What I mean when I say I'm Eclectic Pagan.

thank you refreshing beverages for existing :)

Brushed the cat for the first time in… four days.

In his endless quest for magic beans, my housemate has entered a very lucrative karaoke contest. On the plus side, I get to dress him up. So far he's the only one who's done a one-handed cartwheel, so hopefully that counts for something…

Is anyone aware of an adult game (or adult software) that released on CD-ROM before Virtual Valerie in 1989? I figure there might be a Japanese example but I'm coming up blank

Re: 90% of my replies on social media: I truly appreciate you wanting to help me find DOS games. Yes, I've checked Archive. Yes, I know what ExoDOS is. Yes… I know what… DOSBox is. I've checked DOS collections you've never even heard of. You also linked me my own upload. …It's also the wrong game.

girl.

@emmfoolery.bsky.social i saw this and, for reasons i'm still not quite clear on, immediately thought "well emmy has to see this"

Refusing to date anyone unless we score 100% compatibility on a Nintendo Love Tester. (The hardest part about this is acquiring a working Nintendo Love Tester.)

'The World's Greatest Games' Somehow, anthropomorphic Putt-Putt inspired train OC, with human limbs, uncanny features, and... a vestigial tail(?) -- I doubt it.

What's the most engaging thing you remember reading about game history? I'm even more interested if it covers something you usually wouldn't care about, but still burrowed right into your Veins of Intrigue.

The reason I've stopped publishing historical research from Italy is that, as many of my colleagues have also noticed, most of that research gets "borrowed" by others (often uni professors) who happily attend events and publish books, while you're left being mostly uncredited and misquoted.

FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏. The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley. Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?

Thank you Wakaliwood for the greatest teaser I will ever see in my life.

I promise I'll get back to MS-DOS posting eventually, but right now it's Sanyo Sunday.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

It is my birthday and my housemate bought me a trumpet, finally confirming, without doubt, that he is a masochist.

I think I've earned one vagueposting scream into the a(by)ss at this point... 𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼𝘼

Just found this cassette for 50¢, that looks like a one-man, off-Broadway, musical character study of Niles Crane.

What's the most enjoyable/satisfying puzzle you've ever solved in an adventure game?

Check this out (particularly from around 6:00) for Scorched Earth circa 1969!

Since I don't stream anymore, I can't sneakily convince 100+ people to watch this 17 minute Australian advertisement every 6 months or so... But I can still post it here.

Haven't played this yet, but fully endorse it out of blind faith.

Which microbat of Melbourne are you today?

Couples costume.

MALLICIOUS is out!! (MAGS jam version).. We might have a bunch of issues to fix, I've been pretty feverish and it's probably gotten weirder. #gamedev #pixelart #adventuregamestudio jfrisby.itch.io/mallicious

R.I.P. to the concerningly detailed Commander Keen themed AC:NL town I made, after getting severe nerve damage in my head about a decade ago. Now that's a brand new sentence.

Just published a very short and free Playdate game. My 6 and 8 year old designed it and did the writing and I helped with coding and art. It's a big mix of various ideas they had for a game but I had fun making it with them michael-klamerus.itch.io/duckys-world

It is so nice to buy some art made by a real person. :) Can't afford to commission someone? Bookmark their page for a better day! Or grab a postcard, patch, or sticker, if you can scrounge it!

Hey, if this time of year is really, really, really, really, really, really awful for you too, I'm really, truly, genuinely sorry. I hope you find some things to find joy in and some love for yourself. 💖

Made some Fool of Fen fanart. Culture and Bake! Two of my favs from a game literally full of amazing critters.

Let's wrap up this streaming business by sampling some DOS Game Jam games! twitch.tv/emmfoolery

Thanks to @emmfoolery.bsky.social I have become obsessed with Franco Cozzo, a furniture salesman in Melbourne whose local TV commercials make me feel like someone is hitting the language center of my brain with a chisel

The VGHF is wonderful humans doing wonderful, important work. If you have the spare cash for a games hobbyist purchase, please consider throwing some their way. …Otherwise they're gonna hafta commission a Phil Funko Pop or something…

I’ve released my first MS-DOS game for the DOSember game jam Red Planet Twilight is a short piece of interactive fiction about fragility and beauty I’ve also included a html release of the game for people who don’t have DOS-box chariot-rider.itch.io/red-planet-t...

THIRTY NINE ENTRIES. 😐 Go play 'em! Leave a lovely comment! Follow the devs! Get inspired!

To celebrate #DOSember myself and @chrisjfemo.bsky.social made a deduction mini-game in EGA for your 286 PC (but you can also play in the browser!) mausimus.itch.io/quid-pro-quo Huge thanks to @emmfoolery.bsky.social for organizing the DOSember Game Jam and a fist bump to everyone who participated!

The DOS Game Jam has half a day left, and the response so far has been incredible. Regardless of whether you end up submitting a project, thanks to everyone who even thought about creating something. Exercising your creative muscles, no matter how dormant, can truly make the world a better place.

Since I'm being crabby about abandonware, I will recommend two folks that I think do a nice job updating games that are no longer for sale and working on modern OS, and take downloads down when they're rereleased Collection Chamber collectionchamber.blogspot.com Zomb's Lair www.zombs-lair.com

Me and who?

I was literally the only kid in my entire school to not have any Pokémon cards... But I did have a full deck of... these?

Thought this motherfucker had a loading wheel on his head

New DOS game release ... by me! Treasure Hunt II is a textmode game I remember making ~35 years ago. Long lost, I remade it in QuickBasic! Download / play here: dosgames.com/game/treasur... I'll post it on itch.io eventually 😅 Let me know if you notice any bugs ... 🐜 #dosgaming #dosgames

Only ≈ 10 days left to submit something for the DOS Game Jam! Did you know: 💾 There's still time to make something! 💾 You can submit something incomplete! 💾 Perfectionism can severely impact your mental, physical, and emotional health, as well as personal relationships? 💾 DOS Games are fun!
