Side point: pirate corporate shit without guilt, but also be adventurous and find alternatives at the same time. Pirating corporate media isn't directly giving them money but reinforces their hegemony.

Elevating indie media – whatever you find that speaks to you – is a real way to fight back.

I've been spending a lot more time on indie media. Did you know they made Dave Made a Maze (2017) for under half a million? That's insane to me.

Same! Right now I'm playing Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. It's only $5 right now on GOG (Windows-only, but works great on Linux; even vanilla WINE hasn't shown any problems).

It's a love letter to the Zelda CDi games that even gets the original actors for Zelda (intro) and Link (tutorial) as cameos. They got an artist from the original games to work on it, and the artstyle, music, gameplay, etc. are all an homage to the original games. The game's lead creator had previously unofficially remastered the CDi games and (based on what I've played so far) clearly adores them for the absolute mess they are.

I wasn't sure about it when I got it, but it's so worthwhile if you get any joy out of the CDi games' ridiculousness but never wanted to endure their abysmal gameplay. Solid 7.5/10 – where 5/10, not 7/10, is average.

I never got exposed to those games, but for the price - and just at a glance, how much love there is in this - I'll have to snag that!
