This is like one of those audio journals you find on a corpse in a sci-fi horror game

@lucasartsfans iMUSE was the greatest thing for game music, unfortunate that CD-ROM audio replaced it so quickly.

The answer is iMUSE

@BallerToy1327 Stem bolts of the self sealing variety?

True #StarTrek fans knows what's in these crates.

@TanukiDanShow @WeBuyPinball Nice! I got to play it a few weeks ago, super cool.

This is the craziest gift I have ever received. Are there any Pokémon Pinball fans around? I love my community so much.

@_einzbern Snatcher is almost kinda this.

Sure am tired of my feed being 90% arguing about ai

@ptadamczyk @MalPlayingGames The music in 2077 is so good!

I’m in good company!

@WeBuyPinball This is such a bummer to watch

A bit of a crazy day looking at pinball machines in a hoarder's home in Peoria, Illinois. #Pinball #FSBOGames

@WeBuyPinball Noooo

OMG don't let this happen to a NASCAR pinball!

@rexxraul @STGshmups Hack is where I started too. Got me hooked!

@STGshmups Oh, sometimes my pedantic nature gets the best of me. If you don't want to consider the original Roguelike to be Rogue, you can at least acknowledge that Hack came before Nethack. I'm being really nitpicky here, but I played a *lot* of Hack as a kid and don't want it forgotten

After 40 years, NETHACK, the original Roguelike, is getting a new major update. Still supporting MS-DOS. This is the first game that ever followed Rogue, arguably as influential and almost as well known. Impressive to see it getting an update in 2026. nethack.org/index.html

@ViridianGames @STGshmups Yeah! hardfought.org

@STGshmups Can we still watch people play it over telnet?

Wow! #Nethack 5.0.0 has been released!!!!! There goes my weekend! nethack.org/common/index.h…

@ViridianGames Get in that flow state

I haven't crunched like this in a LONG time.

@ViridianGames I’ll get my floppies out!

Okay. I'm pushing the release date of Ultima VII Revisited back two days. It will now release May 2, 2026. I could release now but there are just a couple thing that I feel reflect badly on the game.

@VGMaps @ultimadragons @exQUIZitely This intro was the most amazing things I’d ever seen at the time. Also one of the first times I’d seen VGA.

@exQUIZitely Of those choices, I've only played Ultima VI: The False Prophet. I have lots of memories with it because it came on the first real PC our family got. I never replay games these days, but I've recently been thinking I'd like to play Ultima VI again, but for real, WITHOUT cheating.

You're rolling a 20 on your D20 - and the RPG gods are granting you the wish to revive one of these four legendary series by being blessed with a worthy, modern sequel; one that truly captures the essence of its soul and lets it shine in all its glory. Which do you pick? ⚔️ Wizardy ⚔️ Bard's Tale ⚔️ Ultima ⚔️ Might and Magic

@DungeonNoir @ultimadragons Always one of my favourite covers

@ViridianGames If you can have it show the info over top right away, in a way that doesn’t look weird during a double click, that might be best

There was supposed to be a POLL with this post but it didn't go through and now I can't add one AAAARGH!

Okay, Ultima VII fans, I need your feedback. I'm having trouble with the fact that objects handle both single-clicks and double-clicks. If you ever wondered why it seems to take a moment when you click an object in Ultima before the bark labelling it comes up, it's because the UI system has to wait and make sure you're NOT double-clicking before it processes the single click. But the wait makes the entire system feel laggy, and I hate it, so I'm asking for solutions. So far I've got: * Don't use a bark over the object, use a tooltip in the bottom-right or something to give information about the object. (This could also provide information about how heavy and massive the object is, useful for figuring out WHY YOU CAN'T PICK STUFF UP). * Negate the wait and just clear the bark on double-click so at least you don't have the bark interfering with the use icon. * Leave it as-is. This is how the original Ultima did it, so this is how I should do it, even if I hate it. Your thoughts?
