Precious

[prog]

The new thing I say when a video game ceases to be fun, by making me do something I already did over and over, is: This is not treating my time and attention as precious.

Why, yes, I did just finally get to the Meat Circus stage in Psychonauts...!

While I'm here: any game recs I need to know about? Know ye that I really really want to play Dwarf Fortress, but ffs, I cannot get past the interface. I just can't do it. It's like trying to read a really smashing novel where all the text on every page is encoded as a stereogram. And covered in bees. I don't know.

What are you playing?

Did you notice how some sounds are missing from at least Black Knight? Unless my memory is wrong. On the left-hand ramp spinner, when it's lit, it is supposed to sound similar to the sound effect for when you go to the next wave in Robotron. Also, when you win the right to fight the B.K. again in multi-player mode, a kind of rhythmic clock sound is missing. Did it seem to you like the points in bonus are tallied more quickly in the sim than they were in the B.K. game itself? Or maybe it just seemed longer in my memory.

Honestly, I didn't spend enough time playing Black Knight back in the day to be able to tell. My big pinball period was a few years later, and I played Star Trek: TNG and Twilight Zone more than anything else.
