Just to clarify something that has been bothering me for some time, a “religious person” isn’t necessarily homophobic. A “BIGOT religious person” might be—and usually is.

I’ve been religious (Christian Catholic) all my life, very much so in my childhood, and my family is still very involved with church on a daily basis, with my dad being a deacon. None of us is homophobic and never was.

I’m not very knowledgeable in Bible, but I believe Jesus himself (son of God) never ever talked about or against homosexuality in his teachings, but rather he always promoted compassion and tolerance towards everyone. The homophobic bits in the Bible come from people in the culture of the time. Even Jesus’s disciples weren’t perfect, I believe that’s well known.

Extra OT:

• Jesus, although promoting peace and tolerance, did famously get mad when a holy place got exploited and turned into a place of trade and commerce (oh the irony! Imagine what he would today…).

• He also wasn’t very tolerant of hypocrites, of rich people who advertised their minimal-effort charity acts while looking down at poorer people’s charity donations, of people in power who lacked compassion, and other POS categories like that.

Dude was legit rad. Most self-proclaimed “Christian Bible lovers” will never understand how revolutionary and “communist” he actually was. They’re stuck with some words from common people victim of the culture of the time.

Listed under “Extras and emulators/engines”! Thanks for the entry :)

I’m not sure what was on itch.

Superluminal Vagrant Twin is on itch and apparently can be played in browser.

Yes, this list.

You’re welcome! Have fun :)

OK the game has been delisted. Thanks for checking!

Added, thank you :)

Are these browser games, or they have a file to be loaded into Fabularium, or both?

I found them on itch.io, but I’d appreciate some links (if any other) and some more info about the kind of games they are, like:

• are they apps?

• browser games?

• roms for emulator?

• FOSS or not?

Sorry if I sound pedantic, but I go through many entries to verify, get links for, and classify into genre. Thanks :)

Added, thanks :)

Thanks for the explanation. I see the advantages of it, I’m just not sure that’s necessarily more efficient or needed for my lists—there aren’t lots of changes usually, and I enjoy the process anyways. I might give it a try at some point though!

Thanks! Added both :)

So, it kinda works similarly to an emulator? Plus it can create text adventures, it seems. Am I correct? I’m not familiar

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not familiar with how Codeberg works (first time I heard about it actually), but I’ll look into it as soon as I have more free time. For now, I’m OK with Lemmy posting.

If you’re not bothered, mind explaining how it’d be more efficient or convenient? Keep in mind that I work on this EXCLUSIVELY from a phone, because for me sitting at a PC desk=work (I mean the boring one that pays the bills lol).

Added, thanks for the entry! I used the F-droid link as I believe it is more user friendly. Both F-droid and GitHub versions are on the same v. number.

Added. Thank you!

Have you heard about ScummVM?

It’s a virtual machine that can run old PC games, including Zork, Secret of Monkey Island, etc. Here’s a list of games it should run: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Where_to_get_the_games

The other day I was playing The Curse of Monkey Island on ScummVM on my phone and it ran quite well.

Totally! I mean, among the categories/genres already in the list, I thought “Management” was the most fitting. The game does fall under a few other genres (sandbox, space trading, etc.), but I can’t have a genre for a single game or the list would look too long and scattered—harder for users to browse, IMO.

Usually, I wait to have 2 or more games of the same subgenre to open a new category for them :)

Thanks for the heads up. Since this is a user-recommendation list and I haven’t played the vast majority of these games (I merely double check on the surface, Google, Perplexity), just a question before I delist the game:

• have you been playing the game yourself to the point you reached a pay wall?

If yes, consider the game nuked.

I tried playing the game a bit, but some puzzles aren’t too quick to solve so I haven’t met any paywall yet.

Added to the “Netflix games” section. Thanks :)

So, I checked those games:

• Zombotron contains ads so I moved it to a bottom, hidden section for games with minimal ads/IAPs

• Dock The Rocket added IAPs, so same as above

• Shattered Pixel Dungeon has two entries in my list, and both match criteria. One is from the Play Store and has optional IAP for donations only—see rule #3 of criteria. The other entry is a link to the game in F-droid, so no ads or IAPs.

Thanks for reporting this. Some games start free without ads or IAPs, then devs add them later on. I don’t blame them, as that’s their work and people must eat, but I’ll double check the games you mentioned and remove them if they don’t match entry criteria any longer.

Oh bother! I’ll add that one too XD
