@glassbottommeg And at the game's climax you enlist the help of a wayward cougar to get a vintage 120mm gun working. The Meowitzer. 😸

@dec_hl This is really cool! I'd have to figure out how to set up a packet driver within Win98SE though, since I've been using a PCMCIA wireless card to connect to the internet, and it doesn't have DOS drivers. πŸ˜“

@glassbottommeg A strategic co-op (or realtime-with-pause game?) where you (the possum) and your ragtag band of escaped zoo animals must work together to manipulate and fire a series of increasingly complicated gun emplacements from over a hundred years ago, to defend your zoo from aliens or robots or something.

Possum gives the orders, Macaque turns the crank, mountain goat controls the aim, and a wallaby named Bruce feeds in the ammo.

Maybe figure out how to work in some bats. (Batling gun?)

interviewer: give me an example of a time when you took control of a situation

me: no, YOU give ME an example

interviewer: lol okay, that was pretty impressive

me: I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go

interviewer: *being led away by security* what is happening right now

Have you ever wanted to make a "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but been disappointed with how lame the existing meme editors are?

I made a better one: https://youwouldntsteala.website/editor.html

@TonicBH Deus Ex: Invisible War, honestly. I have no idea how that game fueled so many all-nighters when I *knew* it was aggressively _mid_ as a game, let alone as a Deus Ex sequel.

Maybe I just loved knocking out dudes with the boltcaster and chucking their ragdolls into the dumpster until the lid won't close.

I think everyone has that one game they played a lot as a teenager but wasn't *that* great.

for me that was Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.

what's yours

Apparently the Freeware tactical fps from Japan "X Operations" had already celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. I never really see any coverage of this game in Western sources.
It was great. A free Counter Strike-meets-Rainbow Six kind of thing. Basic, but very functional. Both single and multiplayer. Lots and lots of content. Modding tools.

@foone I have not checked yet but does this program include (or will it include) the "your fave is microwavable" flag? tumblr.com/yourfavismicrowavea
