I used to love making text adventure with AGT the Adventure Game Toolkit. I’ve wanted for some time already to learn to make stuff with still images and click zones which is essentially the evolution of the text adventure. The audience for this stuff is tiny, but I’d still love to get back into making text adventure. If there’s an easy to learn equivalent of AGT that can be made either web-hosted or somehow platform-independent I’d love to do that. AGT was a real breeze to learn and it’s a terrific creative outlet.

Anything more sophisticated is out of my league as I’m not a pro coder; my development experience is limited to an array of projects in VB6, the biggest of which was a companion software for Team Fortress Classic to customize scripts and per-class macros. It was called TFCompanion. Got 1,000 downloads roughly. But I digress.

Wanna dance?

Someone’s got delusional ideas about what he’s got for sale.

Also, Windows doesn’t “just work.” I’ve yet to encounter anyone who gets a Windows machine and has no problems at all.

My mother-in-law got a new laptop (didn’t consult me first) and it refused to even acknowledge her printer when plugged in. I plugged in my little transformer pad running an old Ubuntu and it printed in literally one second flat. She ended up having to get a new printer. Why? Because the existing one she had, the manufacturer didn’t pay their protectsia to have it in the included drivers base. And no, even a downloaded driver didn’t help.

So Windows has its own shit aplenty. That’s just one example of many. I think the idea that Windows is easier is a myth. Linux just happens to have a lot more to offer that requires a little learning, and most people are just too lazy or scared.

Anyone who takes the plunge and is willing to learn seems to be happy for having done it so… that should be enough testimonial.

So… After that had fixed it, I’m using device for a few more days and now suddenly there’s a different omen So, share sheet now has an email recipient up there on top of all other items. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere that I can prohibit Outlook items from being shoved onto that position.

What the actual F? Any idea?

Actually someone got it solved for me. Cleared Outlook cache and data. Had to setup over again but it is gone from the share sheet.

I don’t know what your financial status is, but a nice Synology NAS unit is a terrific investment. I’m really happy with the one I got a while back.

Morale. Just fyi sincerely not being snooty :-)

It’s definitely click fodder like 99.99999% of today’s content. That’s where we’re at because many years ago we let the pigs into the palace.

Elementary OS, or something like Garuda or Debian with either Gnome or KDE desktops.

Just seeing the main image in the post, immediately made me think of Lands of Lore!

Ah… yeah I forgot. My bad.

Looks phenomenal.

I was recently so excited to discover Fortress Forever also, which is the old TFC game. I dominated in that.

Swimming Nougat.

Did I do that right?

Exactly. And as I said in another comment, you can make a wrapper for it if their website is not the most mobile-friendly. Any browser can handle everything beneath the skin.

Well, they all have standard web interfaces, and so many apps are merely wrappers for it or a rebuilt front-end. On a Linux device one would presume you’ll have a standard web browser so all you need really is a wrapper for the website and the browser engine handles all security. Is there any reason not to just go that route?

The Apple App Store is a cesspool. Has been for years. It’s just pushing short-term games with gobs of micro transactions by the hundreds. That’s almost all you see. Tons and tons of it.

Well, maybe someone will start a federated group here on Lemmy. One where there are no restrictions other than typical code of conduct.

Hey, total stranger chiming in here just to say that I don’t think the issue is that OP feels like they’re owed feedback, nor that there aren’t plenty of others who want it as well; I think it’s just gotten very prohibitive on the internet where the first priority of any platform has become the legal protections, and so where once there was a flourishing free exchange of ideas on the internet where the knowledge and communication was the priority (anyone remember USENET), it has devolved into lawyers banning everything they can think of all to keep things protected, and so this budding writer can’t just easily find a place to say, “hey everyone, what do you think of this?”

If I’m wrong and have misunderstood, then I apologize.

Are we posting rooted and ROM’ed phones here? ‘Cuz I have a cabinet of shock and awe available lol.
