this applies to all media, but especially to videogames. unless you’ve played every landmark title in the last 30 years (you haven’t), gaming isn’t dead. i didn’t even own a ps2 or a dreamcast as a kid so i missed out on literally hundreds of hours worth of bangers that i am just now going back to and i’m having a fucking blast. that‘s without even diving into the immense creativity coming out of the indie scene literally every day. i am eating fucking good right now, and all it would take for you to do a same is to fix yourself a plate and pull up a chair

honestly in general this is a rec for playing older video games. It’s giving me a new respect for the creativity that has to be used back in the day to portray or enact certain scenarios or feelings out of players.
I have a huge crush on Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series even though… I’ve barely played it. Mostly a lot of people I follow on tumblr are obsessed with it and then I started reading a lot of fanfiction based off of it and over the weekend I finally but the bullet and bought the collection series and started from the beginning. This game is kicking my ass but I feel like I’m using a different part of my brain when I play it which has me coming back for more. The game functions so differently from modern games. It’s so refreshing. Heavily encourage getting into an old game series so that you can sink into the catalog

I love All video games but there’s something about older games that just intrigue me (probably because of how much cheaper they are) I’m buying more games than I have time to play

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

chronological feeds on social media are a dying breed and it's so important to maintain the ones you still have
