@georgia I had a dream that a homeless guy was lurking outside my house and harassing me but for some reason I let him inside and then lit him on fire

@zx @georgia depends on your definition of "fun" lmao. it's a rougelike, so it's very challenging, and it's also insanely complex and by default it doesn't have any graphics (is just ASCII tiles). it's pure systems-based gameplay but that's the kinda shit I'm into

@nyx @zx I save scum btw. I feel like its a more innocuous form of cheating because it just cheats RNG and theres still some strategy. but maybe I'm just coping

@zx @nyx @georgia 90% of "playing" cata is reading wikis and planning and scheming and looking up the controls for stuff. if you're into this kind of thing you can also enable ASCII mode to be a trve kvlt turbo-masochist

@azureazure @nyx @zx I memorize controls pretty quickly but I'm impulsive so I'm not very good at roguelikes. still I really enjoy them :)

@newmodel very hard to explain but I was a soul trying to escape an artificial matrix that was being used to power clean energy. by freeing myself I would be dooming earth but ending a great evil

Can you elaborate on the great evil part? Was that related to the energy capture device?

@newmodel basically in the future there was a massive monstrously company that used organic-mechanical neurocomputers to run earth's otherwise unsustainable energy and food needs. these computers existed in satellites off earth that orbit earth. I and many others like me hijacked the satellites and managed to give myself an organic body and free my soul, but doomed the Earth.

That's crazy. I haven't dreamt dreams like that in a long time.
