In German, the words Christmesse oder Christmette , obviously closely related to "Christmas", still exist but they only refer to the church service held at Christmas or, more specifically, the Hours themselves sung during the night of Dec. 24th. The holiday is referred to as Weihnachten from Middle …

Currently playing The Curse of Rabenstein , a 2020 multi-plattform IF game by Stefan Vogt. I'm playing the MS DOS (VGA) version but I couldn't find a screenshot, so here's the C64 one: https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvNTA4MzEyLzMxMTI2MjMucG5n/original/kJXrmn.png The game is divided into days and I'm …

Man, Jagged Alliance just keeps frustrating me to death with UI and saving/restore issues. The latest was I lost 90 minutes of progress because, with me on the edge of the map, trying to flee back to safety, I hit the wrong button and instead of travelling ended my turn. Turns out that was the very …

"Zwetschgenkuchen" have the looks of a special cake (known as Danish in the US) that we have here in Denmark. Actually originates from the island of Fuen. It is called brunsviger, yet the topping is made from boiling brown wet cane sugar, butter and a nip of fresh cream, into a kind of running …

I wouldn't put it past SSI to forget to bounds check menus, and leave you wondering off into unchecked memory. Yep, that seems to have been it: version 1.3 works just fine! Weird that this has not been reported before. Thank you for suggesting I check out other versions. Somehow I was stuck on this …

I'll experiment some perhaps tomorrow, but my gut reaction is that the game might be running too fast? What are you running this on? Even when I got this game in the late 90's on the Forgotten Realms Archives, it shipped with MOSLO to make it playable. Ah, good call, thanks for your suggestion. …

Hello everyone, I've been meaning to get into the Gold Box series for a while, however, I'm having a problem with the controls. Hopefully this will sound familiar to someone: Basically, scrolling through lists, say during character creation, when I scroll past the bottom most item three cursor …

Even though I like the first game I've noped out from the sequel in record time every time I've tried it. Not a fan of the combat, thanks to the clunky controls and deadly enemies I find it frustratingly difficult. I don't know, maybe I should try to give it a fair chance one of these days. Yes, …

I'm playing Alone in the Dark 2 right now. It definitely has some problems but I actually don't mind the combat that much. I do have to consult a walkthrough here and there. Considering the fact that the very first thing the game throws at you is a hedge maze I'm somewhat impressed that I haven't …

Costco danishes are...okay, I guess? My MIL eats them for breakfast all the time which is somewhat funny because it's so incongruent with when you eat them here in Germany which is more like an afternoon tea/coffee kind of situation or maaaybe with a later morning coffee. But, anyway, Costco …

I worked with a guy who was homeless for years. He is a good guy and one of the most heard-working people I've ever met. Trust me, homelessness can happen to anyone, given enough bad luck.

Do you realize that a decent number of those homeless have chosen that life? I'm quite certain that most people do in fact prefer not sleeping on the streets or in a car and not knowing where the next meal is coming from, particularly in a country like America with such a weak social safety net. …

And who cares about "political correctness"? That is just code for censorship, aka violating our first amendment rights. Uhm... Poland, the home of the game's developer Ragged Games actually is a good example for a country with very stringent hate speech laws. I think, if you'd try to excercise …

This is of course in very poor taste, unsurprisingly, however, it's not the first homeless simulator that I'm aware of. There's a longstanding German browser game where you "play" as a homeless person, collect bottles, fight other homeless etc. etc. https://www.pennergame.de/ As for people …
