@mcc The real horror of Darkseed is its design.

Almost 3 months on Prozac, and I gotta say - it works. I'm definitely a lot calmer these days. However, I think it's affecting my already short attention span.

@Viss I'm alright. I think I've got so much shit happen to me so fast I'm just incapable of being more upset than I already am, and I already learned to handle that particular situation, so 🤷.

Almost 44 minutes to beat the "Black Tower" map playing "Master Levels for Doom II" for the first time ever. Jesus Christ.

@aaronsgiles Huh. I did always wonder how SIMCGA actually worked. Neat.

@aaronsgiles Interesting. Do you have any examples of software that uses this?

@uastronomer I understand as much, but it's still not a great feeling to hear the cops say "yep, that's a crimescene. Call homicide."

So apparently what happens when your roommate most likely has a medical emergency and dies before dropping on the floor face first, and you report the body that you found when you got home from work, the whole situation gets filed as a homicide & a crime scene. 🤷♂️
Just putting it here for a record to say that I assume at this moment in time my fate is in the hands of the medical examiner. 🙏

@raven667 @MisterMoo Yes, I backed its crowdfunding campaign.

@raven667 @MisterMoo I actually have to hand it to Chris Jones for thinking that he could go toe to toe with professional actors, and then actually pulling it off! His acting also keeps improving throughout the games, and the 3rd game is a bit on the cheesy and humorous anyway, so he fits really well.

RIP James Earl Jones.
Here's his performance as "The Big P.I. in the Sky" in "Under a Killing Moon" (1994). #DOSGaming

Relax, don't do it

@nina_kali_nina I think I'm too exhausted to actually have any strong emotions about anything.

Aaaaannd that's yet another funeral in my immediate future. I'm having a helluva summer.
