Sakuna, of Rice and Ruins is about a goddess in a fictional but very shinto-adjacent religion in a country not quite, but not entirely unlike Japan. She’s the daughter of her pantheon’s God of War and Goddess of Harvests. She bashes monster heads and she sows rice, and both are important.
Fun and light-hearted, with a small cast of quirky likeable characters.
General opinion seems to be this is definitely a game.
Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.
They did say that GOG didn’t mean “Good Old Games” anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.
They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them…
They’d be crazy to stop that. As you said, it’s one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.
Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they’re in a playable state.
But it’s a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you’re maintaining that one.
Isn’t that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and “enhanced” textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?
Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?
Checks out, the Pokémon universe was actually just Japan all that time.
Google Game Boy Light.
Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline’s Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80’s references sprinkled on it. Those references include “the last Starfighter”, of course. It’s terrible.
The podcast “372 pages we’ll never get back” with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they’re going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.
I was confused reading that comic, because in French checkers is called “dames”.
So yeah, even in that game, the guy would barge in and command you to “lady” him.
The quotation marks are a nice touch. Quality trolling.
Now play Fire Emblem. The S rank Sword of Ultimate Swording has 10 uses before it vanishes from existence. I’m keeping it in my inventory untouched forever.
Can’t wait for the Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft skins.
And Metroid only had Samus Returns quite late in the 3DS’s lifetime, and absolutely fuck all on Wii U. Only virtual console.
If anyone even remembers it, no, Federation Force doesn’t count.
You’re paying for the better seed, obviously. Do you think random numbers come for free?
That’s okay, you can drop any pretense of trying to actually make a game around your crypto scam.
Congrats for banning two innocent customers for “security reasons” (apparently code for “your own incompetence”), that’s definitely the kind of thing you need to make your victims customers trust your shady bullshit.
The article is not about how the game shouldn’t be political (because this notion is absurd). It’s about how idiotic the treatment of the writer’s views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.
The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.
Where I live, even our winter time isn’t close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we’re basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.
Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It’s just because of how we already compensated for it.
Also every Jarl in Skyrim. Or your own character, if you try sitting on their thrones.
I’ve always found that pose quite funny.
