I agree. Some of this is the fault of the RNG, and that means you’ve got a team that can win. When you mess with that team, you’re adding an unknown element.

Introversion Software is batting about .500 right now. Uplink was great, DefCon was really good, and Prison Architect is slowly absorbing my life.

Sorry, friend. Not gonna happen, apparently.

As a new overseer, can I ask you to put up a screenshot of what you’re talking about when you say they have to loop back? I just got this for android yesterday and it looks like imma need help.

For just a sec, I was hoping someone had finally recreated Rocket Jockey, the greatest piece of abandonware in my long gaming career. This is not that, but it’ll do.

Personally, I expect an endless series of Mickey Mouse Protection Acts to ensure that nothing ends up in the public domain without being explicitly released by the author for at least my lifetime.

Maybe you did. I, however, have become rather a deft hand at migrating my saves from a pirated copy to a legit one.

I’m with ArmySheepy, spotify is the right way to buy music right now.

That’s a question of follow-through. In the olden days, there were demos for almost all major games, so you could find out if they sucked/sucked on your hardware. Nowadays, no demos, so the only option I have is piracy, then it’s up to me to be a decent person and decide that if I’m going to keep playing the game, I…

I bought the license to play Bad News Baseball for the NES, and I’m gonna keep playing Bad News Baseball for the NES on whatever technology comes along. I look forward to playing it on a quantum computer.

Being right feels good. It certainly feels better than actually furthering the goals of social justice, or these tumblrites would find a way to do it that doesn’t inevitably make themselves into Equalityperson, Heroic Champion of Non-Normative Justice!

((Paragraph 1 could you reword it so it’s “grammatically correct” or “pertinent to the discussion”? I know it was intended, and it came off as passively aggressive))

You’re dealing with, in top executives, the type of people that really do view everyone who doesn’t buy their product as a lost sale.

I’m not gonna bitch at you for posting this, because I too suffer from a backlog of games that went on sale/were in a bundle/looked cool that I’ve never touched. I see why you think Valve should do this. I don’t see why you think Valve would think they should do this. What’s their angle in this scheme which, as…

I’m a mostly-casual PC gamer running what you would politely call “budget” hardware, and all of the piracy I do is on a “try before you buy” basis. Mostly because I’m never sure if I can actually run the games I want to play, but also because getting burned for $60 sucks and there doesn’t seem to be any such thing as…

Funny you should bring that up, competitive magic has a few unwritten rules like that. One of the things I always had a problem with from a sportsmanship perspective is the consensual rigging of tournament results. Late in a tournament, if you’ve already won enough matches to make a top 8, it’s expected that you…

Hate-drafting. I can’t tell from the article, but it seems like the format they’re playing is a draft. tldr for drafting: everyone opens a pack, picks one card, then passes the rest of the pack to the left. Repeat until you’re out of packs, then build a deck and play a tournament with it. Hate-drafting is when you…

I’m just getting back in after about a decade with the game, then a 5 year hiatus (I left during the arcbound ravager controversy). In my experience, there is general inflation. Power is going up, but so is the cost of doing anything too awesome. The days of getting a land, a mox and a sol ring out on turn 1, then…

She is a role model for women. She’s proof that women can be as cutthroat, hypocritical and misogynistic as men. I suppose, compared to the damsel in distress trope, this is some perverse form of progress.

‘A god is like a mollusk, and the church is it’s shell. As the mollusk grows, the shell grows around it. But, as the mollusk begins to whither and die, the shell remains in place until the god itself is gone and the church is all that remains.’
