasional incredible pixel art. This will be very valueable to my research.

All right, I have just finished (and won, except maybe the burger one) all of them. Thank you so much for this invaluable contribution to my research :)

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 5d

that one was very funny thank you for that

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 5d

thank you, both were very interesting for my research :)
The "play all games" button on the first one is hilarious!

Adrien Dittrick @adriendittrick.bsky.social · 5d

this was actually fun with incredible music!
