Walking through a cemetry at night, with 8 friends.
A tree ahead starts violently shaking its top branch then stops.
We all continue walking past the tree, which is around 6m high. All examine the top of it to see no person or animal up there.
Agree it was weird.
It was shaking too much to be a cat or bird. No wind at the time.
Real shit.
I tried for a day or 2 to get strafe-running, could not do it.
Would love to play Xonotic though, it has lots of old-school FPS flavour.
Sure is! It’s had so much work done since the early days.
The single player campaign is huge and hilarious. Very satisfying to complete.
FLOSS games that are solid:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Luanti (aka Minetest)
sgt-puzzles
Trisquel GNU/Linux
Because it is a fully free distro, which is important to me.
I use Trisquel because it is the most user friendly I’ve found in the free distros.
Some hardware drivers are unavailable, but that’s fine, just transferred away from non-free hardware.
For compatibility, usually export to PDF.

Also GrapheneOS on phones and tablet. Has less nags and bloat. Privacy centric mobile OS.
PosteRazor is excellent, make huge wall posters.
Mid-80s, these were the only sour treats available.
Yes, it is worth getting into video games. Mental quickness, friends, and less Alzheimers are some benefits.
People in this post are making excellent recommendations for quality commercial games.
I can recommend starting out in videogames, by getting into Free Software (Libre) games.
Libre Games cost nothing, have no spyware, and usually have positive, helpful, DIY focused communities.
Here is a post I made that lists a few of my favourite free games on desktop and mobile.

If any on this list are too difficult or hard to set up, just skip.

Historical note
The Fool’s Errand game, from 1987, sold very well with women gamers. Over 50% IIRC.
It is a tricky puzzle game with Tarot Card theming and an excellent sense of humour.
Fool’s Errand is not Free Software though, and way out of print. It could probably be emulated on a device that you have, PC or phone.
The one we didn’t know we needed!
Love it. (c:
Consider donating to an archive.org mirroring effort in a seperate jurisdiction/country.
Is this happening?
Trisquel is a fully ‘Free as in freedom’ distro.
Zero telemetry now or in the future.
Ubuntu based, so large FLOSS package repository.
Mate UI, simple user friendly layout.
* You will need hardware that works with fully free hardware drivers (for printer, WiFi, GPU etc). Drivers with binary-blobs are not included, due to potential security risks or spyware.
Test your hardware with a bootable USB.
Weaveworld was huge when it came out. Great and Secret Show is good too.
For a quality horror experience, read the short story Dread, from The Books of Blood II collection.
No spoilers, read it cold.
you can put down buildings while on pause.
Now this! is a pro-tip. Thanks!

Zing! Love it. <3
Highlander :P
Dragster shone in '83 as an example of gameplay-over-graphics. Just outstanding.
I don’t have a 2600 today, but I do have a solitary cart of Dragster. Be ready.
