  • I worked with addiction services and AA, for me, seemed quite culty. Its not explicit that “acknowledge that you have to hand your personal agency over to an imagined ‘higher power’” is one of the steps.

    They start using these in-group phrases and shit… it always felt like they were seconds away from having secret handshakes and assigning themselves ranks like “deputy high priest of “I used to drink all the time””
















  • Please don’t misunderstand- I still have the magic book that came with it (I lost the Kyle the Younger book), and when my mom passed away a few years ago and I had to clean out her house, I sold the cloth map on ebay (I got like 60€ I think). I was annoyed I couldn’t find that little ankh that came w/ the game…

    I used to read the magic spells book over and over. I was probably 9 or 10. Y(up) and Z(down) … god those dungeons were tricky. I was always scared to drink from fountains (blech, poisoned?) Its been a while.

    So I know all about it, the mantras… those portals w/ the phases of the moon… anyway, I was young. I think I got one of the virtues, but I felt like to get the Valor one you had to kill like 20 guards and it was never gonna happen. I did show every friend who came over the tarot card scene at the beginning to choose your character class, though.

    I tried to see if I could finally make it about 5 years ago and downloaded some kinda emulator, but I think I had trouble “changing discs” and lost progress and gave up.

    What emulator are you using? i played it on Apple IIc, and I’d want to use that same exact everything if I was to give it a go.
