Aha! You managed to edit the post while I walked from my laptop to my desktop in another room to see if it would fit on a bigger monitor.

For some reason I have never got into rougelikes. I don't know why, they're true to the style of the very earliest adventure games since before computers were a thing, so they're doing something right. 

Anyway, just think how fab that game would be rewritten. I mean, the name says it all, UnReal World on the Unreal Engine, with an  i9 14900KF and an RTX4090 plus 64GB of DDR5 TBH.

I sort of agree. And yes, for environmental reasons as much as anything, and for my electricity bills. I think things like bitcoin and now AI have been a fucking disaster. And gaming doesn't help. Every time Nintendo has a new game that runs on its underpowered Switch platform is a bonus. 

I'm kinda sick of roguelikes. Or I'm sick of very game *being* roguelike(/lite). Every new cool looking RPG and I'm like I'll play that... oh, it's roguelike. I want to get lost in games, not start from scratch every few hours.

URW gets a pass cos it's really a survival game where you can't quicksave which is a *bit* different. 

I enjoy roguelikes now and then but I don't want *everything* to be roguelike.

And hah, a first person remake of URW would actually be amazing.

And yeah, amen to AI And crypto being fucking stupid.
