You can make it a popular genre. You just have to make a really cool dungeon crawler.

Haha, I doubt I could do anything really interesting or cool honestly. I'm no programmer, and I'm definitely no artist. About the only things I'm honestly really good at are blacksmithing and punching people in the face. Neither of those make a good game.

[Eric Blank]

Well shit, at least those are fun hobbies.

[Gunner-Chan]

Well yes, but as much as I enjoy punching people in the face the legal implications aren't nice.

Honestly neither is pulling teeth out of your knuckles.

[IcyTea31]

Use your blacksmithing skills to create a mechanical dungeon crawler out of metal?

I like semi-open world games. I mean, sure, games don't have to be open world, but if that's the case then you should give me infinite ammo or have a system like in Resident Evil, or let me select my loadout like in some games I can't remember. Otherwise it feels very oppressive and I always worry about being stuck in an unwinnable state, like in Metro Last Light where you will run out of knives very quickly if you aren't careful, and then you will have to go through hell and back to get more knives.

[Gunner-Chan]

It's kinda hard to genuinely get into unwinnable states these days though, especially with newer games. ... Like don't even get me started on sierras adventure games, or infocoms old text adventures...

I don't mind unwinnable states, as long as they aren't caused by bugs or UI.

Our oldest dog is fifteen. For a border collie, that's ancient. She struggles to stay standing with a foot lifted, she can't really run properly any more. But she's been a lot more cheerful and chirpy since we got two puppies a year or so ago.

Today, I bathed her. Now she's convinced she's a puppy too. Woah.

Aw, that sounds adorable. Ridiculously adorable.


My WTF: I hid some money in my room a while ago and now I can't remember where I hid it.
Good job, Yoink.

Good job, Yoink.

At least you know it's safe. If you can't find it, who else can?

Kobolds!

That's why I have my traps. I sure hope I don't start forgetting where I put those.

Edit: I just had someone ask me a question about a thing that I had thought about a little in the past when the thing was more relevant but didn't really know much of anything about, so I did a seach on the thing and found out stuff about the thing, and then I used my increased knowledge about the thing to offer the person a reply that was simultaneously clear, sensible, a little bit wordy-but-not-too-wordy and a little bit funny-but-not-too-funny.   
Is this what doing research-y things is like?

I mean, everyone here knows Losing is Fun.

Only so long as there is Fun in the Losing. If a glitch causes you to lose a game, you probably won't enjoy the experience much unless the glitch is especially amusing.

Youtube has suddenly decided to liberate me from comments, recommendations, and basically everything other than the video screen.

And nothing of value was lost.
