What really stopped me from getting into the first one was the story and main character. Both felt like some sort of version of what the late 90s video games thought cool dudes were and how they acted. Scruffy looking and bland tshirt and jeans. The main character’s dialog throughout just made me not want to want to…

God I hope not. Art is not some linear progression forwards towards some ideal state.

As opposed to what? Apple? Valve? welcome to capitalism! Just choose the tech lord that most aligns with your worldview that day but don’t delude yourself that anyone is doing it for anything other than maximizing shareholder returns.

As if they are separate things.

Really? A book burning?

I gotta say, the fact that apparently kinja’s platform still relies on gif to deliver inline looping video is ridiculous. Really? in 2021 you can’t get small looping videos on what should be a modern blog platform? And we are all watching 256 color gifs.

Kids parents pay for the loot boxes. It is a real problem and many mobile game developers have specifically targeted children for advertising illegally. They have been fined big fines too for violating copa. So while protecting adults should be done too, though it is harder with the US’s “personal responsibility”…

I love walking into a comments section for a service that I have never used, that sold for over a billion dollars and there are millions of users, and apparently a lot of highly opinionated ones at that. It is crazy how diverse/fractured the media landscape is at this point.

You mean it brought in tetris attack mechanics to the sad match-3 genre? I love tetris attack.

Are these playable if you have never played them? back then I was a console only gamer until, well, really half-life. But I have wanted to circle back on some of these older pc games. Many of them though can be really archaic and hard to get into.

Yeah that is not normal for most of CA. I don’t know where your co-worker lives, probably in the central valley in a glass box, but most people aren’t paying anything close to that.

They’re just playing with us at this point.

Why are people saying this was made by two people?

Mixing f and c like it’s nothing.

What!? no! where will you be writing in the future?

What I don’t understand is why this isn’t released on xcloud simultaneously.

I don’t totally understand the buying of a ~400+ device to avoid buying duplicates of indie games. even expensive indie games you could buy dozens of games twice and still be saving money over buying this (if you already have a switch of course.)

It’s all made up. Generations being restricted to home consoles and excluding handhelds isn’t “reality”. There even being generations to look back on hasn’t really ever been real. Consoles all being released at the same cycle time has never been real. It’s a choice and I think OP makes a good point that maybe it’s a…

Word.

Does twitch not allow embeded video players?
