The indie boomer shooter scene is exploding, actually

Not to be pedantic, but Ahab actually had an ivory leg, not wood.
They're culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn't go in a fruit salad.
I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn't follow anybody, and after a week I couldn't upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).
Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.
What I'm getting at is, fuck tiktok.
I had this really strange game called Seventh Cross Evolution. It wasn't really a good game, but I loved it.
You started out as a tiny amoeba, and ate food to gain evolution points. You'd then use those points to add colors to a grid, I think you had six colors. The arrangement of those colors in the grid would unlock new body parts, like tentacle legs, or human arms, or a shark head.
It was super weird and clunky, but I loved it as a kid. I would spend hours just making pictures and seeing what I'd get. Might have to revisit that one soon, could make a fun stream game.
Hell yeah, Pete & Bas. These two old men go hard as fuck. I've been introing stream with Stepped into the Building for like three months now lol.
I disagree with your last sentence. Not saying air fryers aren't amazing for wings, but you definitely can get juicy, uber-crunchy wings out of a conventional oven with a little bit of prep. A dry brine and a little baking soda will make some insanely juicy wings with a glassy skin in the oven. I prefer to fry mine personally, but that isn't always convenient.
Yep, that was it. Makes me feel a little bit better that every comment under it is calling it out though, thanks for the follow-up.
My favorite example of this so far, the top rated comment on a post about players making a one million science per hour factory in factorio:
Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry is not
Lemmy is so negative, it even hates Factorio.
Lol, you really channeled Dave Barry for that last paragraph.

There's no shortage of great boomer shooters these days, and I think they check the "brain off, cozy shooter" criteria.
