We've established a new Rumpus House in-joke and it is already tedious. This week is gonna turn out great.
-
@asponge it's not even a joke! Also Pat tells me it's not a Rumpus House thing til it's happened in the house. Also that sounds amazing.

I am still excited about the big leaf. I am currently sitting against the big leaf.

@ellaguro What were those glitchy, CGA looking games -- the one with the Santas??? -- you were showing people at Mild Rumpus?
-
Latest kerfluffle is a reminder that I feel a bit distant from the exciting stuff happening in games. Feel I should play more/make more.
-
But then, I'm over-busy already, and largely with exciting stuff that's a little adjacent to indie games. Probably happier here.
-
Plus, there's better models for making fun/small stuff and getting paid for it. That's important.
-
@ZepCap <3 for that! I've been working on mutazionegame.com for a few years, then recently playfabulousbeasts.com/. Also some curation..
-
@ZepCap ...work (with @WildRumpus, mainly). Right now making something for gamecity.org/. & some visuals for panoramic.al/
-
@ZepCap but the next things I'm looking at are more "arts" than "games". Or at least, games within arts contexts, rather than selling games.
-
@ZepCap Oh, and I made v21.io/punchthecustard. I am bad at communicating this stuff!
-
@churlishmeg @patrickashe All of that stuff still p much applies, the UI's just a different colour.

it's maybe a shame that "#altgames" centers games, when there's finally good cross-pollination with nearby forms happening
-
@TRONMAXIMUM yeah, i def find this true! it's musing, not condemnation.
-
like, bots, art tools, weird AV instruments, storygames, game poems, zines, installation pieces... so much good stuff has been happening
-
@thomas_mac yes, i am! excited to hear about it!
-
@TomNullpointer uhhhh... boingboing.net/2015/03/16/punk-games.html is the immediate context
-
@alicemazzy yeah - i think if it is a criticism, it's of the framing, not the creators.
-
@hannahnicklin this is a good point. maybe it's just that i feel i've found a comfortable space to work already
-
@hannahnicklin but for me, finding that involved backing off from "games", remembering the interest that games is a subset of.
-
@Barchmen thank you! ☺️
-
@hollygramazio look basically what i mean is that my friends who were doing that stuff and my friends who are doing this stuff now hang out
-
@hollygramazio "running around games"
-
@hollygramazio but actually - it seems a shame because for a bunch of people who are finding utility in altgames, i think working ...
-
@hollygramazio ... in a larger space (ie, in whatever this "game-like thing" space is) might help. 'cuz it did for me.
-
@hollygramazio haha! yeah, that's rad. but what's even radder is everyone's conscious knowledge of it's limitations at the same time

"Party MP3s" (no idea of the vintage) "Peter Kay LIVE at the Top of the Tower" (gift, don't judge me) Fight Club (Region 1)

"Grim Fandango Disc A" & "B" Budget reissue of Worms Original Half-Life! Rainbow Six : Rogue Spear (my taste holds up pretty well here)

@psychicteeth and is exciting enough/a big enough leap that that it seems worth paying for for every go.

@tqbf if it makes you feel any better, Lua doesn't even have a real array type, it's just a table that happens to only have numeric indices

@hollygramazio @hannahnicklin @thomas_mac one thing i think is important (but not necessary) is technical literacy (vs coding particularly)
-
@hollygramazio @hannahnicklin @thomas_mac it allows you to work directly with the substance of a work, vs having to edit via an intermediary

@thomas_mac @hollygramazio @hannahnicklin this is coming from my point of view as a coder who often supports non-coders when making work
-
@thomas_mac @hollygramazio @hannahnicklin eg: tinysubversions.com/gengen/index.html# requires some technical literacy to use, but no actual coding
-
@HilariousCow @hollygramazio as can you if you come at it from a programming lens,rather than coming from a different (literary?) background

@glowcoil agreed generally, but i don't know about those egs. DG especially wasn't about the gameplay but the framing, the pure stark world.

@glowcoil ofc just my perspective. i think i mentioned cuz i do think of it as a "perfect object", but for those reasons, not just gameplay.

@PIXELATEDCROWN looking forward to meeting you!

-
@ElectronDance that piece makes me think of modelviewculture.com/pieces/country-clubs-on-the-web-exclusivity-and-the-myth-of-early-adoption

@ElectronDance ...how much of this is nostalgia for "the web that was" when it was just (white male) nerds and before /everyone/ got to play

Thinking about what @ModelViewMedia would have said about the concept of "Eternal September".

.@resiak @whitingjp This is great for multiple reasons! 1) SIGBOVIK (joke conference about computer jokes) looks great and I hadn't seen it
-
.@resiak @whitingjp 2) Someone remembers Hefty Seamstress! v21.io/games/heftyseamstress/ . 3) dwrensha.ws/acronymy also looks super neat
-
. @resiak @whitingjp 4) It shows the different context makes to a project 5) Acronymy is written in Rust, which I'm interested in.

@resiak @whitingjp It's okay, I've filled in "youths" now.

@resiak @whitingjp actually, there's a difference in implementation - no capitals, no punctuation. :(
