I thought it was time to make a Twitch trailer, a selection of the kind of crap that I take on stream, random singing / laughter / bad jokes / banging the keyboard / dying inside.
Plus the song everyone loves.
All this and very much less on www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...

Another day, another assortment of DOS stuff that BEGS to be played (or maybe put out of its misery).
Live in 10 minutes, let's check what this big package is.

So, Runaway.
Not the Spanish adventure, but a German 1993 shareware Dos game where you play as a monkey running from the zoo.
It's like a fever dream. The interface barely works, the humor is semi-incomprehensible and the game features screens filled with poop, wise parrots and animal experiments.

This "bad art is necessary to help us appreciate the good" discourse makes me think that people should play Harvester.

My Discord masters decided that I should play Noctropolis as I continue #dosember tonight. What luck.
Of course, more DOS shenanigans as a warmup. 9.30 (in 30 mins): www.twitch.tv/thegenesiste...

In which I bang on for a few hundred words about Larry Cohen's gobsmacking 1976 grunge masterpiece, God Told Me To.

God Told Me To | What modern cinema could learn from a low budget, 50 year-old thriller
Writer-director Larry Cohen’s God Told Me To is cheap, cynical, grimy, weird - and far more mesmerising than any $250m blockbuster.

Blood Refreshed Supply is a bit of a headscratcher.
Compared to the much cheaper Fresh Supply, it only includes some QoL updates and bug fixes (even though the game is buggy right now but nvm). For 28 EUR / 30 dollars? Hmm.
Weird that it wasn't released as a free update (like with Quake)

You know French games from the 90s are weird, right?
Bargon Attack is weird even for their standards. Semi-incomprehensible plot (I guess you need to know the comics?), weird mishmash of graphics (digitized, realistic, deformed), changes in gameplay. It feels like an alien's idea of an adventure.

Dino Dogs VR was a game in development at Judobaby around 2017. A mad scientist by the name of Dr. Dogonovitch, has shaken up the world of Dog Football which he intends to dominate with his technology & creations. The game seemed to be "straightforward" dogs football, except you know with dinos.

Let's spice up this grey Wednesday with one of the most unique game soundtracks.🧵
Skullmonkeys by Terry Scott Taylor picks up where he left off with The Neverhood. Instead of a simple acoustic affair, this spirals out in all kinds of directions, following the platformer's different areas/moods.

Sometimes I wonder how many recursive loop layers we can reach when I see people selling pirated copies of pirated Italian games from the 80s.
Perhaps the right term is "reproductions"? But then again, the originals were "reproducing" the games too so... uh... I have a headache.
