Since magma would often kill my FPS, I’d sometimes settle for the next best trap: zig-zagging corridors full of dwarven atom smashers to deal with sieges

Back when I first played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, I spent way too much time atop some stairs and jump-kicking an orc down, who’d ragdoll down, get up then come back up, only to get another jump kick to the face. I spent several minutes laughing
When I was ~7 years old, I had a Nascar 94 demo for PC, my main mode of play was running the wrong way and crashing as hard as I could on another car, watching all the pieces flying was fun
I also wonder whether there’s a “wrong” way to play dorf fortress, since I’ve tried a lot of stupid shit (it’s only stupid if it doesn’t work, so…)
Lastly, there’s Skyrim with, uh, specific mods

You might want to check out Chorus, it’s on sale super cheap on GOG right now. It’s an action game with some levels on foot and others in space.
An honorable mention is Star Wars Battlefront 2 (classic) - maybe not exactly what you want, but it has space combat where most of the action is with ship dogfights, where you can also attack the opposing capital ship and disable its core systems to win the match. The whole single player game ensures you’ll get one hell of a power fantasy as the ace/hero, even on harder difficulties.

Unless they did a proper rework of space combat, it’ll get old fast, just like ground combat. I also remember you could pile up dozens of “Kill space pirate Whoever” from several systems, travel super far away so that you could reset the quests, reset said quests, then manage to complete ALL of them by killing only one target

It’s a game that, as you build up money, it becomes less about flying around and more about managing fleets and your little economic empire

I guess the “easiest” way to approach it is to take a working JS game engine, like pixijs or melonjs or p5js, creating the animation editor with keyframes and whatnot, then allowing it to export as “web animation”, which would be the javascript file + compacted resources

My guess is because there’s no “easy to use” program that allows them to make the whole thing then export for easy web visualization, most of the people who’d make animations won’t want to write down keyframe positions

I know, which is why I mentioned them. We got rid of flash, but people were so fucking nostalgic for the worst parts that they put it all back into their JS frameworks

My nostalgic sigh is about animations that became rasterized videos, thus losing any chance at being interactive or hiding easter eggs.
I am glad we no longer have sites made in pure flash, but now we have different stupid shit that also blocks back/forward navigation, fucks up scroll bars, hogs the CPU and crashes the browser for no good reason.

I vaguely remember one of the animations had Homestar pouring soda in the ending screen. After a while (30s?) he’d comment on how it had a lot more soda than it looked. The closest equivalent is a post-credit gags, but it’s not the same thing

- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 1 week ago:
So, you’re telling me 'Murica, the place known for:
- putting money above EVERYTHING
- exploiting half of the world’s countries
- supporting coups and bloody dictatorships
- invading countries using shitty excuses when the real reason is money
- never hunting down its own extremist “good” terrorists like the kkk
- school shootings
- exporting their propaganda to all aligned countries
- being super xenophobic
- being a fucking chicken because “muh freeze peach!” when it comes to glorification of nazi ideals
Wasn’t expecting fascism to grow from within???
