I’m sure if she wanted to she could go Chris Livingston on the game and play the game laterally under her own rules. I don’t know that the crafting system would really make sense in a non-violent context though.

The Sims 4 went with a similar approach. I think it really helps, especially in the long term. More stylized aesthetics tend to age a lot better. Or at least it’ll probably still look a lot nicer than Oblivion and Fallout 3/New Vegas’ models do.

I think I’d prefer them portable instead of being tethered to the Wii U, honestly.

If you’re not already sold on the Wii U, you’re not going to play Mother this way. Earthbound didn’t move Wii Us, the less known original game in the series won’t either.

Likely a replacement system could and would be broader in functionality, and at the very least aim to replace the interface mechanisms holding the system together. Which would allow the system to be easier maintained than the current one reliant on the individual who programmed it originally and on no longer produced…

Any rules about not relying on systems you can’t maintain without the help of the individual who created it? I mean, potential lifetime employment for the prospective engineer, but kinda a shitty deal for the people relying on the system.

You don’t think there might be the possibility of additional functionality and efficiency between HVAC systems installed 30 years ago and what we have available now?

Except none of the existing equipment is designed to accommodate any of those things.

No, the article clearly states this is about devices that can be used as both laptops and tablets for under $500. If the article was about $500 tablets that could potentially be laptops if only you spent $150 more, than sure, the Surface 3 would fit. But it isn’t, so you’ll just have to come to terms that your…

If you don’t buy the $150 keyboard accessory, it’s not a convertible. If you do buy it, the cheapest Surface 3 is outside the $500 range. It’s not hard to understand. There’s no conspiracy against the Surface, it’s just not cheap enough to make the list.

It’s disqualified because the cost of the keyboard puts it out of the sub-$500 price bracket, not because the keyboard is separate.

I think after a point they just feel like unaware self-parody. They’re the video game equivalent of the Saw films, gore-porn for the sake of gore-porn, while ostensibly trying to tell a serious story.

I think even when it’s working there’s something about the approach they went that makes Monster Game feel unrewarding. I think having the game be massively multiplayer makes it feel like you’re not progressing as fast as you would be in say Cookie Clicker or Clicker Heroes. There’s a greater emphasis on actual…

There’s a mod that combines Fallout 3 and NV into a single run. Not quite as canonical as the mods that did similar things to the Baldur’s Gate series, but I’m prepping a run to try and play through the both of them again.

Assuming the problem gets fixed there’s nothing stopping him from picking it up again later down the line. The question I have to ask is why would you insist on anyone keeping a game they have a limited window to return when it doesn’t work?

It’s unquestionably the biggest influence on the game. And a self-admitted one. While the developers definitely talked about other influences (like say, Final Fantasy Tactics) what actually went into the game certainly feels a lot like XCOM (I would argue it has more in common with the more recent release, rather than…

I think it was a concept that could have used a larger budget. Following development it certainly doesn’t feel like they were wasting their time, but they definitely knew they only had so much money to continue development.

The original Macbook Air had only a single USB. Which was definitely an issue back then.

I’m curious whether Apple will just drop the Macbook Air line soon now that the Macbook seems poised to try and fill its niche.

I don’t really see the appeal over the existing Macbook Airs. And given the original Macbook Airs suffered from a lack of ports, it seems odd that they’d reintroduce the problem with the new Macbook.
