    Hungry Ghost Night's out guys, it was available starting September 2nd. Fun game, I'd reckon it has about 20 or 30 stages, Ive heard there's even an official guide for it though I haven't been able to source that yet.

    Can we buy a copy through you?

    Welcome to the Homebrew Section

    Posted

    As you may have noticed, we have added some new subcategories to the Homebrews section.

    We've added a Homebrewpedia category for people who want to create or consult programming and composition guides.

    Under the Share category, we added the Game Room sub where you can promote your latest game and Feature Presentation if you aren't developing a full game, but want to share a new gameplay feature/mechanic you want to show off.

    Under the Development/Questions category, we added Programming Codebreakers, Pixel Art Drawing Room, and the Chiptune Studio so you can ask/answer questions withing your specific homebrew development area of interest.

    Enjoy!

    Collector's Arrogance

    in General Collecting Discussion

    Posted

    I don't think you're arrogant for surveying the current landscape and being concerned whether what you see is a net positive or negative. On the one hand, places like you described are helping revitalize this corner of the gaming community and giving people a fun time, which means maybe we get more games (both in terms of new games being made and old games shaking loose into the market because people are suddenly wondering what they have in storage). On the other hand, maybe it makes collecting more competitive as resellers get greedy and people buying for investment purposes price people like you and me out of the market.

    You may be right that you have a more extensive collection than the restaurants or exhibits you see, but you may learn about new resources to aid in your collecting, or you may connect with new collectors who want to help you (either by buying your duplicates or letting you know what they see when they're out hunting).

    I often catch myself in a moment of arrogance or self-importance and feel bad that I do, but what matters is that you notice it and decide what to do about it, training yourself to ignore a toxic instinctive response and focus on what you want to think and feel instead.

    Here's a follow up question for you super fans--have you guys read the Ian Fleming novels?  Again, I admit I've not gone that far, but I'd be interested to read up on you guys thoughts and feelings on those old novels.

    I’ve read them all, and they are a fun read. Just don’t read them one after the other, or you will get too accustomed to the formula and it won’t be as enjoyable. Some of the post-Fleming books are pretty good too, especially the last few.
