(the sequel to ) is one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm really hype for this remake. I'm astounded by how accurately they were able to maintain the look and feel of the original visuals.

Most remakes go for more of a "reimagining”. For Riven, I think they wanted to bring the original pre-rendered visuals to life, so we can truly step into the world for the first time. And it holds up! I couldn’t ask for more.

snoopy,

@tournesol à force d'en faire, tu verra les automatismes des auteurs et autrices de mots croisées. Du moins, c'est ce que disait ma grand-mère qui faisait les mots croisées du journal Le Monde.

Perso, j'en ais jamais réellement fait. Par contre les puzzles style et ça me branche ​:meow_game_controller:​

@littlealex @monkeydom “I realized, the moment I fell into the fissure, that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed, but I must admit, however—such conjecture is futile. Still, the question of whose hands might someday hold my book are unsettling to me.…”

I've seen some real raving reviews of Outer Wilds, even comparing it favorably to Myst.

Haven't played it myself, but I thought I have to let you know that it's on 40% sale in the Humble Store, where some of the money goes to charity, and even more than usual if you go trough this link: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/outer-wilds?partner=eanorge&charity=1301357

I'd love to try it. Have you? What are your thoughts?

Starting to wind down a tad for the holidays… played for an hour on my desktop, and like the last time I played a month ago, felt horribly nauseous. To all those VR people out there like @rpavlik any chance this would go away if I had a good VR headset? Pre 50s I never had this issue. My son claims a headset will fix this.

Hi! I’m daniel, aka dpadular, and I’m here to post about video games with y’all.

I’ve been playing since the original NES days, but really fell in love with video games when I first encountered the original in the arcade.

I’m a bit of a generalist, and my recent games have been , , , and replaying and for the first time in 20 years. I’m currently working my way through for the first time and really digging it

I should be catching up on so many things: High Republic comics & novels, the third Scholomance book, mangas that sit unopened in my library, so many series and animes, getting fresh air or even DAMN SLEEP but here I am, replaying Riven for the twenty-fifth time. :blobcat_party:

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. It's a game that's had an incredible impact on my life, and opened countless opportunities. I pretty much got into coding and software development as a result of the community around this game.

I wrote a bit to reflect on that and recognize everything this game has brought to me: https://dpogue.ca/articles/uru-20th-reflections.html

EDIT: Turns out the update is actually live now

It looks like a massive update is coming to Myst Online tomorrow.

screenshot from Cyan's facebook sayingTomorrow is URU's 20th anniversary! Can you believe it?! Neither can we.Just in time for the celebration is the latest fan update to MOULa (Myst Online re-imagined as an MMO set in the vast, explorable universe of Myst)! It includes a new D'ni area, new audio for the intro with a new voice-over by Rand Miller, updates to six fan ages, and more surprises! Visit https://mystonline.com/ to learn more.If you thought this MMO was dead, or never even knew about it, I don’t blame you. Uru came out in 2003 and while it did alright critically, it was a big commercial flop and nearly killed Cyan. The online portion of the game was quickly shut down and was unplayable until Gametap paid to revive the game and have Cyan create new content for it. Eventually this ended too and Myst Online was shutdown again until Cyan brought it back again for free on their own servers, which are kept up by donations. It was essentially the same game as the one at the end of Gametap’s run, static and no new content, until a few years ago when Cyan started adding fan content. While it will never be a massively popular game, it does receive regular updates now and seems to be getting a big one tomorrow. I’m not sure if this will include the Descent Expansion update that has been in development for a long time, which uses content from Myst 5.

If you’re a Myst fan but have never played Myst Online, give it a shot! It’s a bit clunky and dated, but I think it still looks nice for a game from 2003 and there hasn’t really been anything like it since then. Plus you can play it entirely for free here.
