Pro-tip for anyone reading this: If you’re willing to pony up for PSNow, 4 and 5 are on there if you have some catching up to do. Between that and the upcoming Kiwami 2, there’s so much Yakuza to go around without having to dig out an old console.

Played through chapter 10 on the “demo” Sega accidentally put out, super excited to make things right with the disc version this evening. It should be noted that the bananas gif above is just a fraction of the readily gif-able bananas that go on during that section of the game. It reaches some MGS4 levels of cutscene…

Misleading title, I think his most hated ability is being selectable as a character.

Dead Space 2 had virtually no camera cuts. I _think_ that might’ve been a general trend in that series, but 2 is definitely the one that sticks out in my memory because it was relentlessly engrossing. In fact, 2 is kind of secretly in my top 5 games ever because of it, and I think it’s definitely the AAA game I’ve…

Ugh. We’re not all like that I promise (Well, I was born in the Springs and moved to Golden as an adult, but if anything that makes me _more_ prone to being an asshole, which I’m somewhat sure I’m not).

Agreed. And I’ve found that the in-game indicators both too tiny and way too low contrast compared to the tans and browns on most of the landscape. Not sure if it’s because I have HDR on or what, but I am having a hell of a time picking out almost any of the random icons that pop up when I’m walking around.

That’s a good question. I did some poking on the internet archives and I found a couple demo discs that Chrysler produced, specifically for Lucasarts, which would line up because that disc is really strongly associated in my memory with the launch of Full Throttle. I also remember having gotten the disk from Software…

Whoa, depending on the quality/boxedness of the cart, Captain Novalin can be worth a pretty penny.

I am 90% sure I had this too. I wonder if that has been dumped anywhere, I’d love to see it again.

Just mentioning the word “tipping” really brings out the jerkoffs en masse, huh?

To be clear, I know that’s not really what a femme fatale is, however, I’m just working with what I got here and “Well, I needed to motivate people to spend money to drudge through my match 3 game, and animated comic porn is enough to dupe at least a few people” does not paint nearly as enticing a picture.

Jesus christ dude. There are ways to answer this question without being a petulant twerp. For example, “I set out to make a hard-boiled detective story, and what would that sort of story be without a few femmes fatale?”

New(ish) dad here. We’ve been trying to keep things chill when the kid tumbles, and it has been mostly successful. Not a really huggy kid (except when they’re sick), so generally speaking rushing over and doting isn’t really what the kid wants in our case.

Between this and the asymmetrical co-op game Who’s Your Daddy, it’s kind of hilarious how well silly baby care sims can really distill the parenting experience. Like, mountains of practicalities aside, it really is mostly an endless procession of menial tasks and desperate attempts to stop the kid from wrecking…

Good luck! My advice is mooostly similar to the other commenter’s. Labor was _super_ fast for my partner, and ended up in a c-section by the end (breach), so I think we didn’t quite have that special moment in the way we expected because the experience was more of a sprint than an exhausting marathon. If your…

Unfortunately those damn left and right coasters tend to be the only ones that get the good stuff. I’d give my dominant hand to get a CocoCurry or hell, even a Go Go Curry somewhere in Colorado.

This is a really strange way to subvert the usual hiring process. I’m not sure if it’s gross or not. Like, I assume that you’re signing the rights away to your work when you submit it (the rules are behind a sign in wall)? And all the language feels vague enough that it hints that they’re explicitly looking to hire…

Seems like they (hurdy gurdies) originated roundabout the 11th century, so sure?

Ack, double holy hell dude, I totally read your blog semi-recently during a spate of having My Life In Gaming’s Master Class videos on in the background during work and offhandedly gazing into the abyss that is getting into RGB setups. Dead serious, if you ever wanna make a new friend and grab a beer or lunch or…

Holy hell, it always amazes me when by sheer chance you run into someone in a general forum on the internet who lives, like, within 15 minutes of you. Plus a cursory glance at your discussion history indicates that you’re not as asshole. What a great thing!
