@beardalaxy Thanks. I realized how much of a useful tool NeuralNote is. I can recompose any song using different instruments.

@phnt @shitpisscum I do like the 2ch inspired background the instance has.

Finally added a victory fanfare after completing a floor. I just used the fanfare I used in my previous games (which was a CC0, 8-bit fanfare from OpenGameArt), put it in NeuralNote and changed the instruments.

@beardalaxy This reminds me of the 3D games made with GameMaker Pro back in 2009.

@mr_penguin Most other platforming games at something to the table or do something different. Sonic has you run into enemies. Kirby has you swallow them and copy their abilities.

SuperTux IS a clone. Even the enemies in the game function the same as the ones from Mario, just with different appearances. It's not a bad game per se. I played it before and enjoyed it. But it feels like most of these libre games don't bring anything new to the table and there is no reason to play them unless you are committed to only using 100% free/libre software.

My main point was to bring up that you don't need to only play FOSS games to avoid the bad business practices of the modern AAA industry.

@mr_penguin I thought they were banned in the EU, but apparently it just means that you can't anonymously hold crypto. My mistake.

The minute you challenge a Redditor worldview about anything, there comes the downvotes

In this episode, Xbox is talking about "integrating Steam" somehow, whether it's walled gardened or not, it's pretty much just a fucking PC at that point

This is where we find brainlet Redditors that would give Microsoft fat stack of cash for what they can already do on PC, on the TV, with a controller on Steam Big Picture, One Game Launcher, custom OSes made for just that, etc. because it's too hard somehow, but PC games on Xbox without using a pesky wireless mouse to access possibly and probably walled gardened? O H B O Y

@mr_penguin SuperTux is NOT the best game ever. It's a generic Mario clone.

You don't need to go full freetard to have an enjoyable gaming experience without the SaaS dystopia getting in your way. Just play older games (either through original hardware of emulators), mods/hacks of existing games, or DRM-free games on sites like GOG or itch.io.

Just say no to SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based delivery model where users access software applications through the internet, typically on a subscription basis. You think it couldn't happen to you until one day through no fault of your own your cut off as these innocent Russians (please note the distinction, Russians, ordinary people, are NOT the government, of which the later is evil everywhere, be it the Russian government or some other government like that of the United States, or your local state or city government) found out the hard way:

Maybe try Super Tux (the best game EVER!) instead:

supertux.org/

Or Super Tux Cart instead:

supertuxkart.net/

@mr_penguin What country is the project based in? I know in some countries, hardware wallets are illegal.

@beardalaxy @bonkmaykr @graf I was way too busy with work at the time. If I were to restart it, I would use a NoSQL database this time and something other than PHP (maybe NodeJS).

@beardalaxy Yeah, I'm not using it. I need to come up with something better but my head always associates certain situations with copyrighted songs that it's hard for me to come up with something original.

But now that I think of it, it doesn't really fit as a level complete fanfare.
