Holiii comparto acá un video acelerado del proceso de diseño de LA LLEGADA DE FIRMINA, un #videojuego que hice para debatir las narrativas tecnooptimistas y extractivas detrás de la construcción del cable submarino que conecta directamente al Norte con Uruguay por primera vez, y que desembarcó en la playa de los veranos de mi infancia 🐠🐚🔌🌀🐋🌊📱🏖️
Oh, I feel you. Believe me!

It's official: the Vault is open, and treasures are for sale. I can hopefully be forgiven for this singular advertisement of my new #eBay store. All sorts of board & card #games, #videogames, #puzzles, and other #collectibles will be on offer. This isn't about profit; my financial situation is dire and I'm weeks from potential homelessness. Any bids/orders/sharing of links would be deeply appreciated. Check back regularly; many things will be going up there day by day. https://www.ebay.com/usr/puzzleandgameestateh/i.html?item=116521946013&rt=nc&_ssn=puzzleandgameestate
I'm interested in finding retro (or not) games that are interactive fiction. Not Zork. Not Portal (one of my faves tho). Not Myst exactly. The game should be basically Choose Your Own Adventure with images and sound of some kind. Where do I begin the search for this? Should I be looking on iOS?
I looked here but most of these are Zorky.
I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games
Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.
Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.
Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?
Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.
* Method 1: You can add the details yourself
* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items
* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance
Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!
Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.
Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).
Check my accounts:
* Flagship server: @youronlyone
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place
~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~
UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

#0ad is possibly one of the most advanced #foss games. It's a multi-platform #RTS historical #game, and there's currently an appimage for #Linux users found at #github (in case #flatpak isn't to your liking).
Plays really smoothly, although it eats my 2015's #Macbook Air's battery (running Linux #Mint) for lunch. We're talking that it has about 30 minutes of overall #gameplay before I need to recharge. CPU utilization is at about 50-60%. @play0ad

Something to SNS providers and software can learn from the gaming industry is name filters.
Majority, if not all, online #games implement a RegExp-based or manual input name blocklist. In the socmed landscape, software like Mastodon should implement it to prevent any handles **and** display names with "Mastodon" in it.
Instance admins and moderators should be able to add new entries as they see fit. They can choose between RegExp matching or manual input.
It is an effective way to minimize fake accounts pretending to be the platform, instance, service, and/or software. For example, the Mastodon **software** is currently being bombarded by fake accounts about "Mastodon account verification", with "Mastodon" in either their handle or display name, or both.
Other social media software and platforms should implement it as well. Of course, it is not the ultimate solution, but it at least adds another layer to enable admins and moderators to fight against scammers and phishers pretending to be official accounts or channels.

This is wild. A handful of trolls are cosplaying ICE in the game Roblox. So all of these kids rose up against them.
“Roblox players protested within the game, battling cops, breaking down barricades, waving Mexican flags, and facing off across a line of players dressed in police SWAT gear.”
