This is gonna be awful (not like the original was any good)

I don’t work on the print side of things, but I generally understand that printers will print the sheets on larger sized paper then trim down to the final product, so even if its a spiral bound book, the raw sheets are gonna be on larger sheets regardless, thus the multiples of 4 (two pages for each side of the piece of paper).

its to tell you the page is not accidentally blank. laying out text for a physical document has limitations on the page count and generally needs to be in multiples of 4 due to double-sided printing and paper stock options. if you have a layout that can’t cover the entire surface of your print media but you need to include the entire physical sheet, (especially if its a technical / legal document) its best to just say “there isn’t meant to be anything here, don’t’ worry.” in so many words.

otherwise you get people calling / emailing being like “your form is missing a part! there’s a whole blank sheet when I print it out! >:(“

But like, the commercial said that making games is just sitting on a couch and pressing a sound board to add that one sound effect in level 3, so like I don’t know why they want money for it.

Okay. Company will cancel.

I was wondering but that really doesn’t answer what the hell is happening in this picture.

Currently it’s Bellwright, among many other titles. what particularly tickles me about it is the shitty ai voices they used for the npcs. I am not pro ai by any means, but nothing makes me happier than hearing “all in a good days of work.” delivered constantly, in the most off-kilter reading imaginable.

probably a lifetime of trouble shooting and asking the internet if there’s a linux equivalent of insert name software available.

I would suggest searching Steam for games.

I don’t be leave this is a pension but rather a bot collecting date.

For on the Girly Games that are Pink

And on the Mind Craft and Animalsers Cross.

No combat necessary.

Play some games and figure out how to make compelling content. Don’t crowdsource key gameplay mechanics for free.

One of Bethesda’s greatest loading screen simulators of all time, maybe even better than Starfield.

the internet would fall silent.

Just musing on the fact that Bethesda doesn’t care about making games and instead just cashes in on nostalgia. I also think their finance bros realized their upcoming big IP drop is going to be an objective POS and wanted to prime people’s expectations by re-releasing a 20 year old game with some lipstick on it.

It would be neat if they hired some people who actually had innovative ideas about gameplay, visuals and stories to maybe make a neat new game within an existing or new IP, but they haven’t done that in literal decades so I think its pretty reasonable to not be incredibly excited about anything they are putting out or planning to put out in the future.

Me hearing about Trump.

Hope he meets a violent end soon. Hope this country gets some competent leaders soon too. That criminal and his associates deserve the worst form of justice.

This situation we are in is the culmination of Capitalism and two nearly identical parties driving the United States for the past 2XX years.

Often when I am sick of all the things I’ve been playing or feeling uninspired I go for a genre switch. To that end I will always recommend Neir: Replicant and Neir: Automata—I feel like a failure and a fool to have sat on them for so many years. Those are both games that feature very approachable gameplay with the whole deep story and cross genre mechanics that the split fiction devs seem to be good at (and are both single player), just be sure to continue playing after the first (and second and third, etc) credits roll.

Other random suggestions:

Bellwright is a really good colony sim / survival craft combo (although I’ve not played it single player so not sure how great it is in that mode).

Cyberpunk 2077 is just fucking great if you haven’t played that.

Disco Elysium if you’re really looking for some Get Stick Bugged content. (and a fantastic drunk cop RPG)

yeah but those women also actively engaged in a relationship with the Worlds Biggest Asshole to the point of having a children with The Worlds Biggest Asshole—good road map for initial big sharp drop rig contraption testers; just sayin.

Ok.

I reported the incorrect name in apple maps, google provides no such option.

They’ve always been basic as fuck games. when red and blue and gold and silver were new they were fun as hell but 30 years down the line and 0 innovations beyond “they get big now”—the games are literally half baked garbage.

Go play Ni No Kuni or Palworld if you want and experience of what pokémon should’ve done with its video games at any point in the past 3 decades.
