Random video game intro: Eye of the Beholder 2.
I really love this intro. It's peak pixel art. The music is nice. The whole mood is dark, foreshadowing and mysteriously. Beatiful 
Okay, it is not so random, it's one of my favorites :D
Finished Eye of the Beholder I last night, this is the fist time I had seriously put effort into it since having played originally many decades ago. Gotta love the ending on many of these old games - it's literally just a page of text, and then immediately quits to DOS. I respect that - the real enjoyment in these games is the journey!
For #vgmwednesday here's a dungeon crawler composed by Yuzo Koshiro that starts with the letter E. That's right, it's...
...Eye of the Beholder for Sega CD!
Composed by Motohiro Kawashima and Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame, this is not a typical dungeon crawler. While EoB doesn't innovate from DugeonMaster or go so far off the rails (like that other Koshiro dungeon crawler that starts with E) this music gives the game a weird sci-fi vibe that's quite unique. I love this early-CD music era and this is a good one.
It also supported the Sega mouse, so that's fun too.

In our last #ISE2025 lecture last week, we were discussing what makes a node "important" in a knowledge graph. A simple heuristics can be borrowed from graph theory or communication theory: Degree Centrality
Interestingly, in Wikidata In-degree centrality states Jane Austen to be to most "important" female author, while Out-degree centrality claims J.K. Rowling as being more "important" ;-)

I played Eye of the Beholder I didn't beat it but I didn't intend to this was just trying the game out to see how I would do and I got further than I expected to get. Please check out my #Twitch stream and please boost this post as I'm a #SmallStreamer after my stream ended I raided @Abby_rebel

Twitchangelus_05 - TwitchYou know me better as childofthe80s1981 on Youtube. I play mostly retro games but I do play newer games as well. Streams will now be saved to Youtube.
A friend of my be gifted me a #Commodore 386SX-16 system with a #PC50 III motherboard. It's been en a long time since I've messed with vintage PCs outside of the #MiSTer FPGA so this was an interesting hands-on project that brought a lot of lessons.
First of all, if you're only going to run #MSDOS on it, it's actually a decent machine. I've always been more of a tools and development guy than a gamer, meaning more Norton Utilities and Borland C and a little less Civilization and Defender of the Crown. I did enjoy shooters like #Wolfenstein3D, dungeon crawlers like #EyeOfTheBeholder and #LucasArts adventures like #MonkeyIsland, #ManiacMansion and #ZakMcKracken.
Anyway, I digress. The machine was heavily yellowed on the outside but near spotless on the inside. Featuring a 1.44MB floppy drive, 4MB RAM and a 40MB Seagate HDD, this thing could potentially run most of the apps I grew up using. Now if I could only expand the storage options a bit..

Anlässlich der @gruftschrecken -Folge zu #eyeofthebeholder : Wer teilte noch mein Schicksal, in den 90ern zwar einen Eltern-PC nutzen zu können, der aber lediglich Hercules-Grafik aufwies? Mir blieben damit nur (das zwar saugeile) #UltimaVI und das (krude, aber charmante) #darkheartofuukrul als #rpgs , aber die Monochromstufen auf dem Bernsteinmonitor suchen mich heute noch in Träumen heim. #crpg #gaming

@Gamrok I have only one pick, but with fond memories attached to it. #eyeofthebeholder
