Like incredibly computationally expensive volumetric lighting and broken billboards is meant to be a joke, right? But I think people just think some subset of 'itch.io games' are like that now lol

It's funny that people now sometimes read the Pagan games as like retro-facsimile HPSX stuff (which literally didn't exist when I was making the first two). A lot of aggressive anachronism is there for the alienation effect but I think it comes across unintentional now. It's interesting!

A collage of several figures superimposed atop of a landscape photograph.
One figure is transparent, but outlined and dressed in pure white.  They have neither a nose nor a mouth, and their eyes are wide open.  A large gear is emerging from their head, and a breathlessly manic stream of consciousness is running through their head.
Another figure is dressed in black, with long greenish-gray hair.  They're holding out a hand in greeting.  Where they should have a face, a gaping hole filled with lumpy dark flesh is present.
Behind these two figures is a large floating mechanical eye, half-lidded and staring directly at the viewer.  The following text is overlaid across it:
"Is it really too much to ask?  Just throw it all away.  It'll be a new life!  So exciting!  Not like they give a shit, anyway..."
In the bottom-left corner, a smaller figure (whose features are smeared out with a black substance) is covered with the following text:
"It's funny, you know?  I was supposed to have died years ago!  Roughly nine years ago at the time of this writing.  I knew I was living on borrowed time, but I didn't think my credit was this good!  Ahahaha!  To be honest with you, I'm ready to die whenever, but for as miserable as this material world can be, I've been having a lot of fun with it!  Making mischief while holed up in my little corner.  Will I attract attention, or will I languish in obscurity?  Will I live to old age, or will my loan come due early?  Who knows?  Who cares?  It's not my world, not my life, not my body.  Even still, I'm curious, aren't you?  Let's see what lies at the end of this alien road~"
In the bottom-right corner, the following text is visible: "I meant everything I said, even if you ultimately didn't."

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

my favourite are C games from like 1995 where they had independently implemented some kind of horrifying pointer-based psuedo OOP and you can absolutely tell. The vibes kinda rock

There's an admirable quality to games c. 2000 I've been calling 'C++ism' for want of a better term (profound organizational closure, systemic design from the lowest level tech to the UX); but I'm thinking perhaps this is actually IBM Rational Unified Process -ism. The evil came forth with agile...

Easiest to think of linux as a single 'thing' and all the distributions as 'starter sets' of software with associated community processes. Pick the 'ecosystem' you'll have to fight against the least; like e.g. I installed debian stable minimal because I hate patching and prefer to use a bespoke DE.
