the clue is in the name, Shovel-ware, as in it is something that is quantity over quality. things like the 700,000 games cd that jerma got. anything by blender games on steam. that shit, that's shovelware.

stop shitting on new/bedroom Devs that can't afford to hire artists or whatever

Also I wish my recruitment tags weren't all such utter horse shit.

I still haven't managed to pull Nearl even once.

@Tak @jk suddenly the demonscene is rocked by someone literally summoning Azazel through an absolutely astoundingly beautifully programmed 64k hack on an early 486 DX2 and an old Cirrus Logic graphics card which burns out both the cpu and the graphics card almost immediately but the CRT monitor immediately gets the pentagram phosphor burned into its screen from the intensity.

However later attempts are stymied after someone summons Azazel's lawer and they hand out a restraining order.

the demonscene?? its like the demoscene except its all about finding new killer pokes. less people participate as it can be a pretty expensive hobby

@jk @envgen I love that computers have various things like this, like "lp0 on fire", HCF, Pentium F00F, Cyrix Coma, "Not a Typewriter" and other weird errors and terminology, but I also hate that NONE of them go the distance and physically destroy the hardware.

but also I love that there isn't something that can physically and irrevocably destroy the hardware. ^^;

Like a lot of the Killer Pokes either knocked drive heads out of alignment (eventually), or MIGHT cause damage. no guarantees.
