  • Yeah, I went in casually. I had a bad time, died twice, and never knew what was going on. There are better games, IMO, unless you’re really itching to replay ADOM from your youth.

    Im seeing Qud make the news rounds. Its overwhelmingly popular on steam, but IMO that’s because it’s only being played by its core audience. If others pick up because they’re seeing it on the news, I think they will be in for a rough time and that rating will reflect that change.



  • I saw a lot of negative comments in a YouTube thread. I only played the OG once, so perhaps it’s not sacred enough to me, but what I saw looked good.

    P.s. when I completed my first playthrough, it was in 2021. My experience is that the original is not as good, now—compared to modern games and storytelling—than rose-colored glasses might suggest.


















  • If you’re on Lemmy, you’re already set up to “not understand”. You probably have no trouble installing a new chat app and using it.

    I chat with 20-30 people in my neighborhood, all middle aged adults, and they all have iPhones. If I were to ask, only one would accommodate my request to use a different app, and it’d still be disruptive to his routine. I’m not angry at any of these folks; I blame Apple. Though they have a good product, they are totally behaving like a monopolist.

    It’s not the features and never has been. It comes preinstalled, it just works, and it works perfectly with most people. No one calls it “iMessage”. They call it “texting”.
