If you have been gaming since Atari paddles and you know what Yar's revenge is ...
You grew up as a kid reading Jack Vance, Roger Zelazny, Ursula Le Guin and so many others between the ultimate Van Voght and finished Tolkien when you were nine years old and still a good kid because you were a nice obedient ornament with no own will who always came in first ??
Most of the new shit, A.I. generated skin-deep photorealism, built to last a few hours so you move on to the next ...
product ?
early access ... beta 10 years before release, leaving it half-finished, no real gameplay but fake button masher simple hits that make you feel like you just pulled off a 40hit combo in killer instinct or street fighter by hand ?
You used to play dungeons and dragons (the devils game!) on an actual table with dice and physical humans next to you ?
You played duke nukem and doom with a house full of pc's brought over, linked by COAX cables and a few crates of beer ?
Your friend used to organize small local lanparties for 40-60 people who all brought their rigs, a huge projector on the wall with a console running tekken ... a fridge on the side full of cold ones , sleeping bags on the floor and
someone always someone had a huge big bad of weed ... back then there was no problems, right ?
Maybe Vagrus might appeal :p
you have to know how to read though
Generation-X ... wouldnt amount b/c the hippies were the last ones with initiative, well i guess even if they are all evil demons by now, Page, Zuck, Musk and Bezos among others proved that wrong (they could do a little better with the world-building tho, instead of being fat hogs growing fatter)
I dont really know where generation-Y went ??? did they skip that like USA-DOS 9 (its not but they did admit they give the NSA free access with a backdoor once, tho i bet those articles are all gone - the german Stasi warned euro-governments never to use connected windows pcs for sensitive information and i hurr today it takes screenshots every 30 seconds ??? Better not keep your antwerp contacts in there , hoodlums ...)
Gen-Z is what ? "the milennials" ? they still would have to, tho most of the pages and zucks already did by 20-25 ...
And what do we have now ?
Generation ABC ?
Don't learn how to read ..
ASK CHAT-GPT !
"junior devs cant code anymore ...? well who's fault is that ?
you dont need them anymore b/c you sourced them for your automated regurgitator ...
theres no more creativity no disruption xept the mafia ...
well who did that ?
im sure it wasnt us ...
so in this way its possible gen ABC and maybe Z will never get there
the A.I. will do that for you ...
check it out on GOG (or if you have to one of the crotter stores)
they dont seem to have an itch.io entry ... i wonder why, maybe the Gabe-noose holds them ...
if its hard to read after the 5th page and your head starts spinning from all the text ?
https://vagrus.fandom.com/wiki/Beginners%27_Guide you can always cheat
but we personally advise against that, if you want to you can see any decent video game as a course in problem solving
creative, tactical planning and strategic thinking if not reflex-training on eye-hand co-ordination
doesnt have to be overwatch for that ... (actually never played that, its too popular so it cant be good enough for exalted creatures like ourselves)
( lawl ... )

woops there goes the night
if anyone ...
the programming as well as the night-hours they are good for mental stability , stuck for life in a hole we hate since we were 15 ...
maybe it saves lives ...
sssaaaaaa
Catham Joker
out :ppppppp
its available for consoles too tho i dont know if console-folk on average is the target audience here
o dear ...
you know you are living in the post-american-woke Cataclysm era when a game starts with
"Disclaimer:"
"this game involves a fair amount of reading"
this is where we're at then ...
we have very little hopes for the future of your species here, even IF you would find a way to bypass the dry mines in 30-50 years from now
... so uhm ....
well, nevermind, at least you cant take what we had until we go demented
yah, type one and end up typing more , last but not least
there is no word for bigot in this language
Wat is een bigot?
Het begrip bigot heeft 2 verschillende betekenissen: 1) overdreven vroom. overdreven vroom; kwezelachtig; ook: schijnheilig; schijnvroom. 2) fanatiek religieus persoon. overdreven religieus en fanatiek persoon die zich intolerant opstelt ten opzichte van geloofsovertuigingen, opvattingen of levensstijlen van anderen.
google says : kwezelaar en domvroom ... but thats like ... from before the collegas and tante terry were still on tv ...
Its an american construct, like "a dollar without gold to it" keeping the worlds money hostage and everyone going "O YEA THATS A GREAT IDEA LETS DO THAT"
:)

Ah, drat (!) ... one more
writing is as addictive as reading banned books or one containing potential ways to insight you havent seen yet sometimes
thats why we prefer to use it in moderation, after all
words of supreme beings , role-played or not, can be weaponized more than Eminem in his prime on speed (if you remember that song ... we didnt have the 60s but we sure had the golden age of beats between Coldcut and Kentaro many Shadows drift between the darkness and the light)
"The past isn't coming back"
no matter how you turn it ... the core rules of the master system won't allow it. Entropy explained as broken eggs ...
Can never go back to its original state, the universe forbids it, so that works down to every meta-level in every sub-system contained within the master system ...
Tho entropy is maybe seen as decay and in a certain sense it is as time is the observation of mostly decaying energy states but it isnt really there (not that i know, ive never hear someone claim "i have a piece of time in my locker, wanna check it out?")
it has no physical entity to it
if it did it could be manipulated like all physical entities but
everything that goes the master system can only be held in place as long as external force is applied (Deutsch ... are you still looking for systems without numbers? no wait you were looking for physics without numbers ... we were born thinking in systems but never knew that until we read a book on systems by .. im sorry i cant remember the name, names and us dont go well together, just like we are really bad at doing time.)
Unstuck going back and forth, sitting in multiple places and times at once, literally spanning dimensions, it wears one out .. we were partly born like that
but not like this
Personally, with all the insights we have procured i would claim native (innate / born-with) borderline autism with an acquired personality disorder phasing in and out
pulsating
So the past wont be coming back as entropy brings the system into a state of permanent balance but thermodynamics is right
een betje verlies ejj attijd
over time energy somehow seeps out of the system ... strangely enough, where does it go ?
i guess some called that "information" ... same thing, thats just words, like systems WITH numbers
which is why you're wasting time you already dont have in the first place as it will never happen
the universe simply wont allow it
iada des
OKAY ?
that will have to do we werent planning (we havent planned since you ripped us out of the last chance to stick us in een gat) to write
but the game is worth an entry in the captains log indeed ...
