@afrocosmist If we're getting adjectivistic, I've been enjoying feculant and congruent of late.

Fun fact! In computer software, X usually means quit.

@otherhappyplace That's awful. I hope you get relief asap. I know someone with chronic, agonizing, pain baffling the doctors, but they offer effective meds constantly. If possible, consider getting somewhere with free healthcare. You shouldn't have to worry about money on top of this.

@BlueKeyGames I tried the demo and loved it. Got that horror imsim creeping about, hoarding bullets and duct tape.

@JohanNohr Better to find yourself than lose yourself in one.

Which castle? Looks good

@datnofact The thing that bugs me is when an AI doesn't cheat, but actively ignores the rules. Particularly bad for turn based games when, for example, moving into enemy units starts a battle, but enemy units can move right through yours without issue

If I were making ad revenue from tweets, I feel like I'd be way too tempted to start making good tweets, and that's really not staying true to myself or my vision of what this platform should be.

The interesting thing is that, with all the chaos (twitte, Reddit etc) now would be the perfect time for a big player to join in/again the social network space, like Google or Microsoft, but they are all busy with AI.

@HughSJ Looks good to me! Can we see that on a Treehouse, y'know, just for reference?

[Tom Sandford @TheSnee]

@Miss_Ikari They did! The changes to the combat means less mutants and less cleaving through them with reckless abandon, but I still appreciate it.

The @NightdiveStudio System Shock Remake is excellent. Elevates the essence of the original but keeps the core atmosphere, it's great!

I do think the map/guidance could use some work. Backtracking is a chore when no rooms are labelled and you can only add markers, not notes.

@FyreGamesReal I guess it depends how immersive vs accessible you want to go. The ironsights do block a lot of the screen and can cause tunnel vision, but that might be the effect you want
