Danke, mein Freund, and we seem to have some similar traits & interests. I've subscribed to your "Demos" community, and hope I can maybe contribute in future. ๐ค
Here's a place to share some fun links, browser games, and chitchat about whatever...
LINKS:
- Play the randomly-generated Tintin quiz !
- Behold the amazing Floor796 animated character project. (see how many famous BD characters you can spot)
- Browse the utterly fascinating Marginalian blog, in which the author regularly takes deep dives in to the arts, literature, philosophy and so forth, tying everything together in delightful, thought-provoking, and uplifting ways.
- Play the quiz "Who are these ten classic characters just about to appear?" [ Answers ]
- Enter a trance-state via the ever-scrolling ZOOMQUILT and ZOOMQUILT2.
- It's free ANIMATED MOVIE NIGHT. (four films and five shorts) [NOTE: Some of the links there are to the matching lemm.ee posts, but I can't edit them from my new acct. A simple search will quickly turn them up, though.]
- Play thousands of your favorite old flash (and other browser games) via the amazing Flashpoint Project.
GAMES: (I'll be adding pictures and a table in future)
- ARMOR ALLEY, arguably the greatest side-scrolling helicopter game of all time.
- SOLITAIRE BATTLESHIPS, and ~40 other excellent puzzle games.
- KONKR, a simple but challenging series of tactical boardgame battles, something like RISK, but powered up with special forces.
- POLYTRACK, a fun, tough set of low-poly tracks to race through, directly inspired by TrackMania.
- PRINCE OF PERSIA, a browser version of this legendary classic. (Note that this version allows you to tweak time, health and level number right in the URL!)
- Return of the SLIMEPIRES, a super-fun, totally original, zombie-themed platformer. [Note: there's a higher-res version here]
- ROGUE FABLE III, an excellent roguelike that only takes an hour or so to beat, featuring loads of interesting character classes. [WIKI]
- SABOTAGE, an hilarious but tough, top-down action game, loosely based on the early-80's classic Castle Wolfenstein, but with much smoother gameplay.
- SPELUNKY, hands-down the greatest roguelike platformer ever. Simple to get in to, but be warned that the learning curve is immense. Fortunately, there's a super-helpful WIKI.
- TOWER-SWAP, a tremendously fun, original, addictive mashup of the match-3 and tower defense genres, both of which I'm ordinarily kind of fatigued by.
Well, there's a reasonable start. Much more to add in coming weeks and months, and of course feel free to nominate your favorites. Or just to chat about whatever...
Okay, what think about it now?
I've put the link in the banner / description, as well as added it to the stickied 'move post.'
Happy to have you, once again! ^^
There is indeed such a post (as you should be able to see?), but the link is in the body of the post (several times), not as a direct hotlink.
The issue I've always had with the standard Lemmy software is that it allows either a hotlink or an image in the 'URL' field, but not both. Take a look if you have a minute and let me know what you think, please?
Ruh-roh. Does lemmy.cafe have a content migration feature as well?
With much thanks to PF's site-runner, as well as good advice from @[email protected], we've successfully moved!

On the positive tip, we were able to preserve ~390 out of ~550 historical posts, so that's better than starting over. On a more sobering side, it looks like we're going to lose most of our (current) ~1,260 subscribers, and PieFed being a different instance, running different software, it's not clear to me if we're going to get the same exposure to "ALL" streams that we once enjoyed.
While it's true that I can invite individual members to join, it seems that (unlike PF), the Lemmy software doesn't allow me to see a list of subscribers, even as the founder and head mod. If anyone has any ideas on that, feel free to advise...
In any case, I hope you find something you might like at our (now smaller ๐ ) community / sub-lemmy.
Haha, nice. Boucq is such a wacky creator.
I did happen to read this book, and found it pretty good. IMO it dragged somewhat with too much speech at times, but I found the basic scenarios quite inventive(!)
Btw, there are also three prior posts here:

Thanks for posting this, and please be patient with the upvotes. They'll come as our subscribers' list slowly regrows...
Wonderful piece. Thanks PugJesus for the great find, and info!
Adding on, this seems to be some art By Giuseppe Rava titled: "Legio II Augusta's fortress life at Rutupiae"
Hey-yo, just trying to see if I can link your other account, followed by hopefully replying to it from my new PieFed ID:
Credit to @[email protected] for nudging me in this direction, some weeks back.
Of course, with the number of game recommendations I still have to add, I might have to compact that section in to little more than small image links to the games. Otherwise, the OP might get to be pretty massive.
Ah, decisions, decisions...
