I’ve seen games that handle it better. It still boiled down to basic resources which had to be used to construct building materials, but beyond the building materials, crafting also told you straight up how much of the base resource is required to build the final product and it just automatically crafts the…

Yeah, it’s just logistically very difficult to add direct representatives, Senators or Representatives, due to the already limited space and resources. Where you’d have more options, though still limited, would be to increase the local staff in the home state in order to help weed through the junk, summarize any…

It’s even more interesting when you have a 15 month old and then there’s a new baby. Our 15 month old is still in that changing state with potty training just on the horizon...and here comes another diaper we’ll have to change (which will probably end up delaying our 15 month old’s potty training, but there’s nothing…

Had a conversation with a co-worker about this yesterday. I 100% admit that a majority of white are assholes. I agree that many of them are of a “my way or the highway” mentality. I personally don’t agree with many opinions...on both sides...but I also understand that’s their right to an opinion. As long as…

It’s been said by many people I know and was echoed by much of the election coverage last night...a vote for Trump in many cases was not a vote for his policies or even him. Many people...the people that swung the election ultimately...voted for him as a rejection vote because they either specifically very much…

Good, maybe they’ll hire them like they did Christian Whitehead.

I’m not sure it’s generally an option in adults. It’s really there for young children who are at major risk with something like rotovirus. I don’t suppose there’s any reason not to take it as an adult, but I suspect you’ll get a head turn or two.

If memory serves, you should only have to flip it a single time...and it wasn’t a song that flipped it so much as the light arrows.

Wow, that’s some shitty Android modding they’ve done then. That’s why I stick with Moto and their (mostly) stock Android.

You can’t turn that off!?

You play random levels from online just like the Wii U version. You just cannot pick and choose other than from the few recommended choices they provide. I mean, I own the Wii U version, but I’m totally getting this for Christmas just so I can play random Mario levels when I’m not home.

It is very typical of that era. I love those old bouncy, musical cartoons.

There’s also something about simpler designs that actually make the characters feel more alive. I recall reading/hearing something recently about animation and having a character show emotion...to become more fleshed out through visuals. If I’m remembering correctly, they specifically talked about how you had to…

Agreed. I feel Flash (and computer animation in general) are a big influence in regards to style. With computer animation, it’s possible to just bend and move things without necessarily redrawing them which makes simple base shapes much easier to animate.

Right. It becomes a matter of style over substance. You can have a beautifully drawn cartoon that doesn’t engage the audience. Plus, the animation of today, while aesthetically simpler, is much more involved in terms of actual movement and fluidity...a product of that simpler base artwork.

And I imagine that Adventure Time was influenced heavily by the advent of computer animation, largely the early days of Flash. Many cartoons you see today have a Flash-like quality to them even though Flash as an animation tool is laughable these days.

Uh, if I was approaching the 14 day refund window and still hadn’t got the game running, you can bet your ass I’d get my refund. After that, wait a few weeks for some patches to come out and then try it again. Rinse and repeat until the software actually works.

Yeah, we’ll see when I get the game. It may have sections I prefer to jump to the mouse, but that’s the beauty of most PC games: you can switch on the fly. Like I said, I use my controller exclusively for piloting in NMS, but otherwise I’m using my mouse and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Yeah, I’m avid K+M for shooters, but anything else works better with my Wii U Pro Controller. AC:Syndicate, flying in No Man’s Sky, Batman, Axiom Verge, Rocket League...much better with controller.

I was focusing on in game in particular and really anything other than a listing of units and everything was almost entirely outside the games themselves. Sorry, I got into MMX late, so I don’t actually own any of the manuals and my views of those early games are kind of from the perspective of the games only because…
