Like it even matters at this stage.

How have we still not mastered animating arms?

I’ve finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I’m finally playing it myself - and beating it!

This is why I cannot abide the Halo series. I came to them having been raised on Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life. Halo was like moving through molasses.

…and a convivial Thursday in November to you too!

[…]because nearly everyone who speaks English is a capitalised pronouns user. I. The subject form of the first person pronoun. While it’s not a matter of importance to most people, it is still the proper form used in legal documents and anything else that needs to be done “correctly”. And it got that way because someone, at some point in history, felt their pronoun ought to be capitalised and convinced everyone else to generally agree.

This is as far as I got. That isn’t why we capitalise “I”, as others have pointed out, and if the argument held true then we’d capitalise “Me” as well, which we don’t in English.

You’ve clearly thought about this enough that anything I say isn’t going to change your mind, so I’m just addressing the actual argument being made in that opening paragraph because it’s categorically incorrect. I’m not going to bother reading the rest because I’m bored already. You might as well try to fight the tide on stuff like this.

I say that as someone who got tired of people shortening their name and instead changed their name to one that cannot be shortened because it’s the only effective way to accomplish the objective.

Whilst I don’t care about game discs, the notion of a high end media device without a UHD drive seems nuts to me.

…and nothing of value was lost.

Ugh, yes, that’s really obnoxious.

Third time’s the charm, eh?

Indeed it is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign_/(generic/)

Edit: Does anyone know the correct way to escape brackets in URLs on here? I cannot seem to get it to behave.

I’m somewhat tickled by the snippets of adverts I’ve seen for both Samsung and Apple’s new phones that mention “AI”. None of what I’ve seen has actually explained why it’s a selling point. Classic cart before the horse stuff.

Ultimately I’m not the target market for flagship phones as the price has spiraled out of control to the point where I cannot fathom how it can be justified for such a mundane device.

I tend to think of “the world is ending” as being terrible writing from the outset. If you’re starting from that, you’ve only yourself to blame.

To put the shoe on the other foot:

• “No time wasters” (You’re wasting your own time writing this for your listing)
• “Bought for ¤x” (You think your item is worth more than it is and will be a pain in the arse about it)

I’m glad it wasn’t just me.

The greatest single-playthrough game would be a fun category. I think my picks for that might be What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, or Grim Fandango. Fire Watch would probably get an honourable mention.

A “pinacle of a (mostly) defunct genre” category might be a good one too. I would argue that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is the best isometric RTS games ever made.

No love for Washing Machine Emulator?

On launch 2042 was complete crap but I had some fun with it two years ago. I particularly liked being able to swap out my weapon attachments on the fly.

“Our community” feels a bit monolithic. It’s like saying “film watchers” or “readers”. Lumping anyone that plays video games regularly into a single social group feels unhelpfully reductive.

I absolutely loved the modern day story. I was so very invested and it still smarts a bit that they lost interest in doing it justice.
