  • Some kind of (Atari?) console that I think only had pong, or if it had other games I can’t remember them.

    The first good games I played? Prince of Persia and Karateka on DOS, also mines of Titan but I had zero idea how to play that. Also word muncher; loved that game but I was a dumb kid and didn’t know the solutions many times. I also got an MSX keyboard and the little tape machine addon that somehow played video games off audio cassettes. I still have zero idea how you put video games on audio cassettes.









  • Dungeon keeper but with immortal redneck play as a complementary aspect; there are DK clones where you can possess monsters, but they lack what immortal redneck has to offer gameplay-wise.

    Also a game similar to void bastards but with multiplayer, more monsters, less crafting and more guns, and better/more varied environments, and no time limits. Also immortal redneck with multiplayer. Also ziggurat with multiplayer. Also hands of fate with multiplayer.

    Actually forget game, I wish there was a program that could force any game to be multiplayer; or a dev team you could hire that would do that.





  • there’s entire chapters that just go “x is the son of y is the son of z is the son of a who’s the son of b and the son of c”.

    I can’t speak to how relevant this is to history in most parts of the world, but interestingly in places like ancient Ireland, genealogy was an important part of identity. Among the questions a stranger would be asked would be who his father is, what his clan is and what his profession is. Obviously today we value different aspects of identity, but historically at least in some places (and at the point I’m mentioning in history, Ireland was Christian) bloodline was part of how people knew you; it’s a fascinating look into historical mindsets.
