you gotta understand that its good for me to be esoteric. its more chaotic, it puts the newbs on edge. the tocky newbs, i guess. it means that my writing is something that must be contemplated and not rushed through. also its funny, it has at least the promise of a punch line.

i want dudes to be like: hmmmm i think i git it. but do i really get it..... hmmmm

i stayed away because i wasnt treated well. i also had to wait a long enough time for peopel to forget me in order to play the heretic. tbh noone would really remember me anyway. the message is this: the young people will not learn to read but we must teach them either way

yeah, i never played it but same feel. kings quest, too. all of them.

um, but you can see that space has a forced perspective, it is not ortho. not exactly ortho. mansion is more-ortho because it does these long pans.

also larry loungelizards... i was too young to play it but also all of the error checking to make sure kids dont get in was trivia for a previous generation of kids that were too young.

the other thing about MANSION is it is very object-oriented.
you have a limit on how many dudes you have, a limit on how much they cn carry, and a limit on which dudes can do which actions with the things. so it's a puzzle in that way. the tentacle game is the same. but it does not let you choose yur own dudes. any-3-dudes can solve it

CGA monkey island is the best monkey island. the vga port is pretty, and the modern one is interesting. but they aint the same

YEAH, ITS ORTHO, ORTHO IS GOOD FOR US

ok, so im sorry all you guys are not as good at puns and irony as i am. or rather, im sorry im not better at explaining myself in few wods. more words is often better.

you can tell a lot about a person by the content of their characters.

on yahtzee: peopel i know have known peopel who have known yahtzee. i have played his trivia night and i have played his games. people think hes a good dude, i think hes too mean and too crude for me to seriously want to hang out with him. but um, they do dev meetups at mana bar, and i should go to those, even if not to trivia night. i shouldnt avoid the ghost of yahtzee crowshaw. just im a little afraid of him i think.

anyway, if yahtzee is hastur in this town, truna is eredis. truna scares me also. i took her game history class and she doesnt remember me. she didnt even talk about my game history, she talked about her game history. but all of this is fine.

anyway, from this marriage of hastur and eredis, we get vaporwave. vaporwave is the new metal. i am fond of it.

THE BEST THING ABOUT MANIAC MANSION IS THE LOSING IS FUN DYNAMIC

they catch you, they put you in the dungeon. if you have a dude in the dungeon you can use a second dude to get tehm to escape. it's always possible to escape.

it uses a 16-color subset of the ega palette, in fact it uses the cga palette i think. both are spaces not schemes. but listen: all 16-color ega permutations are good palettes for some purpose.

because of this it is forced into making good decisions as regards color.

yahtzee lives in my city, i'll interview him for you if you must know. i think hes still man-hat and not lady-hat but he might be neutral. neutral is more his style i think. he does need to be the only dude in the room wearing a hat. HE RUNS THE TRIVIA NIGHT AT MANA BAR. he wrote a novel also: MOG WORLD, I HAVE READ IT AND ITS KINDA PRATCHETT BUT NOT AS GOOD. THE MAIN CHARACTER IS A RINCEWIND LICH. ITS SET INSIDE WORLD OF WARCRAFT

I RECKON ITS GOTTA BE MANIAC MANSION. i prefer loom, and monkey island, but maniac mansion, or even zak mckraken, is prototypical (never played zak mckracken tho)

im tempted to say one of YAHTZEE CROSHAWS GAMES but it is the idea of being a fedora king i want to talk about truly, still he made good games back in the adventure game studio days.

he understands that if you put a number in the title it comes first alphabetically, old shareware trick.

if we do a big brother game, we venerate big brother. worth it.

something liek dangerous dave? wolfenstein.

I DONT EVEN FUCKING KNOW. YOULL HAVE TO GIVE ME MORE TIME

morrowind i guess. good gnosis game, not a great praxis game. at least as-relates-the-pixel. certainly the best bethesda game, cruelly under-examined

in fact im already planning to write that thread, on tigs if not here

MAYBE LOOM, MAYBE A BIG BROTHER GAME. SOMETHING THAT IS AN ADVENTURE, MANIAC MANSION? DID WE DO THAT ONE ALREADY?

books actually make knowledge more free. i think this dude would be willing to credit helm and the people on the wayofthepixel forum for all of their fine work. and then we get more newbs

but more importantly, all of this pixel gnosis is out there; it's in the air. they guy could get it from bitmap brothers as surely as he could get it from helm

in any case we would have a new heresy. heresies are healthy so long as they do not destroy us
