Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
I wish I had the guts to play it - the anxiety I got from the water-tornados and huge vast emptiness of space, the black hole - the game did such an amazing job at giving me an overwhelming sense of dread that I had to just stop playing. I consider that a compliment towards the game lol
One of my most nostalgic games! I replay it yearly - the ambient sound effects and drone and atmosphere is incredible - the space levels have a creepy feeling despite the comedic tone it often goes for.
I'm in Canada, albeit one of the more stupid, redneck provinces (Alberta) and whenever Justin Trudeau's social media team posts to Instagram, the right-winger kooky homophobes like to come and scream for the sake of screaming.
On a recent one where Trudeau was supporting drag queens and the LGBT crowd, a man was screaming and crying about drag queens being "groomers" (again, it's the right-wingers that are the ones molesting children) and said that drag queens and the "gays" just like to "expose themselves to strangers" as a "kink".
The irony? His profile photo is him laying on his back and exposing his bare ass. He's exposing himself more than any drag queen would, while losing his mind about drag queens.
I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard....
I just tried Praha for the first time last year and went repeatedly for the beef tartar 🤤!
And Rigolettos moved to something like 104th street and 100th ave, and then to somewhere on Jasper Ave closer to Chinatown - did it used to be on Rice Howard?
Perched on a cliff in the Bavarian Alps near Füssen, Germany, the Neuschwanstein Castle is the epitome of the idyllic. Its spires soar to the heavens, while the surrounding landscapes are an invitation to daydreaming. It’s the stuff of fairytales, so much so that the man who had it built is dubbed the “fairytale king” —...
I visited this castle recently and it's pretty gorgeous - a lot smaller on the inside than you'd think, and the tour basically is designed to get you in and out as fast as possible. But the view from the back windows after the tour is complete is a stunning vista worthy of a lot of photos. The walk up to the base of the castle is very picturesque, and there's options to take a horse & carriage ride up, if you're in a rush.
If you ever visit Munich, I highly recommend visiting as a day-trip!
@Otome@kbin.social oh dang you're right! I just saw a couple pop up! I swear this morning I wasn't seeing any and just assumed I was in the wrong place. I don't understand HOW discoverability works on this protocol, but I've searched for magazines I know exist here on other kbin instances and they never showed up, so I wonder if some items have a lag to them before they show up elsewhere
Farscape has some of the most unexpected weird/dark plot twists that I can recall from a show like it. I watched it 10 years ago and it was an amazing, wild ride best gone into totally blind. I wish more people knew about it!
And the Lurkers Guide is still online! I've been doing the suggested chronological-without-spoilers first time watchthrough and have been reading the guide after every episode. You can tell a lot of the scripts were planned well in advance!

Nope - watching a group of people fucking-around-and-finding-out who could have helped end world hunger instead funneled resources into their own narcissism brings me a little shred of joy
