It’s fucked. But it’s been fucked for a long time. You just didn’t see it until the other day. It’s like the foaming at the mouth from rabies. By the time you get that far, it’s too late. But that animal bite months ago, and itching and fever were the warning signs, and everybody ignored it.

Makes sense. They need to save some GPUs for the poor crypto farmers and AI speculators.

Don’t worry. Trump won. You’ll hear a whole lot less about Gaza and genocide now.

But I wrote I DO NOT GIVE FACEBOOK PERMISSION in big letters and everything!

Yeah, getting full health back when going in and out of owlbear form is pretty OP, and it hits like a truck.

I hated it at first as well. I really had to explore a lot and level up before it got good. Unlocking more abilities as you level really helps, especially on the melee characters which get extra attacks per turn.

We abused Asto a lot as a sneak attack sniper and locksmith.

You can save mid-conversation if you’re trying to get a particular outcome.

I mean, it’s from 1996. 3D games were in their infancy.

It’s a very methodical and laborious game about checking every last corner and crevice for a way forward, and it’s really not a game that concerns itself with flowing gameplay. Everything is awkward. It all feels very deliberate, from the block based layout to the walk button that takes you right the edge of them.

There’s a few bits where you need to keep running and jumping (the timed flame puzzle for example) and those can be iffy, but there’s not many. It’s a game of its time, and they’ve preserved it all. I’m surprised how well it still holds up if anything, considering the gameplay is left as intact as I remember it.

Yeah, but that Cardinal Glick though. They should have made that guy pope.

Yeah, you need at least to do a jump back from the edge. I think that’s even in the Croft Manor tutorial tbh. It’s very open about it being tile based.

I didn’t even try “modern controls”. I know where I am with the tank controls.

I’m playing Tomb Raider remastered right now and I’m scum saving like a little bitch.

I think young me just didn’t value spare time because he had so much of it.

These Unfinished Business levels are rough as fuck though.

He reminds me more of all those Roger Corman Sword and Sorcery movies from the 80s, like Deathstalker.

The kind of actor who is rugged, generically handsome, but completely unknown and has never done any real acting in his life before and probably never will again.

I love how they look absolutely nothing like Luke and Leia.

It’s like they’d already picked all the props out before they started casting, and just told this guy to just get on and paint something.

Maybe because jeans wearers don’t spam up every thread about clothing with “JUST WEAR JEANS!”

At this point, I’d say an MMO is focused more on the social side, I guess. MMO is a subset of Live Service for sure, but it’s distinct from the usual games in that category.

Plus more players able to be in one place. Just earlier I joined a FFXIV hunt train, with 150 players whizzing about taking down bosses for currency. Don’t really get that in a bog standard Live Service game.

An MMO has a world filled with players, while the likes of Destiny typically just have a hub or menu to get to the gameplay bits.

Never finished it. While no load screens was impressive, it did that with a massive mostly empty area. Way too long. Music wasn’t my thing.

Much preferred Vice City, and it’s spiritual successor, Saints Row 2.

So they can make as much money as possible

Children Ruin Everything: The Videogame.

I mean, I work in IT. It’s hard to take a bunch of sweaty Humpty Dumpties seriously when they tell you the issues with BMI…

You lower it in the kitchen I think, regardless of your build. I think if you’re healthy, you know how much to pay attention to a single number.

Well it incentivises neither.

I’ll admit I was disappointed that I put on weight once I worked out a bit, but there’s still plenty of podge to go before I can blame BMI for me being slightly overweight.

For all the time I’ve been told how bad BMI is, and how it classes top athletes as obese, I can’t help but notice how few of those people have the body of a top athlete.
