I have a quest(ion) for you peeps:

Most kids here interact with their first computer when they get to high-school (13yo here), so I want to make a game library of classics and indies for my kiddos age 13 to 18. My idea is that:

  1. They have DRM-free fully patched games to play that do not require internet connection to function at a basic level, so single-player or at most LAN capable games with single-player are encouraged. (Couch coop like Worms is fine, too.)
  2. They can play something without the present day enshittified gambling boogaloo mechanics, so we can tackle the gambling epidemic a bit earlier from at least this angle,

The list will obviously feature the most accessible from GOG.com's list of Good Old Games, like Fallout 1+2, Neverwinter Nights, Skyrim, Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital, Simcity 3000, Civ 4 and Planescape: Torment, amongst others. I'd also add Sims 2 or 3.

Now, what else would you add to that list? Space is cheap nowadays, so if you suggest a game it will almost assuredly be added to the game library for these kiddos to enjoy.

Boosts appreciated!

I love how Spanish-speaking ant-keepers pronounce "Camponotus"

"Comp pu NO tus"

I'm starting to do it myself, it's just a more fun way to say the name of the genus.

When you live in a big city, you end up with a lot of random businesses with generic names following the pattern of "<name of city> <kind of business>".

For some examples of business that may or may not exist in my city: "Chicago Plumbing", "Chicago Tacos", and "Chicago Parkour Supply".

I think it would be great if a local indie studio (or the next long lost child of midway) were to be named "Chicago Videogames".

ciatmusings,

@aeva "Chicago Tower Defenses"

    @cafou if they really made realistic hacking, it'd be basically just opening fedi/discord/tele like usual and... no that's it. sounds pretty comfy and non dramatic lol
