Hey, just be happy you’re not in ICQ.

It doesn’t warrant warrantilessness?

I’ve been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I’d never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it’s the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven’t played it, so I can’t disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

I think the limited number of room transitions would stress me out, but I like the concept and love the punny name.

My pleasure!

No worries, sorry for being unclear.

IMHO he’s pretty good to watch. “LGR” stands for “lazy game reviews,” which I guess is how he started, but these days he mainly talks about retro hardware with an occasional game review (such as the one above). He gained popularity recently after being impacted by a weather event that unfortunately damaged a lot of rare hardware he was storing.

Hope you like him!

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you of plagiarism or anything; I just found the comparison apt.

In case you find yourself interested, feel free to compare and contrast: https://youtu.be/imFr96t_XuA

This is basically LGR’s review summarized.

I watched Kevduit play a version of this game and one of the early quests was “abandon your first base.” Now I don’t know what to think.

To do so legally, you might have to negotiate with that one guy who wants to own every copy of Sneak King.

Every time I see a post with this caption, the environment largely looks fine, but there are consistently two issues:

• Poor seating (especially visible in this picture, where I didn’t notice a chair and sitting on a fixture would strain your back over time)
• Neck strain (usually by having the TV sit on the floor, so you’d have to crane your neck to see it)

Sounds awful.

This was back in 2006 or so. I don’t recall if 4G was around then, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t available as an internet provider. If it was, I wasn’t aware.

I’m pretty happy with my current internet solution, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!

I tried this in the first place I lived at where I paid for my own internet, which was Comcast at the time.

They said (paraphrasing because it was a long time ago) their contract specified they were not responsible for any outages, nor any income lost due to same. I don’t know if that’s true, but I was young and naive and accepted it at face value.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the information.

Can you explain the Will Smith reference? I am unaware of any affiliation he has with Steam / Valve.

Thank you for the details, much appreciated. I extrapolated from the other response - more or less, as you said - but you provided plenty I couldn’t have guessed.

Ah, I think I understand. Thank you.

I’m afraid to ask what that is.

I don’t know anything about this game, but I’m tired of that one guy spamming it in the comments of RCE videos. The description makes it sound pretty cool despite that.

I can’t comment on the comparison, as I didn’t play most of those, but I will comment on Sands of Time:

The premise of the game is that the protagonist is recalling a story. He narrates your actions as you play, but you can fail. If you fail, you can die. If you die, the narrator says things like “and then I died. No, wait, that’s not right” and you can rewind time.

I always thought that was pretty funny.

That sounds a lot like the Prince of Persia series.

No idea whether they’re any good or not, but there are already at least two Tintin games.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, based on the film

and

Tintin Reporter - Cigars of the Pharaoh, based on a book.

While I don’t disagree with anything you said, I think this comment descended into nihilism with alarming rapidity and I hope you’re okay.

I genuinely try to add to the conversation whenever I comment and avoid “this” style comments. I don’t necessarily do a great job based on my comment history.

But I have to say … This comment was brilliant.

My five year old would strongly disagree with you.

Though they would call it “Buzzy Butt.”

Also, IIRC, at the time they said he was done as a character.

Is that both outgoing and incoming?

edit: diminished redundancy.

Hence the “bastardization” part.

My mind went to “we’re the Monkees,” but that’s a bit of a bastardization and also ages me somewhat. I’ll just pretend I’ve ever heard of Sseth. Yeah! References! And so on.

Previously, I have not commented on your posts, but I appreciate them. You have your imitators and they have some good stuff, but so far as I can tell, you’re their progenitor. Thank you for your Lemmy contributions.

Obviously this comment doesn’t add much to the conversation, but it’s my 1337th comment, so I wanted it to be a joyful one … And currently every other post on my feed is depressing or at least highly contentious, so I would appreciate you for being the exception even if I didn’t enjoy your content.

That’s a fascinating way to spell… Presumably “quarterback”?

Thanks for the information! Or perhaps I should say merci.

What is MP in this context?

I originally bought (yes, bought) Fortnite because a friend and I were super into H1Z1 (now the non-existent “Just Survive” version, RIP) and he thought they would be similar. They certainly weren’t identical, but there was definitely some overlap.

Then PUBG started to get popular and both H1Z1 and Fortnite completely redesigned themselves … One more successfully than the other.

Wasn’t the OG a base building survival game?

This looks different from the movie.

Like this one?

The impulse is understandable, but yeah. You’d think they’d learn.

Absolutely!
