Deconstructor of Fun’s Post

Are you maximizing your game drives to their full potential? 🎮 Game drives have become a crucial part of the gaming world. They provide us with the necessary storage to house our favorite games. But, are we using them effectively? There are numerous ways to optimize these devices, from choosing the right format to regular maintenance. Let's not forget about the importance of backing up your data. It's time to level up your gaming experience by making the most of your game drives.

“Progress! What progress? You’ve removed the river. Destroyed nature. Driven the animals out!” said Snufkin to the park-keeper in Melody of Moominvalley. The recent release of the video game Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley marks a continued rise in #videogames engaging with the climate and ecological crises. However, unlike other games, the plot of Melody of Moominvalley, as mentioned in the trailer, is “about restoring harmony with nature”. The story begins with Snufkin leaving Moomintroll during his winter hibernation. Snufkin returns in the spring to find an absence of animals (and ones that have remained are frightened or actively fleeing), a dried-up river and sporadic patches of deforested woodland. It becomes clear early on that something is not right with Moominvalley. Restoring harmony with nature against exploitative forces is key to the game play and narrative. The Moomin’s hibernation patterns have been exploited, with construction and #deforestation taking place while they are asleep for winter. Indeed, as the game progresses, players discover that the river has been dammed to support the irrigation of newly constructed parks across the valley. This initiative has been commissioned and enforced by another Moomin, the park-keeper, who has grand visions of what progress should look like. Throughout the game, players must help Snufkin navigate and raise his inspiration level – similar to “experience points” or XP in other games – to complete tasks. Inspiration is raised by engaging with nature, by running through bushes or playing music for animals, for example. This mechanism intentionally makes the players interact with nature to release Moominvalley from the exploitative park-keeper. Two themes run throughout Melody of Moominvalley and represent the challenges associated with the dominant ways in which our nature connection is understood in the west. First, the idea that nature will find its own harmony and ecological balance without major human interference runs throughout Moomin history. This is demonstrated by the long success that the Moomins and animals have had co-existing in Moominvalley before the park-keeper became involved. Much like prominent environmental activist groups have often proclaimed, humans (or in this case, #Anglo-centric capitalist Moomins) appear to be the main problem. Throughout the game, each park must be destroyed by Snufkin and then a cutscene (an extra video that pops up) shows the flourishing of diverse trees and flowers. This implies that removing human interference heals nature. 🔻🔻🔻 Click/tap image below to see video on YouTube 🔻🔻🔻

"One of the main aspects of the game is being able to mod it and play different versions. Now, a new mod called Ark: Survive the Night transforms Ark: Survival Ascended into a horror game. The mod was created by Blue Isle Studios, a developer with expertise having developed the popular Slender: The Eight Pages back in 2012, as well as a series of other horror games." #modding #premiummod #ArkSurvival #horror #horrorgame #horrormod #mod
