  • Hero’s Hour is a fun Hero’s of might and magic crossed with an auto battler

    Dwarf Fortress is the worlds first and most in depth colony sim their motto is “losing is fun”

    Crawl is really fun 4 player pvp local co-op dungeon crawler

    YOMI hustle is an absolutely bizarre turn based 1 on 1 fighting game

    7 days a stranger will bring you down a rabbit hole of point and click horror mystery

    Due Process is a very fascinating take on team based shooters

    FTL is a rougelike space battler

    Into the Breach is a fun strategy battler with mechs and knockback mechanics

    Rift Wizard topdown rougelike wizard sim

    Noita sidescrolling rougelike wizard sim where every pixel is simulated gets real nuts











  • If you’re willing to go DIY, you can build some speakers yourself for pretty cheap. They’re very light, so you can easily mount them into a drywall ceiling and save floor space. They also don’t tend to oscillate the bass into the room above. Bass is a little light, but they’re good for the value.

    For the projector, if you’re willing to put in some time and effort you can usually find them at auction for dirt cheap every couple months. (especially in an economic downturn…) Mounting is almost always the tricky part though. And the throw distance (how big the screen gets per foot of distance) is the biggest thing to worry about. Depending on the projector’s intended use uh… you can too big real fast. Peruse the manual (find the part number for the projector).

    You can get a TV the same way, but projectors are almost always cheaper at auction because they’re niche and not in high demand. Just keep looking, they’ll show up sooner or later.

    Keep in mind, projectors are often high latency. You won’t notice it playing movies, but if you’re playing COD or especially DDR, oh my god that will suck. Most newer models have a gaming mode to reduce it, but most models don’t focus on gaming. ALSO, get a spare bulb for the sucker before you actually need it. If you’re buying it used you’re already halfway through the bulb as is. (unless it’s a laser)

    White sheet will work fine for a back drop. Official screens will increase contrast but if you have a dark room, not as necessary.

  • This is what drives me nuts about his apology.

    It’s not that you thought it looked like her. It did.

    It’s not that you thought it sounded like her voice. It did

    It’s the fact that you thought she would string together the sentence:

    Watching that sultry little temptress squeeze into a Canadian tuxedo three sizes too small with her bouncy little funbags on the screen staring at you, piercing through the core of your soul with those ocean-blue eyes that could resurrect the Führer from his grave in Argentina

    In front of a full congress to be saved in the library of congress. That is how little you think of her. That’s the insult, that she’s somehow dumber than MTG.

    That’s the thing to apologize for.
