Im Personally A Big Fan Of Games That Are Accessible To Anyone With A Computer; Most Especially Ones

I’m personally a big fan of games that are accessible to anyone with a computer; most especially ones that are spooky or halloween-esque. Some of these games are horror, some are just plain silly, and others are interesting and quite the experience.

A Dark Room: An open-source software role-playing text-based game originally published in mid 2013 for web browser by Doublespeak Games.

Alter Ego: There are seven stages of life in Alter Ego. You play from birth until death, whenever that may be.

Coma: Pete wakes up and finds that everything in his life has changed. Players join Pete on a quest to save his sister, and wind up meeting some fascinating characters along the way.

The Company of Myself: This is a story about a hermit.

Cooking With Satan: You are looking to make some delicious cupcakes in the only way you know how; by sacrificing items to Satan!

Covetous: A game about the will to exist. Partially inspired by fetus in fetu. (TW: Body horror. Seizure Warning!)

Deep Sleep: You are stuck inside a nightmare dream. Something lurks in the darkness… Something in the depths of your own mind wants to pull you even deeper. Someone will escape this dream for sure. The question is - who is that going to be? (Part 1 of a 3 part series)

Deeper Sleep: A sequel to an award-winning horror point-and-click game Deep Sleep. Nightmare returns and this time it goes even deeper. (Part 2 of a 3 part series)

The Deepest Sleep: Here you are, at the final depth. Danger lurks behind every corner, even the Shadow People are afraid of this place. Will you be able to get back to the surface and wake up? Or will you remain here forever? (Part 3 of a 3 part series)

Entity: A game about a girl who wakes up with sleep paralysis, a stage between awake and dreaming. She’s struggling with moving her body while she’s surrounded by shadow creatures, she needs your help to wake up!

Everyday the Same Dream: A little art game about alienation and refusal of labour. Made in 6 days for the Experimental Gameplay Project.(TW: Suicide)

Haunt the House: Possess items around the house and scare everyone out! The more you scare, the more powerful you become. Don’t frighten them too much though, they might freak out and do something stupid.

Loved: Can games carry the auteurist intent and interconnection of traditional cinema and writing? Can we tell stories through games that aren’t disposable? That live on after you’ve stopped playing? This is a short story in the form of a platformer that answers these questions. (TW: very abusive language)

Milk For the Ugly: Imagine that you are a young social worker, dedicated to finding out the hidden and forgotten old souls who haunt the cold, mean streets of the city. You seek to report on their living conditions, possibly recommending they be removed from their roach-infested “homes.” So it is that you have come to find yourself sitting at the kitchen table of a cadaverous old shut-in you’ve been assigned to visit.

Monstre de Coiffure: A very silly monster makeover game in which you give haircuts and apply make-up to a procession of grotesque monsters.

My Father’s Long, Long Legs: The story of a girl whose father one day suddenly comes home from work and begins digging a hole in the dirt-floored basement of their house.

The Ooze: In an ageless temple at the corner of the earth, a primordial Ooze sits waiting… Shift its shape to (gleefully) eliminate all trespassers.

Take This Lollipop: An interactive horror short film and Facebook app.

UrbEx: Explore a scary old abandoned factory. Invited by a trusted friend you head deeper within, except all is not what it seems in this derelict place. Something dark lurks within, something creepy and in-human. Will you get out alive?

With Those We Love Alive: Before living this life, have a pen or sharpie nearby, something that can write on skin. There is music, so headphones are good. But it’s okay if you can’t. Content warning for violence, self harm, blood, abuse, unreality.

When we say that Ada Lovelace was arguably the world’s first computer programmer, that “arguably” isn’t thrown in there because of questions of definitions or precedence – she definitely wrote programs for a computer, and she was definitely the first.

Rather, the reason her status as the world’s first computer programmer is arguable is because during her lifetime, computers did not exist.

Yes, really: her code was intended for Charles Babbage’s difference engine, but Babbage was never able to build a working model – the material science of their time simply wasn’t up to the challenge. Lovelace’s work was thus based on a description of how the difference engine would operate.

Like, imagine being so far ahead of your time that you’re able to identify and solve fundamental problems of computer programming based on a description of the purely hypothetical device that would run the code you’re writing.

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

Only good thing about Christmas time is I get to hear carol of the bells all the time but the bad part is I have to act normal like that song doesn’t go hard as fuck

Russian Case Chart with Examples

The Only Russian Case Chart You’ll Ever Need

Hey, guys! I’ve posted several Russian case charts in the past that I’ve found online, but none of them have been quite perfect. The last few days, I’ve been working on one of my own, with examples of all the different rules (and their exceptions).

It is too large to post a single picture that fits it all, so I broke it down by case. (They look blurry while scrolling, but if you click on them they’re high-def.)

Nominative Case | Именительный Падеж

Genitive Case | Родительный Падеж

Dative Case | Дательный Падеж

Accusative Case | Винительный Падеж

Instrumental Case | Творительный Падеж

Prepositional Case | Предложный Падеж

How do you know so much about history and art and literature?? Are there any books/reference materials/websites you could recommend to people who would like to learn more? (because they only have a hazy overview *embarassed cough*)

just through reading articles online since i’ve never had any formal history education. with the internet at your fingertips it really is as easy as googling whatever you want to know. i know academic texts can be boring & hard to comprehend sometimes so… interesting websites

how to talk about art history

as always, my general advice is to pick an area/topic/era etc you’re interested in and just google it. if you’re in university, have a look at what databases you have access to. all the websites i’ve linked above are free, but there are some great academic resources such as jstor, lexis nexis, historical abstracts, proquest etc. i haven’t included because they’re fee-based subscription services. also, if you’re interested in art history, a lot of museums (e.g. the met, the louvre) often have great articles and exhibitions online. if you’re looking for something more specific, check out this website. hope this helps!
