I hope Nintendon’t

Remember that tagline from the 90s? “She’s does what Nintendon’t”?!

I can’t remember what they were doing, maybe allowing blood in Street Fighter 2 and Kortal Kombat but by MK2 Nintendo changed their mind

Looks amazing, like a whole new game with all new characters. The only DLC I’ve played was for Bloodborne, so I’m not familiar with FS’s approach, but if Old Hunters is any indication, this is going to be so good!

No need for flashlights anymore!

Let’s revolt and bring back web rings!

I would be onboard if I can kill Benny an infinite number of times

The writeup on Section 31 is very good and was following along until you listed almost every couple on DS9 being in toxic relationships. Maybe you’re confusing relationship conflicts with toxicity? Maybe I don’t know what toxic means.

I’m pretty good at seeing different sides of an arguement, but you’ll have to do a lot more convincing on Kira/Odo, Jadzia/Sorf, Sisko/Jennifer/Kassidy being in toxic relationships. These relationships work for me because they are trying to overcome cultural and professional challenges. One character might not budge on something but overall they try to work things out.

I feel the same way. The writers do such a good job integrating ST lore that it just really displays their knowledge and respect for the universe.

Off the top of my head:

• random references to made up Star Trek words and concepts, like Ponfarr and Chadeetch (I’m not looking these words up)
• getting to revisit 1 off species. Everyone loves the metaphor aliens (TEMBA ARMS WIDE OPEN) so it’s fun to bring them back and poke fun. It’s basically the Airplane scene (“Excuse me miss, I speak jive.”)
• Characters are very aware of various ways to die as red shirt

It’s a fun show

CGI jowls!

Has Sonoma broken anyone’s apps or workflows?

“Steve, your numbers are down. We have reason to believe you have not been viewing enough pornographic material at work.”

Gesus F, he bought Fox for 600M??

Being able to say this out loud is a big step. +1 emotional maturity. +1 admitting he’s got a problem.

I’ll not deny that he has passion, but someone really should have reigned him in. It only hurt the game when it inevitably never delivered. Who comes up with game features on the spot to the media? No respect for the people who actually have to make the game, sheesh.

Actually!!! I was trying to think about a cop and bad guy switching roles and though of Face-Off when I was writing my comment! what a coincidence

4/5 for me when I saw it in 2002. It was so good Scorsese made an English language version and won Oscars. I think I view it in the context of other HK gangster films, which are numerous. There are definitely some tropes I think I “fall” for (bad guys having morales, bad guys with personalities like good guys), but overall I found it very original.

Cybersecurity mainly for their customers. I guess the data they gather can show trends. Fuckin’ gov-sponsored hackers, man.

Haha, how good? On my own, I can probably solve a Tuesday, maybe if lucky a Wednesday on my own with no cheating. The proper nouns get me all the time.

God mode. You can turn it on and every time you die, you get a little stronger. I remember the game asking me if I wanted to turn it on.

While I played and enjoyed it, I expected a lot more from Obsidian (makers of Fallout New Vegas). I loved going from planet to planet and exploring. Love the VATS system from Fallout, so that was nice to have here. The graphics are aces, but sometimes I think they spent too much of their time on buildings and textures vs designing levels. The planets themselves seem a little “shallow.” There are like 5 locations on a whole planet to check out, and there are roads the you need to stick to. The Obsidian sense of humor is here. I’m not trying to be a hater though, just an Asian dad.

I dropped off on Metal Gear after Guns of the Patriots. The convoluted story really had me confused. I’m not even sure I remember the gameplay. I had a TON of fun with Snake Eater and MGS though. I love stealth games, so maybe I’ll give it a try.

Highly recommend; it’s on my list. It’s a low-barrier roguelike to get into. Overall, the genre has some friction points, but this game is really smart about it. There is a story! It is advanced every time you die. You slowly get more stats each time also. However, If the game determines you are dying ‘a lot’, it will allow you to decrease the difficulty so you won’t abandon the game. The fun is in combining Greek god powers; you can ‘git gud’ if you want a challenge, but it’s not necessary to ‘have fun.’
