I mean, at this point, I feel like No Man’s Sky is what they promised and more - it definitely had a sub-par launch, but it’s more than made up for that at this point.  Do you mean that you want the Devs to officially say that No Man’s Sky is no longer in development, or that there’s still something you want from the…

I’m going to avoid speculating until they release a pop-up book with her side of the story.

I was surprised that this didn’t include the command line utility youtube-dl, which is good and quick about downloading and using ffmpeg to transcode the video, or just to extract the audio and save it in a variety of different formats. It also gives you a lot of granular control over quality.

The best part is that it…

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues...

I think he’s a couple thousand years old, but I think he’s only been on earth for 20 or 30 years.

Oh, man, I love that game even to this day. Unfortunately, some of the design decisions don’t lend them to modification pretty easily - there’s a lot of stuff hard-coded into the executable rather than being in one of the DLL files, where you’d expect a lot of assets to be. For instance, the number of characters,…

Oh my God. I can’t even imagine it. I would be terrified of it going wrong, but a recreation of Final Fantasy 6 given a AAAA budget Yoshitaka Amano’s artwork kept as the focus... In the words of Reggie Fils-Aime, my body is ready.

I wish Square Enix would stop treating re-releases of older games as shovelware. For every amazing release like Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, there’s a terrible half-assed redux like the PC versions of Final Fantasy 5 and 6, or Secret of Mana, or Chrono Trigger.

I’m not saying that every remake needs to be…

Nevermind, disregard.  I didn’t follow the rules!

Man, chill out. Some dads aren’t cool and aren’t really redeemable. I think we can have an article that appreciates that.

He’s not really given a chance to make up for it - in that same sequence of events, he’s possessed by the spirit of Grahf, who is actually the soulless intelligence of Lacan, who is Fei’s previous incarnation. He’s basically able to drop Fei off with a stranger, and then goes off to be Grahf for a while.

Later,…

Of the games you named, only Murdered by Numbers and Golf Story are only on Switch. The other games are all available for PC.  Part of the problem is that porting games from one console to another takes time and staff-hours, and for independent studios that can be a pretty high cost barrier.  If you feel like the…

“Little did he know”

Yeah, I see these kinds of comments, but people don’t get how harsh and unforgiving other planets are - even the worst climate change projections leave Earth a better place to live than Mars or an orbital habitat for the time-being, and any technology developed to help people merely survive on Mars or in orbit is…

Lenny Bruce said it best.  “There’s nothing sadder than an old hipster”.  It’s worth knowing when it’s time to stop trying to be cool and start sticking with what you’ve got.

There’s a wide space between throwing a teenager in prison for 20-40 years and giving them a stern talking to after molesting several children. It should have been reported to the authorities, there should have been therapy and medical intervention for his victims, and he should have been prevented from coming…

Speaking of someone who lives in Oklahoma, I’m not sure how true this is.  Texas Republicans seem to be more effective than Oklahoma Republicans, but I think that might be more about competence than moderation.

c’est magnifique

Mine is related to depression. When I’m having a hard time, it’s hard for me to start something new - even something I’m interested in, a sequel I’ve been looking forward to or something by a studio I love. Instead, my impulse is to go and play one of a handful of games that have gone beyond being familiar.

I think the…

It happened two years ago, before Covid-19 was a thing.
