I have to say, that is extremely cool!

I doubt I'd use it myself but I can definitely see the need for something like this.

It's a hard quality to keep, things were new and exciting back then. We've seen so many games by now that there's not much left to impress. How often does something truly new and ground breaking actually come around?

That's not saying that there's no good games any more, there are but most of them are spins on something that's already been done.

But yeah.. that sense of wonder and excitement, it's a precious thing.

I do that too. Especially with books. Start doing research for something new to read.. finally settling on something that sounds really good.

Only to find I've already gone through that exact process and bought the book a few years back but never actually read it.

That's pretty neat!

Haha never heard of that one!

Maxis were pretty impressive back then! Pioneers really.

Yeah.. it's playable in the browser on a bunch of places and probably easily available as abandonware as well. But yeah, it's sad how few old games are available for actual purchase.

My thoughts exactly!

Interesting, going to have to check it out!

Not bad!

The old one was good as well though :)

Yeah.. hope it gets fixed! Having the actual federation work seems like a pretty big deal in a federated network.

It might just have to reclaim it's spot on my night stand again soon. :)

Very true. :)

There's a bit of gore in there too, not much, but still.

It Takes Two is a great co-op (no singleplayer) game where you play two parents who are going to a divorce when they are turned into two dolls and need to find their way to their daughter while getting across their yard and house.

It's really fun for couch co-op!

Ouch.. that's a bad one.. at least it's being looked at.

What happened to stuff that's not federated due to a crash? Will they be permanently unavailable from other instances until this is fixed?

The Tale of Sinuhe is an ancient Egyptian story about 4000 years old so that might fit the bill? :)

I haven't read it myself yet though I've got it laying around here somewhere.

Yeah, it has its downsides. zsh with some addons is probably better overall. Or if you're at least aware of it's differences from bash and can work with that.

Beautiful shots! Cute noodle!

I'll try to remember to report back when I've finished it and let you know what I think!

Fish (or zsh with some addons) will give you tab completion based on previous commands, might be something of interest?

Here's some addon tips if you'd rather run zsh instead of fish:
