playtesting this game is karma for all the years of playing rpgs i've gone through multiple playthroughs as the exact same character with the exact same personality and exact same choices. "pick some other roleplaying option in this roleplaying game with multiple roleplaying choices" i'm gonna be SICK

[herssian]

i do but they don't have a set personality or choices: they have all of them, concurrently. you take one person on an adventure and the path forks and i make them dig a third one right in the middle so they can be exposed to all the horrors. multiple times. it ensures not one choice is more canon than the other, for lack of a better word, and that everything is an equal eventuality in the parameters of the story

the choices don't ensure how canonical they are but the type of canon they wish to follow

[vonneschlecht]

choices in rpgs outline and shape the canon. you either chose to engage in this way or this way, but either way you engaged with it. the tone of the other option informs the one selected. all choices are possible, so non-choices are not possible.

When I was a kid watching tv was idiot coded and nerds read books, but now scrolling shortform videos is considered braindead behavior and watching tv means you're some kinda intellectual. You might think this shifting assessment of media's consumers might make readers into absolute super geniuses, but no. Only perverts read now.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

[omikronsoul]

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

BREAKING: Increased "Pjackk" sightings across Tumblr are being reported as many users claim to have seen a "disgusting metal object" interact with posts as recently as three hours ago, yet witnesses report that the blog in question remains inactive. Are these real sightings of the famed "Prototype Jack," or is this just an elaborate Tumblr hoax? We will report as more information becomes available.
