The crooked cut doesn't help

Thanks! I'll check them out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Great! I'll put them on my watch list!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. I heard this one is pretty good. That and re-animator. Don't know the rest though.

Which of those are actually worth watching? I figure most are probably near unwatchable. I hope I'm wrong though.

Everything was under delivered since the early 90s by Peter. I think het just gets off from the attention. Considering most of the projects were a financial success nonetheless, he probably saw this as a reason to keep doing it.

This really bit him in the end though with godus. A failed god game where he went to kickstarter for money. I guess releasing an under promised game when you ask for money before making it, promising all sorts of things and never delivering it is not really good PR.

Maybe challenge would be a better description for 1?

Interestingly, in the Netherlands there was the "Zuiderzee" . After damming off the sea, connecting the northern parts of the country for work traffic the sea became a lake called the "IJsselmeer" which in turn turned to freshwater, and even froze over during a cold winter, As seen here and traffic actually crossed over the ice in the lake itself.

That's really cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

I think it embodies my interest.

Het fijne is wel: Als ik een keer slecht slaap kan ik een kop koffie nemen, en ben meteen weer wat meer wakker. Mijn tolerantie is zo laag dat ik op 1 kopje al de dag kan door stuiteren.

The local feed is only for (all) communities on your instance. I think you meant to say "subscribed"

I'm happy to announce the new addition to our admin team: @[email protected]

He's mostly known as the owner of mods4ever and all associated projects. Including, but not limited to randomizers for games like Duke Nukem 3D and Unreal, working on Scummvm's Groovie engine, and their lemmy page housing communities for said randomizers and on there you can find your main stop for the "The 7th Guest" game series: [email protected].

He also used to speedrun The 7th Guest.

If you have any questions, you can message him or me directly on here or leave a comment.

Welcome to the team!

 

I've started replaying this recently, and it still hold up.

Only downside is that it's a bit slow. But with some snacks and drinks this is a great time killer!

Yippee!

 

After a user created half a dozen accounts in a span of 24 hours to "battle" a ban on a lemmy.world community, I'm regretting to inform that I have added an application questionnaire to the account creation process.

I want this instance to be a inviting and hassle-free home for any enthousiast of the retro kind. And unfortunately this means it's a little less accessible, and might take a bit before your account can be in use.

I will get to your application in due time, and will check regularly every day.

I hope this will catch trolls and obvious abusers more easily before they become a pain in the ass of the mods of communities.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions or complaints feel free to reply to this post or send me a message.

 

Tl;dw: he backported dotnet v2 to windows 95, adding the possibility to port software and games to Win95.

Visual studio still has the option to export to dotnet v2 in the current version.

Here's a list of different places you can chat about this series of games. We're a bit divided, but the fans are out there!

[email protected] - This Lemmy community, you're here right now! If you need a Lemmy account then go here and make the account. (Sorry, my server is too weak!) If you already have a Mastodon account (and you're feeling brave/technical) then you can put @[email protected] into the search box there and follow that account.

https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg - Stauf's Mansion Discord. Pretty active with a good number of fans. ALSO HAS Stream Detective so you can find people streaming these games on Twitch! Very fun to watch people fumble through the puzzles for the first time and chat with them, just be careful with backseating. Make sure you assign yourself the roles to get notifications for Stream Detective, ask in there if you need help.

https://www.reddit.com/r/7thguest/ - Reddit community. Not very active, but with a good post or crosspost there could be people from outside the subreddit finding it.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/the13thdoll - Facebook group. Lots of fans for all the games here, very active.

https://mastodon.social/tags/the7thguest - Mastodon hashtag, you can follow hashtags on Mastodon so they automatically show up on your home feed, very handy! Also check the hashtags for#the7thguestvr, #the11thhour, and #the13thdoll and whatever else you want.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_7th_guest_series - GOG Forum. Mostly tech support questions but there are a lot of fans there.

https://www.gog.com/forum/the_13th_doll_a_fan_game_of_the_7th_guest - again a GOG Forum but for The 13th Doll. Still mostly tech support questions.

https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=the%207th%20guest - Twitch categories so you can watch people playing the games live and chat with them (just be careful with backseating). Open each one and click Follow to add the game to your followed categories list. But honestly you're better off joining the Discord and using the Stream Detective inside there.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/The7thGuest?f=live - Twitter hashtag. Unfortunately you can't follow a hashtag on Twitter, so you gotta just check it manually. Also check hashtags for #the7thguestvr, #the11thhour (although there's some noise in there), #the13thdoll, and any other game you want. (Make sure to switch to the "Latest" tab instead of "Top")

Any other places with fans of the series? Let me know! I'm mostly hanging out here and in Discord, but I'll probably see you if you post to any of the others!
