Was it Pong?

I just gave my DnD blue box set to a friend last week. I bought it in 1979 😄

Pitfall by Activision for the Atari 2600. I’m old.

The ol’ rank and yank.

I do it because I want to see the other endings, or mess with the loot thats available on one path versus another. It’s a way of exploring the game as a construct. I’m curious why you question that approach?

Desert wasn’t really a cyberpunk setting until BR 2049. Post-apocolyptic sure, MadMax had that stitched up in 1979, but not cyberpunk.

Pick lots of ballise fruit in White Orchard. It is tougher to find later on.

The Kingdom of Loathing guys (Jick and Mr Skullhead) had a development approach to keep their game system balanced. They felt that players had different primary motivations/enjoyment in the game and they wanted to make sure there was something for everyone. They divided players into four groups: Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds.

Hearts enjoyed the social aspects of the game and would use the chat system and clans extensively.

Clubs were the PvP crowd and weren’t happy unless there were meaningful opportunities to battle other players.

Spades are explorers and look to every nook and cranny of the environment, and are interested in underlying game mechanics (this is me).

Diamonds are collectors and completists. They will scour environments to ensure they got everything and do all the sides because they want all the stuff.

By number 3 there were extended scenes. No penis or vulva.

Tell me you’ve never played a Witcher game using a whole paragraph.

Please please please let it be Lambert and Keira Metz squabbling all over the continent as they track something stupid.

Kim Kardashian had a game?
