He'd be a hardcore ascii only roguelike player.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

Hell yeah. Anything else is bourgeois decadence.

Anything else being called a roguelike is revisionism used to market games and ignores the fundamental contradictions between adventurers and dungeons

I've been on a Brogue CE kick recently and can confirm that shit is still as good as games can be

I'm imagining Marx writing a dissertation on the water economy in Caves of Qud

[-] TheDeed@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

I wish caves of qud worked well with a controller, I do couch PC gaming and that's one roguelike I've been wanting to try

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I think it might be better since the 1.0 release a few weeks ago. Feel like I remember something in the notes about improved controller support

[-] TheDeed@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

This is excellent news, thank you! I hadn't heard

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

I too prefer controller gaming; controller support is awesome

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 12 points 5 days ago

if marx was alive today, he'd be, like, crazy old.

[-] Balefirex@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

It's called the immortal science for a reason

[-] gnawmon@lemm.ee 16 points 5 days ago

He would be a friend of Jimbo

I sometimes think about what Marx would make of the failed spartacist uprising and the successful soviet revolution. Germany was the one place where the "ideal conditions" for socialism were present - Urbanised workers, industrial, politically aware, etc. and it got crushed.
It's not like he didn't account for it, but I wonder whether that would have made him revisit some things. I'd also like to know what he'd main in smash. Then again he could be a LoL type.
Likewise I am curious about how knowledge of climate change (to the apocalyptic extent we see it) would affect his work.

I love rogue likes and I want more.
