• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocksteady Is Building Their Next Game On Unreal 5⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  From a read of their wikipedia, it looks like they’ve been consistently on Unreal :) I can imagine they’d have some people who know that program back to front if they still work there! :)

  I tried to install unreal, and it was deeply not fun (linux, epic launcher, disk space, other pains), so I’ve never used it. :)

  Avowed is still going strong! Loving it! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed game director say romance is more romantic when it isn't a system⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did too! It was fresh and fun :)

  You may be interested in one of the designers talking about their “why” for the choice :) it added some context to it, and also made me not expect to see romanceable companions in every game.

  youtu.be/-qX1pJLDMEI - I’m struggling to get youtube revanced to timestamp, but the relevant talking is 8:21 :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Studio Will Work On Several Projects Simultaneously, Insipired From CDPR⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate the thing Obsidian do where they seem to make things in parallel so there’s constantly income (in theory) - hopefully still do good games and it’s a way to stop layoffs after projects end. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)

  Wait… this is EA… are they okay? This is very unlike them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fanatical have a great Special Editions Bundle and a Simulator Collection Bundle worth a look⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely! It’s a solid game, and each game is pretty self-contained, especially new vegas as the setting and writing is very “self-contained”. There’s nods and things, but I never felt like I missed something. :)

  Also it’s just a lot of fun, especially if you like choices and RPG things like perks :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Text Detective - Derek Maker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

  spoiler

  >Me: likewise, you’re much too kind. Am I okay to formally accuse ___? >SERGEANT MAIDA VALE: Absolutely, Inspector. We have ___ confession, but it’s always stronger to have additional evidence to support the charge. With this new information linking ___ and ___, and the suspicious timing of their phone call, we can confidently proceed with formally accusing ___ of theft. It strengthens our case against all three of them. >OH NO! You’ve accused someone without proper evidence or a confession. You’re terrible at your job. YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOU LOSE!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Text Detective - Derek Maker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  thanks for making and sharing this! :) I’m playing now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there people without handedness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhh I just referred to myself as ambicrap! Thank you for this new word! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typhoo Tea teeters on the brink of administration⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel bad (job losses are bad), but I need to note the Tea/teeter pun in the headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I’ve heard barely anyone talk about :)

  It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)

  Guiltily I’d also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)

  My peavey modeling amp was very proud that it went up to 13! :}

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 28 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also can imagine New Vegas being “well, I’m going to play for a few hours… oh god it’s been four months!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Retailer GAME To End All In-Store Video Game Sales⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In case anyone is following this: Eurogamer are reporting that Game have denied this.

  I really hope game will still sell… games, but am cynically wondering if they are measuring the reaction from this to make a decision. :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess that yellow part is where 'destroy your furniture' is located.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, that’s really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)

  It’s been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess that yellow part is where 'destroy your furniture' is located.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he’d walk into a room and think “Hi everyone! I’m a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pirates a game⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet there’s a bunch of quality of life things I take for granted on android! I think you’re right about the search :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pirates a game⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows Phone’s UI is a hill I will die on, it was really nice! I actively missed it for a while when switching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that’s new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn’t know better!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

  I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

  So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

  Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Earthbound / Mother⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does mucous have calories?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  hehe I read the last words a “snot much” and did a double take :)
