Face Hugr @facehugr - Tumblr Blog

you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.

its a shame ditherpunk never took off

rainy-days-will-never-end-deact

What’s that?

glitchtrad

pixel art but in 1-bit, i.e. only black or white pixels. you create shading via dithering, or densities of black pixels vs white pixels, hence “dither punk.”

It’s lo-fi and retro in a very goth way

Only slightly related - the GIFs above are all visuals from the video game Return of the Obra Dinn. The game is by the same guy as Papers, Please and is about an insurance investigator trying to uncover the mystery behind the Obra Dinn, a ship that left with a full crew and returned devoid of life and in tatters. The player goes backward and forward through time and uses clues in each scene to fill out a list of crewmates and their various means of death. It’s a very fun game, especially with friends!

Huh!

Elite Dangerous Cozy Side-Scroller?

hey folks i've been meaning to boost Ross Scott's Stop Killing Games initiative but i don't trust myself to write something exhaustively informed about it, has someone already made a good post on the subject that i could reblog?

time-sensitive note: if you're located in Australia you have until May 20th to sign the petition!

orteil42

to cover as many bases as possible, here's -

50-sec ultra-abridged explanation by Ross Scott:

10-min video summary by another youtuber:

text recap:

this is a consumer rights movement looking to establish legislation regarding companies shutting down paid video games. the general idea is that a game you purchased should have an end-of-life plan to keep it playable in some form after its servers shut down (such as by making server software publicly available).

You can visit StopKillingGames.com for more details and ways you can help.

(there's an FAQ addressing edge cases you might think of!) depending on your location there's a variety of ways you can contribute, such as by signing a petition or contacting a representative. you can also spread awareness by sharing Ross's videos or posts like this one. please consider helping! this is important both for your rights as a consumer and for video game preservation!

hug-your-face

According to the form, "you must be a resident or citizen of Australia to sign this petition." So:

Please sign the petition before May 20, if you are!

Please reblog, if you aren't!

TLDR:

This is requesting that the Aus govt enact legislation requiring that videogames must not be prevented from working after their end-of-life. (Eg "won't launch unless it phones home to a corporate server that no longer exists")

If you pay for a game you should not be technically or legally prevented from running it (no requirement for companies to continue to support their EOL games; but they can't stop a fan community from keeping it running)

This would have very good international effects on game publishing even though it would be an Aus law, just like GDPR had international effects even though it is an EU law

Well, this is horrifying.

Alec Turner - The Extreme SLF Docking Challenge

I admit I realized what the Challenge would be as soon as I recognized the music.

I further admit that I was yelling while watching this vid. It's been a while since a YT video has made me Feel Things So Much.

TRON 2.0 discounted 75% during New Year GOG 2024 Sale

TRON 2.0 is 75% off ($2.49 USD) at GOG.com during their New Year Sale until February 5, 2024!

Alan Bradley has finally perfected the technology to digitize people, which allows huma

Unlike the Steam version of TRON 2.0, this one is DRM-free. Meaning you can download a portable installer program, and install the game on as many computers as you like, as many times as you like. Without ever needing to be online to play, after downloading. (Well, unless you want to play Multiplayer, that is!)

While you can install and play the game as-is, I’d recommend checking out this guide on Steam:

In its original state, this game is a bit outdated. It doesn't support widescreen, multiplayer is broken and it has some bugs. These are the

Even though the guide is hosted on the Steam site, the advice there also applies to the GOG version. Modding the game will add support for widescreen display resolutions, and even fix the broken Multiplayer so you can play it again.

And, yes, any version of TRON 2.0 (Retail disc, Steam, GOG) will work on any version of Windows. Including the latest releases of Windows 10 and 11.

Even the Retail disc (CD/DVD) version of TRON 2.0 can be made to work on Windows 10 and 11, if you follow the first two steps of advice in the Steam guide.

why arent u exploring the ocean its literally right underneath us ?? u can send a robot a million miles into space looking for aliens but not into the giant void that takes up the majority of the earth we live on?? please i am scared

stephendann

NASA knows. NASA has seen the dark beneath. NASA’s urgency to leave the planet grows ever stronger

acutely-autistic

More people have been to the moon than the bottom of the ocean.

stephendann

More people have come back from the moon than the bottom of the ocean too

gazztron

But darling, it’s better down where it’s wetter…

postmodernmulticoloredcloak

I’m pretty sure there is a more mundane reason why the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, agency responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research, of the government of the United States, isn’t exploring the ocean

stephendann

Yes, yes. Very Mundane. No Giant Scary Things in the sleepless depths, nosiree bob, look, do you mind standing a little closer to the ocean? Like, this other side of me? No reason.

Definitely 100% Absolutely No Reason Other Than Official Demarcation of Exploring Lines. Yup.
