Basically one of those old Flash games where you send units from left to right.

Straightforward and fun! Until you just die for reasons you can’t explain!

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It’s kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball – (1993 game).

Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.

  • A refresh of the 2007 Xbox 360

A top-down strategy game.

I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.

Easy Diffusion icon

A vastly easier-to-use fork of Stable Diffusion.

Fucking amazing.

Unfortunately, I can’t actually get anything decent to render. It comes down to the complexity of the prompts. It doesn’t use the same prompts as Stable Diffusion, so it’s too annoying to copy-paste and even prove that it works to make anything decent at all; fail.

A video editor, and more; too much more.

A terrible initial impression; it requires some patience, watching a tutorial and following instructions. Don’t wander around; don’t use strange features, and stay in the “Edit” view!
