  Cave Story, the original 2004 version.

  I played it a long time ago and I still think about that game from time to time.

  Okay, how about a game where you are a voodoo priest, and you move a doll through a board full of traps and whatnot, and then the person who you have possessed with your voodoo doll then follows the path that you navigated with the voodoo doll.

  Spice it up by having extra events happen while the person is moving through the real life version of the board that you then have to use your voodoo powers to compensate for while you now no longer have any more control over the person who you’ve taken over.

  I guess that’s more of like a puzzle thing, so sure, for an RPG, How about an Isekai game where you plop down into a magical world and you’ve got all the pop-up screens and everything like you would see an anime and manga, but there is no Demon King, there is no great evil to defeat. It’s just you exploring the world and having fun with your kind of cheat OP powers while meeting people and learning about the history of this world you’ve been plopped into.

  You can have actual events happen by like being involved in small-scale battles between kingdoms and uncovering lost relics and dungeons that have never been explored even by the locals and building a party of people to establish your own kingdom in a neglected land.

  The latter would give you an opportunity to go like City Builder Sim-style for a bit of the game.

  Or if you think that’s stupid, How about a role-playing game where you and a bunch of your other magician, wizard, witch, whatever friends, have built the first fantasy spaceship, and now you’re flying through the celestial realms, visiting all of the other planets in the solar system, and encountering new people, and helping them to solve their problems that have nothing to do with your planet but rather with the goal of establishing diplomatic relationships with other nearby planets.

  This shit is easy. Coming up with an idea for a game, a new one that sounds fun and interesting to play that covers a different storyline and gives opportunities for dozens of different authors and creators to put a piece of themselves into it and come up with interesting fun things to do, that shit is fucking easy, and I don’t know why they’re not fucking doing it.

  I don’t know how it has become so fucking easy for large corporate content creators to push the narrative that coming up with ideas for new stories or new games is actually difficult.

  There are so many games that have yet to even be thought of.

  There are so many storylines that have never touched pen to paper that we could experience, And I know that it is a little risky to offer something to people that they have not personally experienced before, but holy shit, why do we have to remake everything 650,000 fucking times?

  Like, I don’t know how much that surgery costs if you get it done by a doctor, but like, if you’re trans, and that’s something you want to do, that is a hell of a deal.

  Me too, but I don’t get an article written about me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, the distance from center of the rotation matters.

  For instance, doing a bicep curl with a 10 pound weight with your elbow by your side is easy.

  Holding that 10 pound weight with your arm straight and lifting it up to eye height is much more difficult, but for most people without impediments still doable.

  Now imagine the difference in distance between the ball and heel of your foot versus the distance between your knee and your hip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.

  My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.

  That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.

  And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend going for at least an Intel 7th gen or failing that some sort of computer that has an Nvidia GPU, 1050ti or better.

  Those will help as you go further down the line with allowing some CUDA and Intel acceleration features and only adds a couple of dollars to the total cost of the system.
