The only way to resolve this situation is to get Ernest to delegate some of the instance moderation and amount. Every other path forward leads to failure.

That's fine and all, but I have one question. Why would you want to want to revisit the biggest video game scam in recent memory?

NotTheOnlyGamer,

Well, if he doesn't care, then I just might bother the time and effort to pirate it. But then again, a dismissive creator who's working with Markiplier isn't someone I'm really keen on supporting in the first place. I wish him luck, and that he is approximately as successful as I am in financial terms.

I wonder how well the pirate community will pick this one up.

Classic adventure series Broken Sword returns with a sixth instalment and a beautiful remaster (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Classic point ‘n clicker series Broken Sword is planning a big comeback starting next year with a remaster of the original adventure game, followed by a new sixth entry sometime after. Snooping tourist George and snooping professional (investigative journalist) Nico will reunite in the all-new Broken Sword: Parzival’s Stone,...

I'm glad to see point-and-click gaming coming back.

I wonder what this means for Sega now. I hope it's not predicting a pivot to mobile-first.

Exactly. People need to vote with their wallets and PCs.

Cool. Now I really want to play Smite. If only it were available without DRM.

I've thought for a while that something was funny with LTT, because all the stuff they talked about which i knew about, I could find issues that ran from small nitpicks to major problems.

Makes me glad I don't play shooters.

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?

@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Well, that's an interesting development. I hope Capcom takes notice of this.

Well, there's one less company to deal with.

Unless it comes with the old fishing controller (and that controller is also compatible with the Big sections of Sonic Adventure), I'm not interested. Half the fun of fishing games is using a goofy controller.

That's what the Unsubscribe button is for in the email, after the promotion is over. Or setting up a filter in your email to dump everything from Sega into its own folder.

Works for me.

Cool. If the AI voices are an acceptable quality, cheaper for production, and faster to implement, then I'm in favor. I'm not super attached to a person or a specific voice in new animation or voice-acted media. Reducing costs and speed of media creation is a good thing.

Why should the government step in for a private business? Especially if it's one that can be done better and more effectively without humans in the loop? Other jobs get automated - weavers, construction workers, and more. We shouldn't surrender to Luddism.

I've cared about animated works, and I still care a little bit about the product/franchise/etc.. I have never cared about the specifics of the people behind the microphones, or the artist drawing it or using CGI/CAD to create it. The "human factor" is totally unimportant to me, only the end product.

NotTheOnlyGamer,
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Looking forward to it.

I don't believe in ordering. I'm thinking I want the GOTY or the complete version.

How's the feel on the 5 Below keycaps? Every time I've looked at them, I've worried they would be gummy.

Honestly, I think a lot of people have hit the big ones already. Not being much of a horror gamer myself, I would throw Metroid Fusion into the mix as a sci-fi horror game. There's also a horror jankfest called Martian Gothic, which is on PC & PS1, which is interesting for the multiple characters working together through the game - but if they meet, game over - it's by the same team as Dreamweb. There's also Deep Fear for Sega Saturn, which is basically Sega doing Resident Evil, but underwater - I've only ever seen LPs of it, but it looks like fun - I don't know if you need a translation patch. You could try another contemporary game, Fatal Frame, which I played a demo of, where you use a camera to fend off ghosts.

Samus is alone on a space station full of X Parasites, a thing that nearly killed her (and later you'll find out some other stuff about them). She had to have her power suit surgically removed from her body, and her appearance was radically changed. When you go aboard the station, you hope to find survivors - in vain, of course. And through it all, the only "friendly" voice you have is a computer which Samus named Adam, after Adam Malkovich, her former CO.

You're alone. You're trapped with things that very definitely want to kill you, and I don't mean like the Metroids that just want to eat and grow. The X want Samus dead, personally.

Sure, it's a colorful GBA game built on the same engine as Wario Land 4. That doesn't take away the horror when some of the plot beats hit.

First they left Reddit; now they're leaving Fandom. Do they believe they're too big to be overshadowed by Google algorithms?

Oh neat, thank you! I'll have to download that.

I have no problem with a blockchain used in non-monetary context. Consider, for example, a competitive RTS/TBS which recorded RNG events or keystrokes to the blockchain, which helps show if there was lag, and helps to verify that the RNG is fair, and that both players aren't cheating. Or a game with a "Speedrun" mode, recording input as blocks, and making sure it's all publicly verifiable. Think of a Doom demo file, but encompassing all attempts from all connected players; new routes can be discovered quicker and cheaters can be outed near-instantly.

Blockchain as a concept is of great value to anything where public auditing is wanted. We've associated it to scams and money, and that bugs me. Including more aggressive monetization, speculation, and a profit motive makes a game less fun. Including a publicly auditable log of past events in a game built for multiplayer feels like it would be a value-add.
