*Alien Resurrection. Alien Isolation is a recent title.

The two biggest complaints in the review seem pretty avoidable to me. The first is that they exploited a bug in combat and then were mad when that broke a quest.

Second is that they said that scaling was odd, with one computer (thickly entrenched 40k nerds are already mad with the use of the word computer instead of cogitator) in an area was an easy skill check to use and one in the adjacent area was difficult to use. That doesn’t seem like a red flag to me, or at least, it doesn’t seem like that in isolation.

So my take away is that some things will be mathematically harder than other things, and don’t purposefully exploit bugs. I don’t think this review has deterred me from buying.

Without spoilers, I will say it gave me two incorrect answers before I gave up. I think it’s neat, but it didn’t feel quite ready to me.

Oh boy! The game we should have had at launch? I can’t wait to get in my space ship, take off from a planet, fly to a new one, and land without being forced to fast travel.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Kongregate is still operational, much less had enough employees to announce layoffs.

Ooh I will be checking that out tonight. I could never get the whole package of “trap edge in kiosk mode for xcloud” working.

The 3ds remake had MGS4 controls including third person shooting. I was surprised to see both crouch walking and first person “classic” aiming.

This is visually impressive but with what they’re showing in gameplay, it doesn’t look much like 4 or 5 like I think I expected? The aiming looks like it’s the 2 and 3 style of stop, hold aim, move gun. That said, it also showed crouch walking which isn’t in 3. I’m curious how similar or different it plays.

My big points to hit for a remake would be an improved camo and surgery system. The original game has you pressing start a lot. Like a lot. Having a quick menu for camo would be gigantic. Surgery right now is mostly, you’re in a boss fight and got hit, now pause and see if you ran out of bandages yet.

The refund window on the upgrade cost is shorter than most people would probably like to see, but it’s pretty reasonable since it does stretch back like six months from the CS2 release.

Still, doesn’t solve that there are some number of CS:GO players who have been cut from the game overnight. Cutting support for DX9 and 32-bit systems was overdue, but it’s still unfortunate.

The Internet will also tell you 80% is shit.

No ash? That’s smoking butane.

The implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

My partner and I left the apple ecosystem about a year ago. We got new phones and gave our old watches, airtags, and airpods to friends and family that wanted them. It felt like it was going to be too much to give up, but honestly it’s been great.

There’s so much more freedom in every facet of the phone. Apple likes to give an option, a rich people option, and occasionally a truly professional tier. Leaving Apple behind, I have wireless earbuds I love that have an 8hr lifespan out of the dock. They were fifty dollars and they sound easily better than airpods. It felt like it would be expensive to leave, but the alternatives once you leave the ecosystem tend to be cheaper pound for pound.

And some pretty well known recent indie games have been made in Godot, like Cassette Beasts.

Or Russ with Retro Game Corps

Be careful what you wish for. We all really wanted Kingdom Hearts 3

Disney has been involved with video games since the late 80s. Recently they were involved with Disney Dreamlight Valley and the new Illusion Island.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

I also thought it was a fascinating read and wanted to comment, but your comment made me scroll down and now I don’t even know what Linux is anymore.

From like 1904-1906 Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle to show how the happily non-regulated meat market was running behind the scenes. The result was America saw a huge decline in red meat consumption. There’s a moral standing at f not letting other humans be treated that way, but more to the point, people got a peek on how their meat was processed and packaged in terms of sanitation and food safety. The contents of the novel were confirmed by a third party investigation. It led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug act in 1906, which laid the groundwork for the FDA a couple decades later.

So yes. The government absolutely should be involved in food. We’ve had them involved for the past, oh, century or so and it’s why you can buy ground beef with the basic assumption that it won’t make you sick.
