I was playing mario kart double dash, was already on rainbow road, with 13 points in the lead. At the start of the track I said to myself "the only way I can lose now is when it crashes" and then, on the last lap, the power shorted.

I thought it would be fun for my wife to try Valheim with my mates as her first PC game. Shes since taken over my PC and ive been relegated to my handheld and a chair from the kitchen. She even plays with my mates on her day off while I work. This has been the norm for months now. I have truly been cucked. Please send your condolences

The folk tale that inspired Dreams on a Pillow tells of a mother who rushes into her home to retrieve her baby before fleeing, only to realise that she has escaped with a pillow instead. In the game, she spends her days trying to make her way to Lebanon after the massacre at Tantura, and the nights dreaming of the Palestine she knew as a child. Putting the pillow down lets her move through the game’s scenarios more freely, but invites nightmares and hallucinations. Abueideh estimates that it will take two years to complete; heartbreakingly, the crowdfunding page contains an assurance that “a clear plan for the completion of the game has been put in place to ensure continuity in the case of Rasheed’s disappearance, injury or demise at the hand of the continuously expanding Israeli aggression in the West Bank”. In the city of Nablus in the West Bank, Rasheed Abueideh owns a nut roastery, where he works to provide for his family. He is also an award-winning game developer. A decade ago, as the 2014 Gaza war raged, he created a harrowing video game called Lilya and the Shadows of War, about a man trying to find safety for his daughter and himself – but as missiles fall around them, it quickly becomes clear that there is no safety. When the game was released in 2016, it was initially rejected by Apple on the grounds of inappropriate content, a decision reversed after a week of outcry. Despite the acclaim and attention that Lilya received, however, Abueideh has not been able to raise funding for his next game through conventional means. The game he envisions, Dreams on a Pillow, is about the 1948 Nakba, told through a folk tale about a mother in the Arab-Israeli war, in which more than half the Palestinian population was displaced. He tells me that his game has been rejected almost 300 times, by publishers and providers of cultural grants, for being too controversial, too much of a risk. “Talking about the Palestinian story was always forbidden,” he says. “Crowdfunding was our only option, but even that would not work for me because all the major crowdfunding platforms do not recognise Palestine,” says Abueideh. The team turned to LaunchGood, a Muslim-focused platform, where it met its funding goal on 7 January.

This is a list of text-based IF’s (Interactive Fiction) that I and another user from itch.io, **[xSai](https://itch.io/profile/xsaikoticx)** or **Bladed-Barbwire** on Discord, made on itch.i*o*, and I thought I’d share this here with you guys in case anyone is interested. **All the credit goes to xSai for coming up with the idea. Also, note that, neither I nor xSai own the rights to any of these IF's; we are just recommending them to people as we believe they deserve more recognition and people might actually end up enjoying them**. The list was made on itch.i*o* and so, unfortunately, will have to be accessed from there for anyone wanting to access them from here. The list also had to be split into separate parts as we ran out of characters to use. All the IF’s are completely text-based, a few using some visuals and/or images, but none of them are full Visual Novels. Almost all of the IF's are made in Twine, with a few being made in ChoiceScript, Ren'py, or some other engine. Most of the IF's are free-to-play, some are pay-to-play, and some are free until they're completed and/or a price is decided. Some of the IF's have extra DLC's or bonus side content on their itch.i*o* page or on the author's patreon, which are either free-to-play or pay-to-play. Most of the IF's can be played in a browser (works best in the itch.i*o* app, Chrome, Firefox and some other browsers. Not guaranteed to work in every browser) with some also having a download option, but there are some IF's that only have a download option and no browser one. Most of the IF's can be played on PC and mobile, but some are not compatible for mobile. A lot of the IF's are also unfinished WIP's (Work In Progress); some of them are already completed, close to completion, just started, or may have been discontinued. Some of the links of the IF's also don't work, stop working for a while before working again, or ask for a password to access; perhaps due to being discontinued, shut down for maintenance, or for some other reason. We will continue to keep updating the list as we find more IF’s. We also have a discord server, a lemmy community, a subreddit, a tumblr blog, and a cohost page dedicated just for this. If you, or anyone else have any IF’s you want to recommend, feel free to share them on here, the three itch.i*o* topics, the discord server, the subreddit, the tumblr blog, or the cohost page **(They have to be text-based IF’s from itch.i*o* and need to have at least some kind of interactivity. IF’s from other sites, Visual Novels, or some other type of game will not be accepted)**. Or if you just want to talk, or ask me for some suggestions on which IF's to try, then feel free to do that as well. Anyway, thank you for your time, and I hope you have a good day, folks. Cheers! >**[Twine games with character customization - Part 1](https://itch.io/t/1763600/twine-games-with-character-customization-part-1)** >**[Twine games with character customization - Part 2](https://itch.io/t/1910939/twine-games-with-character-customization-part-2)** >**[Twine games with character customization - Part 3](https://itch.io/t/2424612/twine-games-with-character-customization-part-3)**

I tried to use Enjoyable, but it is doing nothing in the game. I tried to wrap it on Steam, but it is doing nothing. The only way it works is with CrossOver, but the game lags compared to how it runs on native. Is there a fix for this? > > I have a Macbook 2019 Intel Chip, with all the Max specs of the time.

Diffusion is the first-person shooter with an extensive singleplayer story (8-12 hours) and a multiplayer deathmatch mode, running on Xash3D-FWGS engine. You, James Smith (served in SWAT for a decade with no failed ops), on vacation and driving your car to some nice place, to take a break from your usual work routines. Driving on a deserted road somewhere in Utah, the car breaks down. With miles of nothing behind, J. decides to go forward and stumbles upon an abandoned rock/sand processing factory with just one yawning guard sitting there. Pointed by the guard, J. walks behind the factory to find the phone. When he comes back, he only sees two army trucks and the dead guard… J.'s curiosity leads him inside the factory only to find that this place is absolutely not what it seems to be… (Windows, Linux) Trailer https://youtu.be/7Goi0egBgLI

Chroma Squad is a fantastic turn-based RPG that is both a loving homage to the Power Rangers, but also an ingenious look at the production of a TV series. Rather than fighting evil as the Crayon Box of Justice, you instead play a manager of a new Super Sentai show hoping to become the greatest show on television. It's a formula that works fantastically.

The racists in IGN must be crying buckets :)

Anyone running a 13x or 14x should test their PC using Intel’s stress test utility, especially if you have had crashes. It’s permanent damage and they will replace your processor. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005567/processors.html Also update your BIOS if you have those chips. There is a software fix for if you haven’t been affected yet

North Africa at least. And I think that because of Higg's obsession with Egypt. Dude loved him some ancient Egypt. Pharohs and whatnot. It's all over his house in DS1. He modeled his Homo Demen's outfits on Egyptian iconography. And in 2 he's covered himself in Chiral Heirogliphics. It's the only thing he was almost as obsessed with as Sam. And speaking of Sam. I wonder if he took all those spy shots of Sam himself or if he had a secret team of DOOMs powered shadow ninjas shadowing Sam's every step in the first game...

GoldenEye is one of the most iconic and best shooters of the N64 and previous generations, but did you know that based on a false premise, Rare was worked for a YEAR on an HD REMASTER planned to come out for the 360?? Join me as we take a look at the CANCELLED Remaster of 007 GoldenEye and what could have been.

[\#Disney](https://mas.to/tags/Disney) makes a kart racing game called "[#SPEEDSTORM](https://mas.to/tags/SPEEDSTORM)" (Mickeyo Kart) It's not great, but my favorite part is how it's all these cartoons like Mickey and Donald Duck and then Jack Sparrow's there like "Wait, I'm in this too!?"
