This is quite a complex situation.

It may not be for everyone but Julius Caesar clearly loved that part of the job.

I haven’t played that Astrobot game (I don’t have a PS5) but I am not surprised with it being highly praised honestly.

Astrobot Rescue Mission was awesome, even forgetting about it being VR. It’s very fun and well designed, with new ideas all the way through, up there with Super Mario Galaxy to me. That team definitely knows their stuff.

I am bestowing the word of power upon you.

Use it responsibly.

Holy branding, batman!

Oh, that’s what it was about. K2 was sneaky.

Also like some others here I thought the pie was the head of some beast under the car…

If we’re going full 66 Batman, the reactor fire should be lazily curling upward like a nice campfire, rather than a blowtorch.

Perfect for marshmallows!

The founders still owned a (very small) part of it, and Nintendo just bought those from them.

Which may be a bit worrying. People are wondering if Takahashi wants out.

Yeah that’s what confused me at first too. I thought it was a console embedded in its controller, like some retro plug and play consoles do, but then I saw the guy played it with an extra PS1 controller plugged into it.

So it’s basically a pi looking like a controller, but with non-functional controls. Not what I was expecting, but sure, why not.

I’m working in (local) French public service. We’ve developed apps with basic gender inclusive language (not iel, more like including genders in form titles and messages), a while before the government banned it from official communication.

As of now, nobody has done anything to remove that from the apps, because we don’t see the point and we have way more important things to do to actually improve services.

One great thing about Okami is that because of its art style and direction, it ages quite well.

Not that this is very relevant to that wreck of a DMCA takedown, but IMO, yeah, these toys are absolute shit. Their ugly “style” make most of them absolutely unrecognisable without the label on the box. And yet they exist for absolutely anything.

They’re worse LEGO minifigures, without the excuse of being tiny and part of a construction set.

It’s definitely a huge failure on the registrar part, but I wouldn’t say “mainly”, because it makes it sound like it’s normal for a company to send random blanket claims in all directions just in case something sticks.

I’m sure it’s not what you meant, but there definitely needs to be some sort of penalty for bad actors (including mass unsupervised automated claims).

I thought that too for a while! I had played Lands of Lore first, and I just assumed MM worked the same way.

I liked Lands of Lore a lot, but it terrified me at times.

I played that long ago (I had a MM1-5 collection on a CD-ROM).

I finished the Clouds of Xeen side without much trouble, I was even surprised when I realized I had found that part’s ending (I think, anyway). But I never could do any progress on Darkside… Not sure what I was missing.

I am curious how you scribble your way out of Daggerfall’s dungeons. Even the game’s 3D automap is basically too messy to be of any use.

Three very different games I actually took notes for :

La Mulana. In the “modern” version you have limited memory space to save some of the many texts you find, but you’ll need more than that to solve the puzzles anyway. Good luck trying to scribble the weird pixelated symbols on your notes, too.

I play Shin Megami Tensei games with notes to optimize fusions, when I have a particular demon in mind and I want them to inherit the right skills. Later games let you see fusion results, but only one step ahead.

And then there’s spacechem. I love Zachtronics games in general, and all the following ones tend to be progressive in difficulty and let you experiment from a good enough solution to better solutions. As the first, less refined one, spacechem is special. Before long it needs planning and calculations to even get something that works.

I mean, it’s okay, catholic christians eat their god all the time.

What good is preserving old cultural products if you can’t use them the way they were intended? Oh yeah, we’ve good that old record of a book/piece of music/movie in our archive. No, nobody can access it, it’s not fair for people selling newer ones!

Haven’t tried that, no. Not sure I would be very interested in the control hack part of it though, I don’t really like mouse/keyboard controls.

Also, I think stuff like ripping the shields off pirates in MP3 feels quite satisfying.
