Alright, let's do a quick poll.
Recently, I have played and finished Harvester live. What adventure game should I finish next on Twitch?

@HauntedOwlbear haha! Hey, what am I the Sierra Crit- eugh. I just shuddered at that joke.

HauntedOwlbear, to Metal
@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe avatar

I have finally dragged on clothes, so welcome to !

I share my tee, you show me your tee/shirt/outfit, everyone looks awesome and cute, it's great.

Today's shirt is Ashenspire's Three Months to the Gutter tee, art by Hagiophobic.

They're an avant-garde red/anarchist black metal (RABM) band, and Hostile Architecture is one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, and upholding the rule that all metal bands with saxophones are good.

If you're near London in the UK, they're playing at Desertfest at the Electric Ballroom this afternoon at 14:30.

Listen to them: https://ashenspire.bandcamp.com/music

@HauntedOwlbear Probably the only blue t-shirt in my possession

@HauntedOwlbear but speaking of shirts, I was pretty amused by the fact I went to the gym a couple of days ago wearing a Machine Head "The Blackening" shirt while (randomly really) listening to the Blackening.
It was like:

  • what you listening to?
  • POINTS AT SHIRT

@HauntedOwlbear obviously no one came up to me to ask, so I just sat there and quietly amused myself.

Which definitely sounds like my average day.

@HauntedOwlbear that's how I feel when I (rarely, god forbid) end up making a great joke on Twitch and no one is there to laugh

Live now with some Tsunami media goodness (?)

Ready for a Tsunami of FMV and weird games? That's what I'll be playing today at 5.30 PM on Twitch, all games released by Tsunami Media, one of the first companies to go all out on FMV and real actors.
Be there or... not I guess.

something tells me @sonneveld will like this

@damianogerli@mastodon.social avatar

@ThreeOhFour @sonneveld love the idea of a budget Sierra company, even though it is fair to say most of their games do try so many different things that even Sierra would probably say no to (at least before 1994)

Love when publishers refused to spend any money on an actual cover art and went "nah the ad was enough".

@joelanman LOVED IT, man I should play it on Twitch

The interesting thing about finding a random phat PS3 in the streets is probably the fact that it works pretty fine.

The words “content creators” really depress me. What a soulless, corporate expression. It reduces what you make to “content” to be consumed. It reduces what you do to a business practice. It invisibilises all the specificity of your work.

You are making video? You are not a “content creator”, you are a videographer.
You are writing essays? You are not a “content creator”, you are an essayist.
You are investigating and compiling information? You are not a “content creator”, you are a journalist.

damianogerli,
@damianogerli@mastodon.social avatar

@Sylvhem may I add, if you are investigating and compiling information related to gaming? You are probably a "starving creator" as it is the one of worse industries to be in at the moment.

One can't say that back on the Apple II there weren't a huge choice of different games, such as this 1981 strategy game called Street Life where you... well, basically play as a pimp.

Hundreds of Beavers feels like a video game movie for a game that never existed. It uses the language of gaming, mixed with the classic Looney Tunes cartoon logic, in such a way that everything feels familiar but also hard to identify precisely.
Fascinating.

@steffo probably 15 minutes too long, but amazing they kept that idea going for so long

To cleanse the palate after that trip into the weird and edgy, time to bring on some MS-DOS educational titles today on Twitch at 5 PM (CET).
We're going to learn and we're going to forget. Always the best combo ever. https://www.twitch.tv/thegenesistemple

In 30 minutes the finale (maybe?!?) of my Harvester playthrough, let's find out what happens to Steve and his merry band of weirdos.

@Antrotroll in Friuli, era mesi fa

Antrotroll, to retrogaming Italian

Possibile aggiunta alla sezione trash. Visto video su yt e mi ha solleticato. Qualcuno ci ha mai giocato prima?

I got a hunger for 90s FMV games and I won't be satiated. So today it is time, again, to bring some of them to Twitch, at 5.30 PM (CET) I'm enjoying a selection of Urban Runner, Hell Cab and stop-motion weirdo Blackout.
See you on https://www.twitch.tv/thegenesistemple

@agustincordes it does. And of course I will play it on stream in full pretty soon
