  1. #riven Myst e Riven arrivano su console Anche i giocatori console potranno giocare ai famosi titoli gamernews.it/notizie/2026/05/0

  2. this is not well known, so i thought i'd share this -
    way back in 2020, ars released a short interview with rand miller about myst and the challenges of the cd-rom format. it's mildly interesting, but obviously cut from a much larger tapestry.

    they eventually released the full, 2h interview with rand, but very few people saw it. in the extended version, he talks about the very early days of working with HyperCard, from the Manhole to Cosmic Osmo to Spelunx. he goes into obscene amounts of detail with the constraints of working with HC and 80s/90s macs, writing custom XCMD and XFCNs, building in 3d with StrataVision, and using Debabelizer to build palettes.

    he does an amazing job of explaining what the constraints were for computing in that era. for anyone curious about what it was like making games in the 80s/90s, i can think of few other interviews that express the realities and joys of working in confined space so well:

  9. I was looking for the notes I took for #riven I heard people say that I got to write down what sounds some puzzle pieces make, but I am not good with sounds, so I just wrote words that would remind me of them. The list so far looks like this : a crow, ?, an old slumbering bear, little wings, and a specter washing its window.
    People should be glad that I am not writing guides, lmao

  11. Tomorrow I should go back to old Riven and progress a bit to learn more about the lore. The last time I played, I reached the D'ni school via submarine. I kinda don't know which way to go now, but I think I will figure it out.

  15. Migraine stream! I've taken my medicine and had a short nap. Rather than cancel on you, I'm going to try to soldier on through. I might need to end stream early though, we'll see. Anyhoo, back to the wonderful #Riven. #ActuallyAutistic #VTuber

  16. RIVEN! PUZZLES GALORE! LIVE NOW! 🥳 twitch.tv/elmagnificogames #Riven #ActuallyAutistic #VTuber

  17. Atrus needs our help to rescue his wife, Catherine, who is being held prisoner in her home, the world of Riven, which is gradually falling apart. We're told her captor is named 'Gehn'. Things could be going better 😅 twitch.tv/ElMagnificoGames #Riven #ActuallyAutistic #VTuber

  18. Now GOG are doing a Myst and Riven bundle.

    I *do* have Riven as well. And realMyst (which doesn't appear in GOG if you search your library for "Myst"). But not the rest.

    Do I need them for £18? That's about half the sale price of the full collection on GOG 🤔

  19. Amazing! The three Myst novels have been republished under one trilogy (with some lore adjustments).

    The Book of Atrus and the Book of Ti'ana, some of my favorite sci-fi novels.
    The first one especially, is one of those *rare* video game tie-in novels that stands on its own as a great novel, regardless of whether you've played or enjoyed Myst.

    Sadly, they are only available for Amazon Kindle and Apple Books for now, but I hope they can release them later to different stores (and perhaps even DRM-free).
