Make DEVELOPERS pay a subscription and remind them they don’t actually own the content voice actors lease to them?

How diabolically just.

Please make the dudebros go crazy by hiring an unconventionally beautiful MMA fighter to play Aloy.

Is there a chance that Popeye movie might get released now?

That was beautiful.

Blue Shift is much shorter than Half-Life or Opposing Force, but it is a lot of fun to try to get out of Black Mesa alive without a power suit or excessive weaponry.

Still waiting for Mini Motorways to not be gatekept by Apple Arcade on iOS.

I’ve been playing Mini Metro for almost ten years now.

Does it make that same unsettling sound?

Loved Opposing Force and Blue Shift. Back when expansions were their own games.

“Remember, no pies.”

Always do 100 coins when collecting red coins, the levels change or open up more during that star. There’s only a couple of stages with just enough coins for a 100-coin star. Most have way more coins than needed.

The water in Mario 64 was a surreal experience for me. More contemplative than scary. I was disappointed by the artificial barriers and would day dream about what was beyond them. I drew fake maps in a notebook that showed how the castle connected to the rest of Mushroom Kingdom.

The only thing scary about the water was the first time I saw the eel because the size of it surprised me and the submarine level with the shark. Once, I dreamed that the first part of that level was dark and I had to avoid the shark without being able to see it.

A real “checks notes” moment.

“Boring conversation, anyway.”

There are unused assets in the original World of Warcraft that suggested a player housing system was being developed but never finished. The idea is as old as MMORPGs are.

The Anime/Manga/video game series dotHack, which is about a fake MMORPG, predates WoW by several years and has player housing for some of the characters.

What’s next, a dance studio?

I like to invoke the old magic of installing from a disc.

Everyone is very familiar how Konami ran Kojima out of the company and then ran Metal Gear into the ground.

They’re desperate to keep it solvent.

I hope they fail and Kojima gets to buy back his IP at pennies on the dollar.

“Okay, I found a great NAS made by another company.”

D-Link: “No, wait!”

The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.

I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.

That’s some proper gaslighting!

Without Kojima, that’s simply not going to happen.

Alex Casey, aka Max Payne, aka Bruce Willis.

Can’t say “good guy Nintendo,” because Nintendo is not good, guys. But they did the right thing.

I get the sarcasm even if others don’t.

Someone else on Lemmy said you couldn’t invent libraries today. It’s true.

“No! They’ll enjoy preserving our history to muuuch!!”

They know the dark secret of book preservation. The people preserving the books… gulp READ THEM!

Police chopper pilot: “Hey, I thought you couldn’t swim!”

Gee…

And how many digital editions were sold to people who wished they could have gotten one with a disc drive?

The numbers are in, Sony. Don’t sit there and say ‘Nobody wants to buy discs anymore.’ Almost everyone. Almost everyone wants to buy discs anymore.

A black and white photo of someone famous and the headline starts with their name and greatest achievement, I tensed up for a moment.

It’s public domain music and Linux, I swear!

“LEEROOOOY JENKINSSS!!!”

Most unsurprising gaming news this month.

More surprised that any founders remained at the zombified husk of a company that used to be Blizzard.

Missile: approaches

Helicopter pilot: “Adios.”

I’m shocked these games still have single-player stories.

He’s so concerned about everyone.

At least it wasn’t a long-standing hardcore world.

Continues to play The Sims 2 like a boss

Wasn’t it the last Sims games made by Maxis as a separate studio? Isn’t that why everything after it felt so lifeless?

checks

It was the last major Sims title released while Will Wright was still with the company. That would explain it.

Maxis continues to exist as a studio under EA, but most of the original people are gone, including the founders.

Is that a croissant for a mustache?

The inherit calm of a Mario game when no enemies are present.

You will never hear of Chuck Norris’ exploits while hoofing it across the entire Barrens to finish one fetch quest again.

She was also a Spartan in Halo.
