A fun little Minesweeper roguelike. Took me a little while to figure out the rules (I am not a smart moth), but very addictive once I did.

Update: Boom.

(This was actually my second full clear, though the previous round I’d forgotten to level up before going to the dragon, so it found me easy to defeat on zero health . . .)

I used to play a lot of Persistent Browser Games. They are now considered a bit old hat and past their heyday, but there's still plenty of them around according to pbbg.com/.

Some of them have been going for a couple of decades, mostly with a dwindling but still active player base. I still dabble in the zombie apocalypse game #UrbanDead.

Others that I have left behind include...
#Battrick #NationStates #eRepublik #Travian #Die2Nite #Popmundo #DolphinSim #BlackoutRugby

I might do individual retrospectives of them, but normal reasons for quitting include...
- Excessive time spent number crunching
- Plateauing of in-game progression
- Pay to win
- Toxic player base
- Repetitive game play
- Site closing down

Kennt ihr noch #Wurzelimperium ?
Bin Anfang des Jahres der #nostalgie verfallen und hab mir nen Account erstellt. Momentan sind meine Regale leer. Aber im Laufe der nächsten Tage sollten meine Bestände wieder aufgefüllt sein. Ich biete die günstigsten Angebote an meinem Marktstand. Außerdem besteht die Gilde, der ich mich Mitte des Jahres angeschlossen habe (CTB) aus echt netten Leuten. Schau doch mal vorbei.

I know it’s mostly a gimmick, but this Soulsborne word processor that deletes your entire document every time you make a typo really goes a long way to demonstrate the limitations of prescriptive linguistics.

(And, again, at the risk of taking the joke too seriously . . . this is kinda not how Soulsborne games work? Their whole shtick is that, while dying is common, it’s relatively low risk; the maximum you’ll ever lose is your currently unspent XP, and often not even that. So it’s more the equivalent of a word processor that deletes your current word every typo, not the whole document.)

This was Beta tested in late 2023 - but looks like it's available to all now?

I hate it.
