So, I Have A Big Advice Post To Write, But Until I Have The Spoons, I Want To Warn Everyone Now Who Has

flourless brownie cookies

150g chocolate

70g butter

150g granulated suga

2 eggs

30g cocoa powder

¼tsp salt

90g chopped chocolate

melt together the chocolate (150g) & butter, then set aside & let cool till lukewarm

in a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar & eggs till pale and fluffy, nearly tripled in side --- takes about 5min

add the chocolate mixture to the sugar & eggs

fold in the cocoa & salt

fold in the chopped chocolate

chill in the freezer for 20-30min

preheat oven to 180C/340F & grease a baking sheet very well

make 1tb balls of dough, spaced apart for a bit of spread

bake for 8-9min, or until the cookies are puffed up & have crackly tops

let cool on sheet 10min, but loosen from sheet with a spatula after 5min

obtaining roms

edge emulation (missing some consoles; CD-based games come in compressed formats such as CHD; very fast DL speed)

cdromance (mostly has games for CD-based consoles; games come in uncompressed iso or bin/cue; has a lot of pre-patched rom hacks; medium-fast DL speed)

alvro collection spreadsheet (pretty much everything, including many newer consoles; slightly inconvenient to navigate; download site limits to 1 download every 30 mins, can be worked around with vpn; very fast DL speed)

planetemu (largely in french; has a lot of obscure titles other sites lack; fast DL speed)

script that lets you download from emuparadise post-shutdown (pretty much everything; medium DL speed; can occasionally be uncooperative)

ROMs Megathread/Archive (everything, really; slow DL speed; usually a last resort if you can't find something anywhere else)

i don't currently recommend vimm's lair due to very slow speeds and offering nothing that isn't on other sites

sites offering 3ds/switch games get shut down very frequently so i won't be linking them in order to keep this post from getting outdated but you can find them if you snoop around reddit (the 3dspiracy and switchpirates subs in particular) a little

softmodding and loading roms on some popular consoles:

Switch

Wii

3DS, Vita, Wii U

PS2

PSP

recommended emulators and emulation guides:

Emulation General Wiki

games are great. go play some games.

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

in-browser multiplayer games

these are some games i like playing with my friends, feel free to leave additions in the replies =3 all of these games are accessible through a desktop/mobile browser, although i don’t know how many of them would work on mobile.

tough love arena: a super fun beta fighter! you can play rolling 1v1 matches in lobbies of up to 8 people

gartic phone: kinda like the game telephone, but for drawings instead!

skribbl.io / sketchful.io: pictionary! you can add your own prompts.

draw battle: kinda skribbl/sketchful but team versus team!

frantic fanfic: put in your own characters and work together to make fanfics! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

giddio: buncha board and table games!

tagpro: topdown tag game!

codenames: use teamwork and hints to guess your team’s code names!

town of salem: mafia type game– might be difficult to play nowadays

mafia.gg: ever played TOS or any mafia game? this is a simple text-based form of it! really fun for roleplaying within the game.

one night ultimate werewolf: another social deduction game!

spyfall: game works better in call- figure out who the spy among you is by asking questions about your special location!

pokemon showdown: make a poketeam and play matches!

tetr.io: online tetris! kinda functions like tetris99.

there are a LOT of cards against humanity clones, like pretend you’re xyzzy or picturecards… i haven’t tried a lot of them, so proceed with caution!

geoguessr / virtualvacation: guess locations of places- virtualvacation is like geoguessr, but with videos instead

saw a post abt HBO removing shows that suggests ppl just “burn dvds” but everyone doesnt know how to do that so here is one way to do that

- get blank dvds (Both +R or -R work), these are not very expensive for the amount you can get in bulk (if you are in the US 100 of them is about 30$ at walmart)

- an external DVD drive that plugs in via usb is also around 20-40$ (it tends to be closer to 20)

- download DVDFlick (free)

- if you don’t already have the mp4/mpeg of whatever media you want to burn, you can download movies/shows off of sites like gomovies.sx and soap2day

gomovies.sx will have a download button that looks like this

below the video you can choose one of these

if you click streamlare for example and then the download button it will take you here where the mp4 is

(if you’re on an iphone/ipad, clicking download will save it to your files app)

- if you cant find the download button on soap2day you can also install a video downloader extension which will find the movie for you

- at this point you can drag and drop it into a google drive or keep it on your computer but if you still want it on dvd ->

- open dvd flick, drag and drop the video

- click “project settings”

- give it whatever title you want, you can change encoder to “normal” (default is below normal if you are doing other things on the computer). you dont need to change target size or thread count (unless you want to)

- insert a blank dvd into your drive, make sure you click “burn project to disc”

- click accept then click “create dvd” next to menu and project settings. it will create a destination folder and this dialogue box will pop up when you click “create” on more dvds, just click “yes” and then “okay” on the box that appears after it

it’ll take a couple hours, once its done take a sharpie & write whats on it and stick it in a case . or dont . im not ur mom

MY BROTHER ; THE PARASITE

People die, and sometimes they come back. Your brother is one of those. Even as his body rots and his mind unravels, he still has control over you— just like when you were kids.

A short, interactive story about a corpse, a complicated sibling relationship, and the things we forget. Made in Twine. Written, illustrated, and coded in about three weeks for the IFComp.
